"Captain Baek, what do we do?"
"Hold and contact Mirsha for confirmation on the situation. I may be the one who accepted the mission and the one acting as a leader, but at the end of the day, she is the one leading us."
"Okay." A man wearing black armor touched his earpiece to contact someone east of the perimeter they had around the mysterious daemon village, "…Mirsha, what is your status?"
Mirsha, a woman with flowing red hair and a staff received the call and answered with a lowered voice, "We are on the clear; the other two areas have reported that we are ready to go, but something is wrong."
"What is it?"
"70% of the scouts have yet to return or even make contact. I have lost all contact with Piskis, and he is not one to act like that. I fear that something had gone awry."
In the Scorching Forest, there had been many deaths happening for the past weeks before their arrival. Baek, however, thought they had avoided such a fate.
