"You can't forget the territories beyond, master. The more we expand, the more neighboring territories we'll have and we run the risk of being surrounded if we expand in just one direction." Astrus spoke.
"Furthermore, it is inefficient for an army as large as ours to move as one. I believe that after we destroy the hydra's territory, we should separate to move efficiently." With those words, all eyes moved towards Astrus, but he stood firm in his decision and didn't give in to the pressure.
"I... agree with him. There is a size limit to shared curse barriers and it's difficult to command such a large army. The only reason we are able to organize such a large army is thanks to the mind link and the skeletons that obey our orders without hesitation." Athos agreed with Astrus' opinion, making the skeletons curse internally.
