The number of half elf half demons was not too great while the group snuck through the grasses on their stomach. Gil had originally thought kneeling down and crouching would be enough. But with Neil and Leon's height, they need to be flat. It also gave them a better chance of making it to the water.
While they snuck through the grass Walker was able to make out the things that were being built. He could see the looks of forge materials and tools being set up. There were also training dummies and magical staffs being prepared. All of this was obviously for battle. What was even more dastardly was the fact that some of the half elf half demons looked malnourished. They were all being forced to work with the smallest amount of food possible. Not only were they unable to think for themselves, they were being tortured in such a way.
