"Gentlemen and ladies, I have news. There will be no fight against the hippos today. They have a herd wide unified water barrier, so unless we can overcome a thousand of them at once, we won't be able to even get through it to harm them.
However, they no longer appear to be a major threat.
They tore up hundreds of square kilometres of grassland looking for water, but now that they're at the river, their innate magic is making the plants grow back faster than they're being eaten.
As long as they don't get it in their heads to start attacking at random, they shouldn't be a major threat.
However, I would write this territory off as theirs.
It doesn't look heavily populated, and I don't see any signs of nearby cities, but someone should warn the King that they're here, and they're not easily injured."
"Like Lightning Cerro?" One of the dragons asked.
"If they could combine their lightning barriers into one huge barrier, yes."
