December 17, the mouth of Winter Valley.
Rows of tents stretch continuously, with rolling white smoke and mist rising into the sky, and looking into the distance nearby, there is a camp like this every few intervals.
On the Short Mountain Plain, you can still see lines of cuirassiers running.
As for between the mountains, villages, and woods, there are always hunters scouting for vampire assassins or high-level vampires.
At the center of the largest camp, a piece of land is cleared, with a circle drawn in white powder on it.
An airship is docked at the circle, unloading precious moon mercury, herbs, and other supplies, then transporting the important wounded away.
This is the last supply run before the battle.
Next to the airship is the infirmary camp, and that morning, Horn rode up fast, dismounted, and walked in.
He never thought that when he saw Jeska again, it would be on a hospital bed.
After six days of feigned pursuit, Horn had completed his scheduled objective.
