Ilo arrived at the fortified camp at the entrance to the Divine Wood Dungeon, and behind him were several students, including Salian with Scout Puki on his head, and seven other mages.
The atmosphere here was completely different from the tranquil harmony of Tree City.
The temporarily reinforced fences and barriers shimmering with runic light enveloped the camp layer upon layer. Elf Rangers hurried by, clear exhaustion and alertness etched on their faces, and even the air carried a faint scent of blood.
A Ranger Squad Leader, dressed in light armor and carrying a longbow, quickly approached and respectfully saluted Ilo: "Chief, the Captain of the Guard ordered me to guide all of you here."
However, just as he finished speaking, a suppressed and anguished howl echoed from the direction of the medical tent not far away, filled with an inhuman frenzy.
Ilo stopped his steps, looking toward where the sound had come from: "Is it an infection? Take me to see the wounded first."
