The humans spent the night camped out, hidden by tree cover. The vast forest allowed enough room for the 100,000 or so humans.
One of General Levi's Commanders noticed Levi wasn't himself, so he asked if everything was ok.
"Everything alright General? You seem off. Was it the journey?"
"Oh, sorry. Just a lot on my mind. Sending 100,000 of us seems excessive and I don't understand why our Kingdom got dragged into this."
"Wasn't King Lance friends with Luther Fang during the peaceful times?"
"Yes, he was. That makes this whole situation odd and awkward. It feels like the Emperor is punishing our Kingdom for our King's relationship with the elves."
"That was over 30 years ago. Why hold the grudge?"
"That's how the Emperor is. We shouldn't even be talking about it. Especially with Charles and Igor around. Those two will sell anyone out to gain favor with the Emperor."
"Get some rest, General. Tomorrow will be here soon."
