Daru's forces eventually ran the camp over, and the Verdant ones personally fell under his blade.
Soon, the odd feeling of being discouraged vanished, along with the unsettling sensation of being scanned, too.
He suddenly felt like he could still go on, so he did.
Since he and his forces were already deep into unexplored territory, Daru decided to continue with his expedition.
Worrying about something that "could not be helped" would only seal whatever grim fate was suggested to him.
He refused to be paralyzed in fear.
Weirdly enough, nothing really happened, and he was able to conquer two more camps, further raising the number of Vitality Trees under his rule.
He also obtained some much-needed resources for expansion.
Dusk was settling, though, so Daru had decided that he would start to travel back to his territory after ten more minutes of expedition.
He did not expect that this bit of extra time would yield some great results.
