One of the big fat sheep, Bridges, returned with the remaining mercenaries to their team, looking slightly flustered.
When they returned, the mercenaries who had stayed behind subconsciously drew their weapons and looked towards their backs.
Only after confirming no Beastmen were in pursuit did they turn their attention to Bridges.
Sol frowned and asked directly, "Bridges, what's the situation?"
The main concern was that Bridges looked somewhat disheveled, which was not expected for someone just scouting.
Bridges steadied his pounding heart and hurriedly said, "We were ambushed. They didn't choose to confront us head-on, but waited until we were close enough before they struck. These Beastmen are different."
Listening to Bridges' assessment, Sol glanced in the direction of O'Neill, who still stood aloof, looking down at them with disdain.
Especially after Bridges' retreat, O'Neill appeared even more arrogant, laughing heartily and looking like he deserved a good beating.
