Over several days spent in the capital, we maintained a facade of peace.

Things remained as they had been with Ner and Arwin.

With Ner, I shared jokes and took walks.

With Arwin, I learned about literature through conversations.

At the same time, I continued my training with Gale.

Like a habit that surfaces when things get tough, I was fully immersed in my training.

The Head Hunter Unit of the Red Flames Group was no different.

Perhaps it was because they knew the heroes and the king were trying to end the war.

Or maybe because they sensed the final battle was drawing near.

Like in the past, when we could ill afford leisure, the members continued training with me.

And so, as expected, we began to notice a strange shift in the atmosphere, starting with the soldiers in the capital.

Soldiers running around became a common sight, as did those frequently offering prayers.

The forges worked tirelessly, and the stables started to fill the bellies of the horses.

Sensing these changes, strange feelings arose within me.

I wondered if the end was truly near.

This war had completely transformed my life.

Had it not been for this war, my life would have been much different.

Could it really be that we were about to witness its end so abruptly?

My throat kept drying up.

With the final battle approaching, an unpleasant anxiety wrapped around me, fearing the loss of many comrades.

At the same time, my heart couldnt settle, thinking of the many farewells I would face after the war.

Watching a running soldier, I asked Gale.

It seemed like he knew something.

Are we preparing to march?

...

Gale remained silent for a moment, as if reluctant to speak, but then he nodded and replied.

Yes. Felix has requested soldiers from all over the country. Were preparing quietly for a decisive strike.

...

His words left me with a heavy sigh.

It was indeed a silent preparation in every sense of the word.

Behind this tranquil scene lay the anticipation of a fierce war.

It was like the calm before a storm.

It was hard to believe that the end of the war was approaching.

Gale looked at me.

...Soon, Ill be sending you back to the side of the Red Flames Group. Youve spent enough time in the capital.

...

There will likely be intense battles waiting for the Red Flames Group as well. In such a high-profile situation, we cant afford to step back.

...

I heard that Adam Hyung would be awarded a title for his merits in the war.

As Gale said, we were now in a situation where we couldnt withdraw from the war.
