The actual mission starts from here.

The night passed while nothing unusual happened. As per routine, some beasts had stumbled upon the area, and the mercenaries quickly killed them.

Ozul opened his eyes the next morning when he felt the light enter in his tent. He was a little excited since, according to the map, they are close to the other forest.

He anticipated what dangers lay inside that old forest to make it so dangerous. And if it was really so unexplored that they couldn't even mark any critical points of it on the map, what secrets could it be hiding?

In the previous years, he had done many things, but exploring wasn't one of them. The thought of learning new things and exploring unknown places was somewhat exciting to Ozul.

Only because he knew many things from birth; every piece of new information would delight him because learning it by himself had a unique feel to it.
