This was exactly what she feared.
Sophie had some undead, enough to fend off the Silverbeard Clan's attack. Alex needed to first understand the situation with the Hobgoblins from Chi-Chi.
[Hamburger]: "Have the Hobgoblins discovered your castle?"
[King Kong]: "No, I observed them in the swamp. There's one that looks like a mage, and it can fly. It's leading a group of Hobgoblins towards the snowy mountain."
Alex breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they hadn't been discovered, Chi-Chi was safe for now. The flying mage-like Hobgoblin was likely a Hobgoblin Shaman.
But Alex remembered that the Hobgoblin Shaman she had killed before couldn't fly.
Wait, could this Hobgoblin be Monarch level?!
Alex felt she might be right.
But what puzzled her was why the Hobgoblins were heading to the snowy mountain. What were they all after?
Despite her curiosity, the immediate priority was to fend off the Silverbeard Clan's attack.
