What was the whole point of coming here if they wouldn't even fight with the black mage?
"You're joking right, Lei Zhen?" Griselda asked in a dazed tone.
"You must be joking for sure. How can you possibly ask to return back after gaining such valuable information?"
"I'm not joking. At the current moment, we still don't know the power level of the black mage, but I'm sure he is one tough opponent." Lei Zhen shook his head and calmly explained his reasoning.
The terrain and environment of the swamp were something they weren't used to. Hence, treading forward without a plan would be suicidal.
Besides, it's not like he was canceling the mission, but assigning the professionals to do the scouting work properly.
