Chapter 146

Maxi's face fell. Her blood ran cold as though she had been doused with freezing water.

Trolls were monsters with bull-like proportions, possessed of frightening regenerative powers that allowed them to reattach their nearly-severed heads. And yet, Riftan had fought a thousand of them with an army but a fifth of their number. What in the world was he doing?

Instead of feeling relieved by Selina's words, Maxi felt her heart spasm. She tentatively opened her mouth. "A-And the casualties?"

"Don't worry. They say that none of the Remdragon Knights were killed during the battle."

Maxi's relief was short-lived as Selina added hesitantly, "But… I'm told that some were wounded."

"D-Do you know who? How many were… Are they seriously wounded?"

"That, I'm afraid, I do not know. The men only told me that some of the Remdragon Knights had been gravely injured and that they stopped advancing after the battle to treat the wounded."
