The quiet tension in the air was palpable as Logan, the leader of their tribe, cast a doubtful gaze upon Kro and the council gathered around. His voice cut through the silence with a clarity that resonated with authority, "How long has it been since we last expanded our military ranks?"
"Seventy-one days," Crowe responded promptly. His affinity for numbers and significant dates made him a reliable chronicler of their tribe's milestones, especially those as crucial as military expansions.
"Seventy-one days, barely two months," Logan mused, his tone laced with skepticism. "And in this short span, you claim to have trained nearly two thousand new soldiers? What is their competence in combat? And what of the fighting prowess of those wolf riders?" His questions hung heavy in the air, a calm yet unmistakable challenge to the council's recent decisions.
