"Not a bad harvest," Alros commented. In just a single day, he and his clones are able to kill 103 adventurers, and captured 16. The killed being males and 16 being females, of course.
This kind of disparity is something he had expected, as adventurers, while not a male oriented-profession, it is not a favourite among females, as they would need to gruel around inside dangerous territories.
Some people like it, but most, did not. In the swamp that is connected to the Dread Swamp, the number of female that become adventurers drop even further. With some controlling parents prevent their daughters from joining the Adventurer Guild.
The Kingdom even tried to limit the number of female adventurers, as the casualties to high. With more females living inside the protected area, it will help increase the population, helping to restore the number lost to the swamp.
