The Shadow Serpents' leaders reluctantly nodded in agreement with their head's assessment. The atmosphere was filled with a mix of frustration and determination as they realized the gravity of the situation. They could not afford to underestimate their new adversary.
"What about the lords, have they … said anything?" One of the leaders asked while the man at the head of the table sighed.
"They will not be helping us, this is a mission given to us to complete by ourselves, no help will be given, no matter what happens."
"Even if more of us die?" Another leader asked, his face showing slight frustration.
"We have all been turned by the lords, compared to the others in our faction, we are of course much more valuable to them, if any of us were to fall in battle, they would definitely do something about it, but it is up to us to make sure we do not die."
