It's the chapter where Ashes Spoiler: spoiler but not really a spoiler dies I thought I'd be able to tell which chapter it was by reading the chapter titles but nope. I remember reading a few chapters past that and MC's princess sister was crying (Tilly was her name I think?) If I remember correctly Ashes dueled some high level Demon when they exterminated the outpost, it was some kind of trap meant to kill that Witch who can merge herself with the forest.
