Meanwhile, as Wang Han was telling his story, Pegasus, the leader of the Pegasus Mercenary Group, knew that he could not wait any longer and that now was the best time to leave.
After reporting to the caravan, the Pegasus Mercenary Group quickly left the caravan with all its members. The caravan didn't care about the departure of this small mercenary group of only five hundred people, as they could catch up with them in a day.

The Ten Thousand Mountains, true to its name, is a vast, continuous mountain range, indeed numbering a hundred thousand. High and densely forested, the terrain is incredibly complex, making it a notorious bandit stronghold. Bandits are everywhere; even a child on the roadside might suddenly pull out a weapon and rob you. Over time, it became a haven for bandits, with many powerful villains establishing themselves here.
