With half their forces, Damian, Mira, and seven other captains, along with their units, ventured into the valley to keep the escape route open as the other half evacuated civilians from villages scattered across the valley and kept watch on the river entrance. Even though they were breaking their way through the river cave, they still continued to send monsters at continued intervals.
Damian could already sense the advancing army as he moved further into the forest surrounding the valley, though they were still beyond his attack range. He gestured for the enemy spotted and approximate distance which was transferred from his vice captains to all around him, getting the message as fast as possible to all 7 captains.
