"What problem?" Gravis asked.
"As we've expected, this is a horde, and they are here to assault the land," Orthar explained. "The problem I'm referring to is the fact that we are now also part of the horde."
Gravis narrowed his eyes. "I don't remember joining," he said.
"That's the problem," Orthar said, "none of them joined voluntarily. Apparently, a chieftain of a larger group is staying here, forcing every passing Spirit Beast to join her cause, which is to attack the land. If any beast tries to leave the area, they will be attacked by him."
Gravis' eyes shone a bit. "And I'm guessing that she is at the Unity Rank. Otherwise, I doubt that she would be able to keep all these Spirit Beasts under control."
"The beasts don't know the specific strength of the chieftain, but she's more powerful than them by far," Orthar said. "So, what do you plan on doing?"
