The nobles of Baron Hilfin, including Maldin, are hiding something. So, the flood of gnolls was intentionally understated in the report.
Maybe it really wasn't a big deal when the report was first posted. However, now the entire territory is in such a terrible situation that it appears to be destroyed.
Nevertheless, Hilfin's nobles even lied to Carl, the commander of the punitive force dispatched by the emperor and a member of the royal family, and tried to keep him from moving.
Why?
'It's right to run away.'
Carl thought calmly.
In order to survive, he must get out of this land right now.
Hilfin Castle is not safe either. There are attacks from gnolls, but there is no telling what tricks those insidious bastards will pull after mocking the 4th prince who received orders from the emperor.
'But I can't run away forever.'
Nevertheless, Carl must risk his life and dance with death.
