In the barracks, close to Durum, General Vera had just received a report that had turned his jolly mood soured after giving it a look. "This, the timing can't be any worse." The thing he feared had happened, the sightings of Ghouls suddenly increased, and before the cleaning crew could follow them to their burrows, they were overwhelmed by what appeared to be an ambush by the ghouls, causing one death and some injuries.
A devastating news, considering the ghouls have always been treated as nothing more than a simple pest, since the invention of the anti-ghoul bullets, which were capable of killing the ghouls in a single shot.
General Vera, on the other hand, wondered if another question. 'Do they suffer from the same issue?' His eyes turned for the traces of ghouls on the map, to the land of Yethel, where besides a few outposts, everything was dark. They didn't know if their neighbors as well as enemies were facing the same problem or not.
