The half of the mercenary army that had been blocking the road during the White Whale subjugation returns to join the main force. Subaru then leads the way into the forest of the Mathers domain, hoping to find and destroy the Witch's Cult before they can learn of the subjugating army's movements.

Or is it harder to lift your head here
Oder ist hier auf den Boden

 в деревне, чем шум в замке?
