Their travel to the Shadow Forest was surprisingly not as smooth as they thought it would be.
Bandits tried to rob them not twice but thrice, which made Ron wonder if the trouble in the northern border had spread to the southern frontier.
Fortunately, the bandits weren't too skilled and mainly relied on their superior numbers. The Dawnseekers easily defeated them and made sure that they wouldn't be able to steal from others again.
After being delayed for a day, they finally reached the outskirts of the Shadow Forest.
There, several tents had already been pitched. Most of the people here were from the military of the kingdom.
The adventurers' camp accommodation was at least a hundred meters away from here, as if to say they didn't want to mingle with the soldiers if possible.
