Anticipating the arrival of the Oscorians, soldiers of Aeros along with the Plethoran arms stood side by side, scattered across the puzzle wood forest.
Kyle and Kristopher stayed at the front, and behind them was Diana. One other soldier of Pletora stood next to Kyle.
The Oscorian leader was tied to a rock next to them, groaning in anguish from days of being inflicted with pain. Christopher's men naturally attempted to get information out of him, but he was as hard as a rock, unwilling to tell their reason for wanting the young master of Aeros.
It did not take long for them to hear sounds of stomping feet against the graveled soil. From the sky, one Aeros soldier reported, "There are about forty of the Oscorians!"
Christopher hissed. If their purposes were only to make the exchange, there was no need to bring with them so many of their troops. He quickly warned his men to stay alert.
