Soldrin, who went to investigate the North, has returned with intelligence—using hidden relay devices set along the riverbank en route, the Steel Cavalry Vanguard Squadron maintained communications with the southern borders through the Magic Web. With convenient remote communication support, Gawain was the first to learn about the "Crystal Cluster Monsters" encountered by the High-Ranked Ranger.
To be honest, he wished this report would never reach him.
"...We encountered those monsters in the area of the Doran Hills to the northeast of the Pompeii Domain... They appear to be human forms fused with flesh and crystals, but stronger and larger than humans. They seem to have a strong physical constitution and certain spell-casting abilities, but their exact combat strength remains unclear—for now, we only know that Burners are very effective against them.
