บท 498: Troubling Guests (Part 2)

Contrary to Lith's expectations, the following day the wargs didn't attack the city and during the night no one died. Yet it didn't make him feel happy, it only made his worries increase.

'So much self-control can only mean one of two things. Either they are waiting to increase their numbers before they resume attacking, or losing two warriors in a single day made them scared.' Lith thought.

'In their shoes, I'd regroup and pick an easier target. Since I'm in my shoes I need to find them as soon as possible either way. If the pack becomes too big and they all learn true magic, I'll need backup.

'If they change targets, it will just be the same situation in a different location, since I'm in charge of the whole damn region.'

Lith was no Jirni, but after spending so much time together in Othre, he had more an idea of how to conduct his investigation. Tracking the wargs' accomplices within Maekosh was just a waste of time.
