Lugues was about to send the next wave of troops, but the report from the advance team left him speechless.
"Only a 10% advancement during this time?!"
"Yes, sir."
It had been a month since Brian had been deployed. Lugues expected that they would have advanced at least 30% more by now—after all, Biorn had conquered 20% in just ten days. Yet, after an entire month, only 10% more progress had been made.
"I thought all that talk of hell was just whining…"
It wasn't a joke—they really hadn't been able to push forward. It was so unbelievable he was momentarily lost for words.
"Damn it. So, what's the situation inside the dungeon?"
"Honestly, it's not good. There's considerable unrest among the soldiers assigned to the raid."
"What? Why? I promised them substantial rewards upon completion!"
