"Lord! The battle information has been summarized! Last night, besides attacking Blackflame Mountain Pass and the Fortress of Courage, the Split Claw Clan also sent out seventeen scouts to raid our outposts established near the pass.
Among the seventeen outposts, nine sensed danger in advance and chose to retreat. The remaining eight... have lost contact with us.
Currently, all the external reconnaissance outposts have been cleared, and we've lost our perception of the outside areas. Apart from the scouts sent by the elves, all our 'eyes' have been removed."
While Lord Hether was preparing to personally reclaim the first line of defense at the pass, a tall human knight offspring brought her a piece of expected bad news.
