Lear directed the Mire Wasps to follow at a distance of three to five hundred meters behind, flying low.
To avoid the buzzing of their wings disturbing the enemies ahead.
He also dispatched some to scout ahead with the Wetland Lizard-man scouts.
Two hours later, they had already left the territory by about ten kilometers.
Suddenly, the Mire Wasps ahead sent a warning—enemies spotted.
Lear immediately became alert.
He led the team forward.
After walking about a kilometer, they reached a low-lying muddy area.
Approaching stealthily, they peered through the trees and saw, just two to three hundred meters away, a hundred or so ferocious and crazed beings in the muddy expanse.
Their faces twisted and strange, mouths resembling the petals of a carnivorous plant, splitting open in a cross shape.
Standing over two meters tall, with a gray exterior covered in a thick layer of bone armor.
Appearing solid and thick, resistant to swords and blades.
