Chapter 9 Summary: Shadows in the Mist
Sebeth Muller leads his unit through a thick, mist-covered landscape toward the 4th outpost, where something feels off from the start. When they arrive, they find the fortress eerily silent, with no sign of the usual patrols or guards. After a tense encounter, they discover the outpost's soldiers are in disarray, having mistaken Sebeth's unit for goblins, which have been terrorizing the area. Sebeth takes control, uncovering the dire situation the outpost faces. Meanwhile, a mysterious group in the Beast Glade faces a deadly ambush by ogres, only to be saved by a shadowy figure with unknown intentions.
