Karl and the team were quickly escorted to the Battalion Commander's tent, where they found a Commander Rank soldier with his secretary bent over his desk when the scout burst in unannounced. Karl stopped the team and let the scout be the only one to go inside while the tent flap swung closed, and Tessa did her best not to laugh out loud.
"Dammit, knock." The man shouted, as the secretary, who was in civilian clothing, hurriedly rearranged her skirt.
"It's a cloth door, sir. We have a report that you need to hear. A Commander led mercenary scout team took out roughly seventy Frost Giants in the zone just today. It has given us reason to believe that the deployment orders understated the severity of the threat." The scout announced in a dry tone as Karl and the team waited outside.
