~ HARTH ~
"…most of the guards are still out monitoring the Chimera. Now that we've established the boundaries of the territory they've claimed, we've kept them as distant as we can."
Harth bristled at the description of her people being watched, but Tarkyn only tightened his grip, sending feelings of calm and reassurance as Elreth continued to speak.
"As far as we know, they're all too far away to be keeping communication with any that are here. But that physical distance doesn't only work against them. It works against us as well. We're sending runners every three hours. But I find it frustrating, Tarkyn. There are too many bodies consumed with the enemy leaving too many gaps in our own defenses. Too many holes in our view. Too many potential hazards. I need your eye on this—and I need your willingness to follow it to its conclusion, whatever that might be."
