While Ace, Sampson, and Noah designed the ambush plan, Mars, and Aria were coming in.
Mars then asked about the situation. Ace then explained everything that Jordan had reported. He then showed the latter that was written by Jordan himself. The shadow currently wasn't in the town. But he was still in the Iron Gate Fortress.
He had brought 2 shadow stalkers with him when he went to Iron Gate Fortress. Based on the explanation of the shadow stalker that brought the letter, Jordan was still there to make sure there wasn't any change in the undead's plan. He would send the remaining shadow stalker back to report if he got new information. However, to anticipate if Ace and the rest decided to launch an attack on the ghoul lord, he would send the shadow stalker to the outpost on the northern border of Misty Forest.
