The newcomer had a mane encircling his neck and a lion's face full of shame and embarrassment. It was none other than Loris, the leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty of the Humans. It was my momentary oversight that led us straight into the lich's trap, causing our Grand Army to lose control and creating enormous trouble for Your Majesty."
Loris had barely found his footing before speaking with embarrassment, "This problem entirely lies with our Rainforest Fortress Alliance, and we will surely do our utmost to make amends."
At this point, an overwhelming sense of gratitude emerged on Loris's lion face as he continued, "Thankfully, Your Majesty dispatched human strongmen to break the cage that trapped us, which not only saved our lives but also rescued the entire Rainforest Fortress Alliance!"
"Otherwise, if the lich's plot had succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
