Nine days remained until the end of the dungeon protection period. Balak currently faced three major problems. The first was the fortress in the arid plains, which he had acquired after driving out the orcs. Initially, he had planned to station a few soldiers there as an outpost, but the recent raid had cost him dearly. He had replenished his forces, but it was far from enough. I’m too low on Zen to make any major changes right now, but I have to prepare for future attacks.
