They finally arrived at the forced labor site by nightfall.

All hid behind dense bushes, far from the labor camp.

"Alright everyone... That is the forced labor site we've been searching for."

"It looks quite secure, encircled by tall huge wooden barriers." Gabriel said, surveying the area through wooden binoculars made by Hizo.

Gabriel handed the binoculars to Sylphy.

"Hmm... You're right. There are many The Bliss guards on watch." Sylphy remarked, scanning the surroundings.

She returned the binoculars to Gabriel.

"Listen carefully, everyone. We'll plan our strategy first. Open your ears and share your suggestions," Gabriel said, gathering them in a circle.

Kaizoku offered his advice. "We should attack tomorrow. We need rest after such a long journey!"

He continued. "If we attack now, Thomas will be useless since they'll be unalert at night. Easily take one by one silently."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Gabriel calmly responded. "However, if we attack during the day, Underworld portal will have a higher chance of absorbing us."

"If they become aware, the Underworld could potentially pull us in due to its proximity."

Kaizoku replied with uncertainty. "But we can't just attack. We've already struggled to subdue Thomas, we need rest. Come on, Gabriel, you don't want us to be exhausted, right?"

Gabriel finally relented, seeing how tired Kaizoku and the others were.

"Fine. We'll attack at midday, and no one leaves these bushes without my permission. Is that clear?"

Everyone bowed their heads, understanding Gabriel's instructions.

"Get some sleep tonight, and stay quiet and still. I'll keep watch and ensure our safety. Just rest."

Gabriel returning to monitor the labor camp with his binoculars.

Kaizoku and the others lay down, gazing at the beautiful stars.

The peaceful night slightly lightened their weary spirits.

The starry sky's glimmer offered an inexplicable sense of tranquility, as if the night sky was telling a story through its sparkling light.

A gentle night breeze carried the refreshing scent of earth and grass, while rustling leaves added to the calm atmosphere.

Distant night sounds whispered softly, like nature attempting to soothe every exhausted soul.

The silence was incredibly peaceful. Tonight, no threats loomed, no storms, no sun light, no enemy approached—only nature's serenity embraced them.

Under the vast sky, they felt simultaneously small and significant, part of something greater than themselves.

Kaizoku never seen a beautiful night sky like this world, complitely different from his previous world.

They recognized this as one of those rare moments of true peace, for now at least.

"Don't know if this will be my last night or not, but please, no sun light again. Now, why didn't my previous world have a feeling like this?"

Kaizoku sighs while stargazing the sky. "Very beautiful, if only I had my cowboy collection, it would be even more perfect. I miss playing that game."

"When can I become a cool character like in the game Blue Alive Damnation? The name alone is cool, BAD." Kaizoku chuckles while inspecting his revolver.

Eventually, Kaizoku and the others drifted into calm thoughts and fell into a deep sleep, recharging their energy for the next day—a day that would determine their fate: survival or otherwise...
