Shock filled his bovine face as he blurted out, "From the sheer depth of these sounds, I'm afraid the ones making them are Tier 6 giant sea demon beasts, at least dozens... no, maybe even over a hundred!"
As Bruno's words fell, the recently returned Minotaur captains and sailors nodded in trembling agreement, their bovine faces clearly displaying their alarm.
