"Report," Dean said sharply as the three figures materialized before him.
The woman, seated on the right side, spoke up first, her voice carrying a hint of urgency. "The number of men guarding the walls is alarmingly high, but there appears to be a small area with lax security."
The young voice from the middle figure chimed in, revealing his inexperience. "The courtyard is heavily guarded. I couldn't infiltrate due to magical detection devices placed on every door and window."
The seasoned figure on the left, his voice weathered and rugged, added, "I sensed the presence of multiple powerful entities within the castle. Their movements are abnormal. Moreover, there are several carriages parked outside, bearing emblems different from Shegar's."
Dean turned to the man, disappointment evident in his eyes. "Did you manage to identify any of them?" The man shook his head, implying he couldn't recognize any familiar faces.
