Toltec was indulging in thoughts about the future when a reconnaissance team emerged from the far end of the wilderness. Their war clothes were stained with blood, their faces smeared with dirt, and they looked utterly worn out from running for two days straight, bringing back an important message!
"What! A reconnaissance team has gone missing. Afterward, you discovered traces of a large enemy movement, but are unsure of the specific direction? You also suffered an attack by an enemy squad!"
The Scout Captain nodded repeatedly. Toltec then questioned him extensively before finally letting him rest.
The Mexica's Black Wolf pondered deeply. Although the scouts had not seen the enemy's flags and were unclear about the number of the enemy, his intuition told him that anyone who could deal with the scouts so neatly, march swiftly, and leave behind so few traces must be a formidable opponent. At this moment, only one army in Tarasco matched this description: the King's Legion!
