Just before Derek died,
In a nearby outpost, Ronald was waiting for news from the front. His position wasn't too far from where Derek and the others were. If something happened to Derek's group, he could provide immediate support.
Right now, he was in a good mood because he had just received some news. Waldo was about to fall into his ambush, and Waldo had no idea.
"Heh, Waldo, even with all your abilities, what good will it do you? You're going to die at my hands!" Ronald sneered.
However, his laughter didn't last long. Derek informed him that the two people had failed and were likely killed by Waldo. Ronald's face darkened with anger.
"It's alright, Derek. You know I trust you completely. You must handle this for me, understand? Make sure to bring me Waldo's corpse, and there will be rewards for you!" Ronald gritted his teeth.
