Chapter 156 The 12th Garrison

“The 12th Garrison?” Adam asked, his expression one of deep thought, “How were

you alerted to the convoy’s demise?”

“Generally we track the progress from the 11th garrison at the receiving end through

the Ravine with spotters from our garrison. We hadn’t heard from the spotters for

explained calmly, “They were about to leave when a group of Aurochs, that we know

are used for transport there, entered the bottom of the valley in a panicked state.”

checking for any trace of dishonesty.

“As soon as the lookout at the Garrison reported it, we mobilized a force to intercept

and conduct reconnaissance in the area. We knew that it meant nothing good as there

was no trace of the guards or the convoy that they were supposed to be attached to,

so support was requested from the 11th Garrison as well.”

“Did they call the wyverns in to help?” Bartholomew asked quickly, his brows creased

in concern.

“Yes, Sir. Although they couldn’t proceed too far in the air into the ravine because of

the winds, they swept the area closest to them. We a*s*sumed that at least one side

would be able to recapture any escapees or a*s*sist in bringing things back under

control but…” Greyson trailed off and licked his lips, a haunted look in his eyes as he
