The night vision goggles turned darkness into a blurry green screen, the soft cracking of dry branches echoed in the soldiers' footsteps as they advanced.
The knights surrounding Leon did not wear night vision equipment; they were "Wandering Souls" who could see things in the dark that living people could not.
The headset continuously reported the position and status between various units.
The rapid march lasted a long time, Leon's excellent sense of direction allowed him to constantly estimate his distance from the giant peak.
Suddenly, Canis, walking beside Leon and holding a machine gun, slowed his pace.
"This feeling..." The Young Master of the Wolf Family aimed his weapon at the distant darkness. "There's something underground, not alive, in huge numbers!"
Leon narrowed his eyes and issued a warning through his earpiece: "Everyone, be aware, there might be living corpses hidden underground. Prepare for battle!"
