In the end, Louis and Timothy decided to go together.
After all, their troops were stationed here and had.. crossed the border nor entered the grassland tribes’ territory.
Only a hundred soldiers in teams of ten would be going
1.in.
As expected, passing the grassland in small groups didn’t draw the attention of the grassland sentries. They
reached the top of Crow Mountain, and waited there. Although Crow Mountain was vast, they occupied the high
ground and could see any movement from afar.
They couldn't just rush down blindly, as Crow Mountain was divided between Sandoria and the grasslands, and a
misstep could lead to conflict.
They knew this, so they left speople behind to keep watch and call for help if -needed. Then, Louis and
Timothy continued on with a dozen or so people.
Meanwhile, Rafael and his group had already reached the base of Crow Mountain. Once they crossed it, they
would be on the grassland. They were only a small group of people entering the grassland, which wouldn't
attract the attention of the grassland tribes. Also, Victor would surely not dare to follow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey had been running without a break. Rafael managed to endure, but the others were struggling. They were so
tired that their legs were shaking.
Moreover, a few had been injured during the rescue. Thomas could still walk at first, though he was slow and
needed ssupport. But eventually, he had to be carried.
Although Rafael was not injured, he had exhausted much of his inner force during the skirmish with the garrison
troops at Sandoria’s border city and had yet to recover. Except for Everett, everyone was exhausted. They
needed a brief rest before climbing Crow Mountain.
However, they had barely rested for a short while when Everett suddenly stood up. He closed his eyes to listen
for a moment, and then said, “They're almost here. That was fast. It must be Victor's elite troops. We must
ascend the mountaih immediately.
Rafael took out a vial of medicine, poured a few pills, and handed them to the injured
to swallow.

His current concern was Lawrence. Throughout the escape, Lawrence's condition had worsened. His breathing
had weakened, and his wounds showed signs of redness and pus. There was sslight improven.

Rafael gently patted his face. “Lawrence, we need to move on. I'll carry you. You must hold on. Your wife is still
waiting for you in the capital. You can’t leave her waiting in vain.”
Hearing the mention of his wife, Lawrence's eyes fluttered open slightly. He looked weakly at Rafael, and said,
“l... I'm a burden...”
Seizing the opportunity while he was speaking, Rafael crushed the medicine and forced it into Lawrence’s mouth.
“Ill carry you. We're moving now.”
Rafael hoisted Lawrence onto his back. Lawrence's tears fell on Rafael’s back, his voice faint as a whisper. “If
something...you have to...leavebehind.”
Though his consciousness was fading, he was aware of the danger. If his presence jeopardized the escape of
everyone, he wouldn't find peace in death.
“Not a single person will be left behind!” Rafael said in a low voice, turning to look at the others who were
supporting each other as they walked. “We're only one mountain away. Once we cross this mountain, we'll reach
the grasslands, and Simonton City will be right in front of us. Do you want to return to your homeland? Do you
want to see the Southern Frontier territory that we've reclaimed?”
Tears welled up in their eyes. “We even dream of it!”
Rafael nodded. “Good! Let's go. His within sight.”
Crow Mountain was high and treacherous. Unlike the mountains they had climbed before, which had dense
forests and undergrowth that could be cleared, this mountain was different.
The lower slopes were manageable, but the terrain becincreasingly steep as they climbed higher. Above the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhalfway point, the cliffs were extremely steep and smooth, with only a few stubborn trees growing from cracks in
the cliffs.
There was effectively no path through this section.
The cliff was at least 330 feet high, and they needed to climb over it to continue upward. Beyond the cliff, the
path would still be difficult. However, they could still cut

a way through.
But this cliff was the obstacle that blocked their progress.
“We have iron hooks and ropes,” Tobias said.
Everett shook his head. “Those are useless. There are no protruding rocks, and the surface is so smooth that the
hooks can’t grip. We'll have to scale it directly and use those small trees for leverage. But your Lightfoot Skills
aren't sufficient. Only Rafael and | can manage it.”
Dylan studied the cliff face, and said, “I can do it too.”
If he could leap up and grab hold of the small trees, he could use them to climb further. It would be difficult, but
he believed he could do it.
Jacob was proficient in Lightfoot Skill, and added, “I can do it as well.”
