His face was pale, and his trembling voice carried a hint of fear, stammering as he shouted.
"Captain! Over by the forest!"
"What's going on over by the forest?" Lumier quickly stepped up to him, clasping his shoulders with both hands.

"Lizard... so many, lizards with spears! There might be over a hundred of them..."

Only to see at the edge of the dense jungle not far away, one by one, emerald green heads were emerging from the shadows of the forest.
They were burly, with fierce eyes, their mouth corners dripping with what seemed like saliva or fresh blood, and the exposed dark green scales gleamed with a chilling sheen under the sunlight, like wolves eyeing their prey.
