Chaos and Confusion on the Battlefield

The White Reef Shores on the Valla Empire.

Kristina was walking within the walls of the pillbox.

The fortification which stood facing the Tegrono federation from across the Kakatino inland sea was a gate and watchtower of the Valla Empire. At the moment, its appearance resembled an impregnable prison, sinister, wet but exceedingly sturdy even though the interior had long since changed.

"Commander! We've searched around and confirmed thirteen corpses out of the fourteen guards assigned here. One is missing, and we are trying to confirm if he survived…" A soldier in the inspector regiment reported to Kristina then.

"You don't have to look. The last one must have been abducted by the invading monster." The young lady said confidently, shaking her head.

"What!?" The soldier did a double take.

"The evidence is the trail of blood stretching from beside the bonfire out to the main gates," Kristina added.
