"Explain in detail."
The unusual intelligence report immediately caught Veltrest's attention.
Roche handed the intelligence document to his king and relayed it briefly.
"The Niflgaard people have designated that mountainous area as Mountain 13, and it's almost completely burned now. They know a major battle is imminent, so they haven't assigned much force to guard it. We've sent our people to investigate whenever there's a chance, and other kings likely have done the same."
"Analyzing the existing traces, it seems that a high-ranking Niflgaard noble perished there. The army he brought out of the camp under the guise of a temporary deployment was a mixed brigade."
"And on their corpses, apart from signs of mental collapse and mutual slaughter due to the mountain fire... there is only one type of extremely, extremely fearsome scar."
Roche emphasized the word 'extremely' twice with a heavy tone.
His facial expression was hard to define between gravity and astonishment.
