"But what they could never imagine is that even this seemingly remote edge of the swamp has long been watched by the abyss."
"And I have already seen through their conspiracy!"
Hammerbone's head was buzzing.
'Elves, conspiracies... Is it really this dramatic?'
Aias waved his hand and gave the order, "Immediately send someone back to Golden Glow Valley at top speed. Report the situation here to Lord Casaric. Tell him the Ancient Tree Council's reach has extended this far."
"Yes, Commander!" Hammerbone accepted the order. Just as he was about to turn and make the arrangements, he remembered those troublesome Slimes.
He asked in a buzzing voice, "Commander, what should we do about those Slimes? Are we just going to let them be for now?"
Aias, with his back to him, gazed into the distance and said cautiously, "They are backed by the Elves of the Council. Just sending a single mature War Ancient Tree would be enough to crush all the forces we currently have."
