The biggest problem of the death god mercenary group was that they didn’t have enough manpower.
There were only a hundred people in total. It was already good enough to win a battle. They could only guard the captives and supplies. They didn’t even have enough manpower to clean up the battlefield. Now, they had to send people to do scouting.
Scouting and alerting was a big deal. Moreover, the scope of the alerting had to be further away. Otherwise, even if they found something, they wouldn’t have enough time to react.
In order to arrange the reconnaissance mission as quickly as possible, the Grim Reaper regiment commander had to send out all the personnel guarding the vehicles in the mountainous area.
This was because the combatants on this side had to walk back from the mountainous area in order to return to the previous parking spot. Even if they were to run forward with light equipment, it would still take about half an hour.
