The sheer amount of time needed to train the goblins into a disciplined military force was enough to rule Lady Aeliana out of being the Fallen Witch.
Furthermore, Vaan had not heard about an Abomination recovering their intelligence after turning. Not a single one.
'Lady Aeliana isn't the Fallen Witch, but she is very likely to be somewhere inside that rock mountain lair. The Fallen Witch is using her antimagic spores to collect mana for her research…'
Vaan quickly understood the situation.
Shortly after, he moved toward the goblin city for a closer look.
After spending some time investigating the perimeters of the goblin city quietly, he found less than forty enhanced goblins on patrol.
The number was far too small for a city that could accommodate several ten thousand goblins. Even the field cages had slightly more goblin patrols.
Nevertheless, while they guarded the vicinity of the rock mountain lair, it wouldn't be easy for him to sneak past them.
