Day 4,542

The scouts' reports were peculiar.

They went fifty miles deep into the Untamed Lands, but found no sign of what remains of the monster horde. No dens. No nests. It's as if they never went in that direction at all.

There are two possibilities for this: one, they are hiding in hidden caves and underground lairs, which would make our mission even more dangerous. An ambush is a possible scenario, one which we may survive.

The second is plausible as well: they possess greater speed than normal. This I know to be true. Their sudden attack is already a solid evidence.

If this is the case, we will need to head deep. Deeper than we have gone before. It will be dangerous, but we have no choice. We must find the leader. We must know why the monsters are getting larger and smarter.
