Chapter 38 - Interlude - Professional Stalker
Four days after Bickar and Lenitia crossed paths, Bickar's troops stationed two kilometers away from the Rascit Bridge. He observed his troops and sighed.
The prolonged trek and their continuous movement behind enemy territory wore his soldiers down. Everybody slept less than 3 hours per day. Their horses dragged their feet, and they rarely raised their heads. Bickar noticed their sluggishness and knew they had reached their breaking point.
Bickar could not find Crow no matter how hard he looked. The last trace came from the secondary entrance of a cave, which was heavily protected by Avaritia forces. Zoli also loitered in the area, making the search impossible.
Giving up on Crow, Bickar regrouped with his men and collected other information for his lord. They captured a few Avaritia soldiers and interrogated them.
