Their group had two carriages to bring all their equipment, from tents to construction tools. The first carriage was handled by group A and the second one was given to group B.

In the front, Noel and Stella were sitting in the front, with Stella holding the helm.

Since Noel had nothing to do, he was staring at the map to see the path they took. "Ehm… If I'm not wrong, we're going through the Vines Mountain, right?"

"No, we're going the other way, through the Leimas Plain. It's a plain, so we should pick up some speed. If we go through the mountain, we'll need two weeks to go around it. I mean, that's not a problem if we're in our house and don't have to care about our carriage. But we're not…"

Stella paused for a moment before a smile appeared on her face. She looked at the sky and said, "Do you know about this story… In the past, humans once conquered the world. We ruled over all living beings in this world."
