Lena was right. Just three weeks ago, the average monster was level 40, and around Havenwood it was even lower. Only creatures that lived in nests, like the Vorathid Ants, could use teamwork to hunt, or monsters as strong as the Bark Behemoths, ever reached such high levels.
While the presence of the Broodmother and the colony mentality of these creatures partially explained the levels, it didn't do it completely.
"I don't have an answer to this… I can only say that I hope other people are doing their best."
Lena nodded. "The last thing would be to take care of the Broodmother in case she escapes the building. She's the real threat. How do we take her down?"
Reidar's voice was steady and sure. "Once we've dealt with her minions, the broodmother will be alone, and there won't be much she will be able to do against my army. Without them, she's just a monster, albeit a very powerful one."
