"Russell... are you listening? It's just close, not there yet." Arthur complained.
"Tsk, so it hasn't arrived yet. I can't stand hiding all the time!"
"Please bear with me for a moment on this matter... But what you say does make sense. We can't waste too much time hiding from these patrols."
"Oh! Analonde, you're quite understanding. This is exactly what I meant~!"
“… …”Everyone was speechless.
Then Analond took out the map.
After taking a closer look, he handed it to Ika.
"Ika, how long do you think it will take us to reach the Demon King's Castle given the current situation?"

"If this situation continues, we will soon be caught up by them..."
Such information made everyone present at the meeting look a little heavy.
However, they had anticipated this situation the moment they learned that the main force of the Demon King's army was heading towards them.
It's just a matter of time.
"I see. Thank you, Drehak."
"... ...My pleasure."
After bowing respectfully, Drehak slowly returned to his seat.
Hulim looked around the conference room.
There was a certain degree of uneasiness in people's eyes, but they were also much calmer than expected.
