After moving beyond Qiongda’er Forest, the elven migration group scattered into a long, single-file formation to lure human thieves from the Golden Plain into attacking. However, their path was carefully chosen. They kept roughly parallel to the northern bank of the Naga River.
This measure ensured that if attacked, the assailants couldn’t surround them from both flanks. With their backs protected by the Naga, they would face enemies from only one direction, preventing the elves from being overwhelmed.
Of course, the elven group remained not exactly at the riverbank, but about two kilometers away. This prevented attackers from easily driving them into the water with a sudden charge. The possibility of enemies first crossing to the north bank and then launching an assault seemed remote.
After all, the migration group was spread out over two kilometers, and shapeshifted Druids were constantly patrolling the skies. Thief bands wouldn’t find it easy to slip around them undetected. Unless they first crossed the Naga River, waited on the south bank while their comrades launched the main attack from the north, and then crossed back to strike from behind.
But these attackers were loose bands of smaller thieves. Who among them would willingly act as the vanguard, sacrificing themselves for others’ gain? Therefore, even Qin Lun hadn’t really considered this possibility seriously.
