Volume 22: Revival and Rise Chapter 17: Military Strength

Dragumo had no idea that he and his army had been scrutinized by Komer and a lady like a herd of animals, simply because his Lord could not control his own lust, treating the other as beastly as he'd savaged. At that moment, he was fretting over the attrition of his two thousand soldiers. They had embarked from Bruce with a full complement of two thousand men, but by the time they arrived at the dock on Lake Nissai, twenty-six had been lost without exception, either drowned in the river or devoured by the fierce Yuaikroc that lurked in the river. The Yuaikroc was one of the fiercest magical beasts in the Nissai River, but they mostly hid in the swamps around the rivers and lakes shrouded by the forest, never merciful to invaders of their territory. And from the river harbor dock to Quke Valley, thirty-three more soldiers were lost to the battles with Gray Wolves and Ogres.
