Vale waited for more bad news to flood, but for some reason, the messages stopped at five.
Vale cracked his whip again as he screamed with no direction:
"5 Invaders!"
As Vale screamed a message they should all understand, having been briefed before, one of the Vana Vilkas who was chasing Awilix paused, looked up at Vale, and then launched a bone it had pulled out from its fur.
Vale was forced to abandon his post.
Thankfully, he didn't go to the ground and was able to make it to another ledge they'd prepared, but he was now entirely out of range of Salome, who was still out of his sight, shrouded by the wolven horde.
But that horde was definitely dwindling…
All he could do was trust Salome would not only win, but had heard him as well. As for his new guests…
'What is their angle?'
Because they sent five, Vale could only assume one thing…
'They noticed the wolves and wanted to investigate what was happening.'
So, the chameleons sent an advance party to scope it out.
