Cain stared at the men standing before him with a rather serious, yet distant expression on his face. He was deep in thought...
'Two hundred and thirty of them, huh...'
Standing beside him were Jenny and Susan. Hunter was also standing there. However, he had his back to Cain as he addressed the crowd of beastmen.
With a grim look on his face, he finished with a heavy sigh,
"So that's it. Although our chances are slim, we do have hope. As long as we can target a single point in the encirclement and break it open, it's a straight road home..."
The men looked hopeful. However, they still understood they were not yet in the clear. Jutè, one of the wolfmen that had carried Cain into the cave spoke up, his droopy ears indicating his sullen mood,
"Hunter, we all have no reason to doubt you after all the sacrifices you have made for us. However, if what he says is true, then these weapons and armor will truly not be up to standard for the coming battle."
