Darius had partially expected this, so he didn't bother arguing. He simply walked over to the command tent with Gunner in tow. He could see various people entering and exiting the tent quickly, carrying orders to and fro.
The atmosphere was bustling and rushed, with an invisible pressure palpable, unlike the last time he had come here. Darius had an inkling of why this was the case, but he doubted the information from the frontlines could have reached here already unless he had been out for weeks.
They probably only had a bad premonition or suspicion based on Darius' own condition, so that was why Overseer Garm likely wanted to meet him, for a quick debriefing on what the hell happened.
Darius entered the tent with Gunner, only to see the Overseer seated with his deputies as they discussed many things in hushed tones. Once they all saw Darius enter, their faces changed greatly, especially Garm's.
