Chapter 23: The Journey Back to the City
A few hours after morning arrived, six medium-sized carriages arrived, each pulled by a strong horse.
The carriages carried some equipment and a few individuals as well.
There were also around 30 goats, each ridden by either one or two people.
It wasn't an ordinary goat; its size was nearly that of a horse, making it well-suited for moving through the mountains.
The captain of the arriving squad dismounted—a middle-aged man dressed in black.
"How was the journey?" asked a man with his hair tied in a ponytail, the captain of the current squad.
"It was smooth enough," replied the captain of the newly arrived squad.
They began talking among themselves while everyone else remained in their positions.
Kogan and Hinako stood beside the duo who had saved them, watching the captains converse.
Suddenly, both captains turned toward Kogan and Hinako, with their commander pointing a finger at them.
"He's a deaf and weak person," the ponytailed captain said in a regretful tone.
