Third Person's POV
After two days of waiting, Abbot grew restless.
On June 21st, he said to Stewart, "We can't just wait here uselessly. Let me take a dozen men across the grasslands and circle the mountain to see if we can find Lance. I'm worried he might've been injured during the rescue."
Stewart replied, "Don't rush. A dozen men won't make a difference. This vast mountain, covered in dense forests with no direct paths, makes it nearly impossible to meet up."
"But waiting here idly won't help either," Abbot argued, clearly anxious.
"Actually, deploying so many soldiers here by the commander serves no real purpose. If they've crossed the grasslands safely, they're already secure. Whether we're three thousand or a thousand, none of us can cross the grasslands and scale the mountain."
