New Beginnings

On top of a mountain of ruins, a single person stood. With arms crossed below his chest as he waited for his attendant to come. Someone who just arrived at that moment.

"My lord, the whole battlefield has been set." The soldier said, making a half kneel to show respect.

"Did they successfully map the entirety of the area?"

"Yes. There are a hundred goblins in total. Fifty ogres. Twenty direwolves. A bunch of Lesser rock basilisks. Plus twenty carnivorous vultures."

"That's actually a lot." The commanding officer said, looking at the virtual map opened before him. With all the red dots indicating where the monsters were located.

"Our problem are the ogres. They're blocking the main passageway."

"I see." Was the short response of the commanding officer. Making his attendant worry as this person asked:

"Do we back off my lord?"
