"The Commander is as uncertain as you are. The situation is more troublesome than we expected."
Veyarel's voice carried across the Khaos Domain, his tone more serious than usual.
The Commander he referred to was Supreme Rivan, the Grand Marshal of the Armada, the highest-ranking authority overseeing the entire mission. Although Rivan was not as seasoned as Rosin Karat, his higher cultivation and rank placed him above the veteran Supreme in the Alliance's command structure.
Veyarel explained that the armada had encountered another massive Scourge swarm only a day earlier. The battle had forced them to divert part of their forces and slowed their advance, further complicating an already uncertain situation.
Given how dire things sounded, the Supremes commanding the armada had decided against approaching the Pardera homeworld too quickly for now.
It wasn't only the Scourge infestation that worried them.
