[Ellie's P.O.V]
The dwarf, frightened, hastily said, "I'll tell you, I really will. They ran that way, a man and a woman. One of them is his father, and it seems he got injured during the escape. We were just ambushing here, seeking revenge on you. But they told us that you would come here, so they let us wait here, and they escaped."
The dwarf quickly revealed all the information, confirming Karina's intuition. In the past, the dwarf had betrayed Panse, making it impossible for Panse to find dwarf assistance within a few hours. Presumably, after we released the dwarf the last time, he immediately went back and gathered his people to ambush us here. Since we rarely left the city, we hadn't encountered them until today.
Today, Anna and Panse happened to flee, and the dwarven race was manipulated by the two of them. It wasn't just about seeking revenge for personal grudges; they were being used as tools.
