The Ogres were surprised.
They feared that the necromancer had some evil plan for them.
But Arin smiled, his expression was calm.
He assured them that he bore no malice nor any ill intent toward them.
Rather, he only wished to honor the decisions that would be made by the three children he had appointed as leaders of the troop.
The kids were stunned to find Arin entrusting them with such a huge responsibility.
They bowed with respect, requesting time to consult among themselves.
After talking things over, they reached their decision—they would spend the night at the village to better understand the villagers and their struggles before presenting their final idea the next morning.
Both sides—the Ogres, as well as Ragna and Arin—were taken aback by their decision.
Yet, after a moment of reflection, all of them recognized the wisdom in it and accepted it.
Still, there was something that troubled Arin.
Since last night, no notifications had appeared.
