A Crab Soldier Commander swam in from outside the palace and knelt before a curtain made of fist-sized ivory pearls, reporting.

"Water Dragon King, the two thousand troops we sent out earlier to investigate the 'Gate' have been completely wiped out."

The owner of this voice seemed more concerned about the failure to guard the gateway than the lives of the two thousand troops.
