Around him, the rest of us gathered, looming over his prone form like silent executioners. No escape. No chance of reinforcements.
It didn't take long for him to break. Not long at all. In fact, it didn't even take more than three seconds.
The lionkin warrior let out a heavy sigh as his body relaxed in reluctant defeat.
"I choose the easy way…" he muttered with a hoarse voice, thanks to the knowledge that he wasn't long for this world.
Darius crouched, resting his thick forearms on his knees as he gave the lionkin a measured look. "Then start talking. What's going on in Emberfang?"
The captive swallowed hard before replying, "Leohtar Sunfang ordered us to fortify our position… but because of the attacks from the bearkin, tigerkin, wolfkin, and foxkin invasions further north, a lot of our war beasts had to be relocated. We still have some left, but we had to send many away to reinforce the border up north."
