"Small creatures that go on swarm like miasmic bugs are usually used as spies," Kei said while they went through the newly opened path. She spoke for the recording, but Dheera and Leehan also perked their ears to listen. "They should have come due to us opening the path with such a flashy move."
Zein chuckled. He had no idea if this scout was doing a narrative or dissing her squad mates. Perhaps both. And the ones doing that flashy move were snorting at the front at her commentary.
"But, Ma'am, wouldn't that move also attract other beasts around here, not just the spies?" Dheera, the ever-curious girl, asked.
"That's essentially the plan," Kei replied with a smile. "Better baiting them out now than spending the rest of the journey feeling tense waiting for ambushes."
"Ooh..." Dheera nodded repeatedly.
"And that means you'll have to work hard," Zein patted her head.
"Oh..."
