Gwen received Broken's command and, without hesitation, she set off to investigate the forest nearby. Upon returning, she reported that there were about a dozen bandits scattered throughout the area, all of them seemingly prepared to attack on a moment's notice. Additionally, they were all equipped with long-range weapons, giving them the capability to launch a well-organized assault if necessary.
Broken was unable to run away from them as they would surely chase after him and end up in a battle. There seemed to be no other alternative than to confront them all at once.
