"Wait, wait, wait!"
Bard was in shock and disbelief. But to Lann, he actually already believed the Dwarf's words; it's just that the meaning behind them was too terrifying, causing him to reject acknowledging it from the bottom of his heart.
"First Dwarves, then a...human? And a clothed cat, followed by Beastmen? What is going on?"
"The situation is—Long Lake Town is in danger, Bard."
Lann spoke calmly to him. When facing someone in a panic, a steady tone can help him regain his rationality.
"Those Beastmen started pursuing this group of Dwarves in front of you from the west side of Mist Mountains and have chased them all the way here without giving up."
"I don't think they'll abandon their plan just because there's a small town built on the lake, a fishing village."
"Are you saying..." Bard's pupils enlarged and he instinctively turned to look at his three children. "They will come to kill?!"
"Highly likely." Lann shook his head as he spoke.
