Summary

 * The next day the Crimson Vow pass the Certain Village in which they had previously captured Lobreth, and continued deeper into the forest. They quickly moved through the forest, only stopping to hunt the animals and monsters that could either harm the village or which they were asked to cull as long as it didn't slow them down too much. As night approaches they decide to set up camp for the night.


 * After waking up, the Crimson Vow continue further into the forest. They noticed how there was very few small creatures left and only a few larger creatures remain. After a while Mile and Reina begin to notice someone observing them and shortly afterwards, 4 beastmen attempted to ambush and capture the Crimson Vow but they were unsuccessful. The Crimson Vow managed to escape and tricked the beastmen into thinking they were running away but in reality they wanted the beastmen to return back to their base so that they could follow them. The Crimson Vow followed the beastmen back to their base which was at some ruins. Seeing so many other beastpeople there, the Crimson Vow decide to hide until it was night so that they can do some reconnaissance undetected.


 * That night the Crimson Vow moved closer to the camp. Mile relayed information about where she detected the prisoners and where the guards are. The Crimson Vow members moved closer and Mile used sleeping magic on the guards before entering the hut the prisoners were in. Once in the hut, the Crimson Vow introduced themselves to the 18 prisoners and started to lead them away from the camp.
