Chapter 323: Regular Training Excercise

The scouting party that had once been led by the hopeful beta of Winter had consisted of five men.

Mateas was a young man skilled in tracking and a reluctant leader when the position was suddenly made available.

Devon was a quiet man in his mid-years. He was a good archer and happy to live a life of service and solitude where he could.

Arthur was only nineteen and excited by the prospect of glory. He had taken it particularly hard when their leader had turned out to be a traitor.

Lane and Oren were the final members of the unit. These were the two men that helped the traitor escape after he had attacked Caleb.

They had been scouting through the trees after the battle with the fae. Searching for any stragglers that might pose a problem for Winter. So they were shocked when they came across their leader, bloodied and dying.

They treated his wounds and tried to take him to the hospital, but he refused. Instead, begging them to take him south.
