Capítulo 578: Fallout

( Dark Faction - The mercenary kings camp ) 

In the grand war tent situated in the heart of the mercenaries' camp, a sombre air hung heavy. The usual bustle of activity was replaced by a tense silence, only punctuated by the crackle of the fire at the centre of the tent. War maps, meticulously marked, were strewn across the large oak table in the centre, but nobody paid them any heed. Their attention was riveted on a single scroll, the contents of which had just been read aloud.

The scout's voice trembled slightly as he read, "War God Matumba has fallen in the battle against the Twilight and Bloodfall clans. His legion has been routed and his body that was burnt to a crisp has been given a proper burial with all honours as per the mercenary code. The fatal blow in his final fight was dealt by...Lord Ravan of Bloodfall Clan." His voice echoed ominously around the room, settling heavy on the hearts of those present.
