Vex'ahlia's black eyes narrowed. "Three thousand five hundred? That's five hundred more than Lord Satou's initial intelligence suggested."
"The numbers have grown," Ssk'thar confirmed. "Additional kingdoms are contributing forces. The humans want overwhelming superiority to ensure victory."
"What about the four summoned heroes?" Grimnir asked. "Are they still the primary threat?"
"Yes," Satou said. "TheReaper's warning indicated four heroes leading the assault. Their abilities remain our greatest concern—Gattychan with Villain's Bane and Adaptive Evolution, Seraphelle with divine healing and buffs, Mikazelle with spatial control, Rindelle with catastrophic amplification."
Vex'ahlia pulled out a tactical notepad, already taking notes. "Countering overpowered hero abilities requires specialized approaches. My forces include mage-killers specifically trained to disrupt spellcasters and neutralize enhanced abilities. We can deploy them against the heroes."
