The area near the Stonefang quarters had stronger patrol presence for one simple reason.
Tension.
No matter how much 'unity' the Authorities tried to promote, they understood one thing well. The hatred the two sides held for each other was deeply ingrained into their very beings.
While most could and were controlling it, there was always a chance that someone, on a bad day, might do something irreversible.
And to prevent that, stronger patrols were deployed.
Not only were there more patrol teams here—three teams even had communication crystals, a rare artifact the Velmourns had traded from the merchants that visited them throughout the years.
One crystal was with the Velmourn Patrol, the second with the Stonefang Patrol, and the last was with the only mixed patrol group. This last one was mostly given to report anything that happened—not in the area, but within the patrol party itself.
Right now, however, Gruumak had contacted the second main patrol, the Stonefang group.
