There were no campfires in the valley, nor were there any tents. On a small flat area at the bottom of the valley, Iron Peak County cavalrymen lay sleeping in their clothes, leaving no room to set foot.
However, the cavalrymen were in a deep sleep; even if a sentry accidentally stepped on them, they would just turn over and continue sleeping.
In the corner of the camp, the sentry found the commanders of this cavalry unit: Vashka Morozov and Pierre Mitchell.
The sentry immediately reported the urgent military situation, but the reaction of the two commanders was unexpectedly calm. After a brief report, they instructed the sentry to continue surveillance.
"Really." Vashka yawned and searched for lice in his clothes, speaking only after the sentry had gone far: "How does he still have the mind to plunder the common people?"
"If Felter is determined to retreat to Maplestone City," Pierre sketched on the map, his complexion poor but his eyes sharp, "he will need even more supplies."
