The Martial Unity

Rui put his thoughts aside as they were attacked multiple times after the first attack. Sometimes it was hippogriffs, other times it was larger wild cats, and sometimes it was aerial beasts.

Yet each time they were attacked, the Martial Apprentices and the canons fired, warding off beasts before they could even come closer to the convoy. Most creatures that attacked them either died or got hurt enough to simply run away. Ultimately. Most creatures in the animal kingdom had a strong sense of survival that prevented them from fighting highly dangerous battles that would likely result in them getting butchered.

After many hours of agonizingly slow travel, they finally reached the core of the Serevian Plateau.

The land had suddenly and sharply elevated highly at a particular point, just as Rui had remembered it.

The only question was how the carriages of the dungeon team were going to travel up all the way to the surface of the elevated land.

That had also been planned by the Ministry. The convoy veered to the side as they traveled parallelly to the Serevian Dungeon before they happened upon a particularly large cave that was much larger than any of the ones that they had run into prior. The cave had been located prior to the commencement of the mission when searching for a cave that would allow the dungeon team convoy to reach the surface of the Serevian Dungeon.

The convoy temporarily broke formation as the carriages proceeded one by one through the large cave, following a particular path that brought them to the surface. The Martial Apprentices had secured the entrance and exit of the cave and had also scouted the path ahead of time to make sure that there weren't any hostile Apprentice-level animals that would pose a threat to the particularly more vulnerable carriages of the convoy.

Rui nodded as the final armored carriage finally pushed itself up to the surface of
