A few more days passed in the base, and then Zaos finally began to receive some messages from the scouts sectioned by Melisse. She was actually the first messenger. Since she was a lieutenant, she returned before her disappearance could cause problems.
"We didn't notice any big movement from the enemies yet," Melisse said. "They are sending some ravens on a regular basis to their home country, but they aren't leaving the town yet. However, they increased the number of guards in the walls."
"Is that so…" Zaos said while he studied the map that he had drawn himself. "Can our scouts notice if the enemy scouts are around here or if they keeping an eye in the other towns and villages between here and their base?"
"We can find some, but it shouldn't be many," Melisse said. "The scouts are watching all the entrances of that town, and we didn't notice any weird movements at night."
