Nana watched closely as King Griswald dismounted his horse, a look of determined focus on his face. One of his Royal Guards approached at a quick pace, saluting before delivering his report. "Sir, all of the injured have successfully formed the defensive barrier.
Additionally, we have selected the 12 fighters for the spearhead operation," he announced.
King Griswald's nod was firm and decisive. "Good. We should be able to reach the cave's entrance within 15 or 20 minutes if we execute our strategy smartly," he said, turning to the guard. "Who are the men and women included in this push?"
The Royal Guard, holding a scroll that seemed to have been written in haste, responded, "Due to severe injuries among some of our fighters, we've selected those with the best combat capabilities who won't slow down the group."
Nana strained to hear as he began to list the members of Team 1. She knew that the composition of this team was critical to their mission's success.
