"Is this a dog hole? No, this is more than just a dog." Estelle led Laine to the corner of the village wall, where several mercenaries were already standing. The deputy leader of the Blood Axe Mercenary Corps, Viert, was there too, along with Banda, who still had his arm hanging in a sling on his chest. Upon seeing Laine arrive, both nodded in acknowledgment—Viert because of Laine's formidable strength, and Banda because Laine had saved his life.
Mercenaries tend to lean toward chaos; compared to rules, they place more value on loyalty and camaraderie.
At the corner of the wall, a large hole had been dug through the foundation beneath, with bricks and earth excavated by some creature, leaving a hole big enough for two people to crawl through.
"We can't find enough materials to fill it, and if this thing can bite through the foundation, whatever we stuff in there would be useless." Viert said with a worried tone.
