He looked around at the other three and said, "I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"The bad news first." Drax said first.
"This morning, the grain transport team returning to Thurii was attacked by 300 sailors from Crotone not far from the swamp. The free people guarding the baggage were caught off guard, resulting in 50 casualties and a lot of loss of pack animals. Before our soldiers arrived, the enemy had fled back to the ship anchored on the coast..." Davos read aloud.
"300 people?! The number of Crotone people participating in the attack has increased, and they are getting bolder and bolder! I remember that we have a garrison near the swamp!" Capps said in surprise.
"Perhaps that's why the guards lost their vigilance." Davos said with a serious expression: "We must learn from this lesson to ensure that we won't make the same mistake again in the future!"
Capps and Drax clenched their fists and nodded vigorously.
