"Wait, three scouts returned?" Walker knew that they had just started moving down the stairs, but the fact that three scouts had come within just a few minutes of one another was a bad sign. Especially since the army was just starting to descend.
"The first scout said that they had undead right at the bottom of the stairs. That means a fight. The second said that there were many empty stone coffins around and they were being moved. The third said that the scouts are about to enter the largest building where the most undead are moving in and out. They wanted to let everyone know that they would have to enter there for them in battle."
Gil had been the one to speak with the scouts. It was easy to see that Mordant was preparing mentally for a real battle. The undead that the royal dragons had faced were nothing in comparison to what they could do. The fact that this space below them was the real ruined city proved that they would be able to take a more popper form.
