Nighttime had finally arrived, which meant it was time for the meeting.
Derrick had convoked William, Eloise and Jack to the city hall.
As soon as everyone was seated at the table, he began.
"Eloise, report"
The fiery woman's behavior slightly changed, which was instantly picked up by the necromancer. It appeared that the news weren't all good.
"Out of the 50 groups sent, 37 came back without injuries. Those groups managed to secure migratory deals representing 10 000 people who will arrive during the next few weeks. They also requested for an armed escort, which we agreed to.
Out of the 13 remaining, 8 came back severely injured, with some even stripped of their gear. They are currently being treated, and their lives aren't in danger. The culprits are 8 villages representing 8000 heads, all possessing a decent militia behind them. The returnees didn't manage to obtain an estimate, but we roughly think that they have around 100 to 130 soldiers per village"
