It Really Went Wrong

It was only after asking did Qin Ruo discover that something dire was going on at Devil's Swamp!

The Citadel group's attempted raid had been discovered by another Clan that was coincidentally doing a quest at Devil's Swamp so the party of over two hundred people was being quietly stalked.

After the Overlord Gargantuan Demoncroc was found, a small team from the Clan suddenly launched an attack, ambushing this makeshift party that did not have any Clan supporting them.

This had caused the Citadel group to be open for attacks, which disrupted their plan. The Gargantuan Demoncroc then launched a counterattack with hundreds of Tier 3 and Tier 4 Devilcrocs, which killed more than half the party.
