One of the big fat sheep, Bridges, led the remaining mercenaries back to the team, his expression showing a hint of panic.
When they returned, the mercenaries who had stayed behind instinctively drew their weapons and looked behind them.
Only after confirming that no beastmen were chasing did they fix their gaze on Bridges.
Sol frowned and asked directly, "Bridges, what's going on?"
Mainly, Bridges' current appearance looked a bit disheveled; weren't they supposed to be reconnaissance?
Bridges steadied his wildly thumping heart and quickly said, "We were ambushed. They didn't choose to directly confront us, but waited until we got close, then attacked. These beastmen are somewhat different."
Sol listened to Bridges' assessment and glanced toward O'Neill, who was still standing above, looking down on them arrogantly.
Especially after Bridges' panicked escape, O'Neill seemed even more cocky, laughing loudly—truly asking for a beating.
