He had no interest in intimidation for its own sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one of you knows the location of the Federation’s hideout?\" he asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five Awakeners exchanged confused glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would the Federation need a hideout?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when they met Thoren’s cold, piercing gaze, the captain of the party forced himself to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sir... we don’t know,\" he stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren nodded faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected much from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he turned away. His undead mount accelerated instantly, vanishing into the distance within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he disappeared completely did the five Awakeners release the breaths they had been holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-He’s too terrifying...\" a young Level 13 Warrior whispered, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I felt like... like I was going to die just by looking at that undead beast,\" another muttered, his voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why is he searching for the Federation’s hideout?\" a third asked uneasily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s none of our concern,\" their captain said firmly. \"Focus on our mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking too much about the Grim Reaper felt like provoking fate itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Thoren, he had already forgotten about them. His mind was singularly focused on his objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, something caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, near the bend of a river, he spotted dozens of makeshift tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he urged his mount to increase its speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s hope they know something,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the river, a temporary camp had been set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakeners battered from prolonged battles dragged their exhausted bodies toward cooking fires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were eating in silence, their faces pale and drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others had collapsed into deep, heavy sleep, too tired to remain conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few were tending to injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that?\" a young woman suddenly asked, pointing toward the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, everyone lifted their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a massive shape was approaching at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the camp shifted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tension snapped into place like a drawn bowstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone reached for their weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shields were raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved into formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does that look familiar...?\" someone muttered uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, no one relaxed their guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a minute, the approaching figure became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An undead beast and standing atop it was a silver-haired young man with piercing blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren slowed his mount as he reached the edge of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a surprise,\" he said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the forefront of the camp was Darius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It truly is,\" Darius replied with a warm smile. \"I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Likewise,\" Thoren said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the camp, noting the exhausted and wounded members of the Knight Order. \"It seems you’ve just returned from another battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is our duty,\" Darius answered firmly. \"We will continue fighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried pride and unshakable determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren gave a small nod of acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darius, do you know the location of the Federation’s hideout or the Slave Trade Guild’s base?\" he asked directly. \"I need to find them immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Darius blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he did not dwell on his confusion.
