Strange. The two of them have yet to return.

They've sent no word back, either. They may have been ambushed by Imperial stragglers.

Your Majesty, I bear troubling news from one of our scouting units.

A squadron of mages has been spotted laying an ambush in the forest ahead. They surely hope to obstruct our march.

I can only assume they're what's left of the ones we faced in Ailell.

It's difficult to say. But given the situation, there's a high probability the search party we sent out to find the emperor has been attacked.
linkDeduevolume_up
No... We must hurry, Your Majesty.

Not only that, but it appears as though the commander's the one who instigated it!
