As soon as Reiji was about to return to the village, he heard silent footsteps that were getting close to the cult's direction.
Reiji focused his senses in their direction and noticed that they were not wearing the same clothes as the cult members.
'Who are these people now?'
He wanted to get information about them as well and as soon as he stealthily got closer, he heard their whispers…
"It seems that they're really the Three-Eyed Imp's Cult…"
"We have to quickly make a report… With their numbers, we wouldn't be able to repel them with just our strength."
There were three individuals silently observing the cult's action.
Reiji realized that they were probably the scouts sent by the village chief. They wore dark clothes and hid their faces as they gathered intelligence about the enemy.
