Do you really think that the powerful ancient creature the Aquan spoke of exists?

I think it's nonsense, but lots of members of the Expedition Troop seem to believe the story.

In case the ancient creature truly does exist, it must have been roaming the earth for a long time.

Maybe it's a creature like the witch of the Rune.

The creature must have incredible powers.
When I think about it, the Balaur's investigations could serve as proof that those kinds of creatures really exist.

Especially if we consider the behaviour of the Balaur.

Whatever the case may be. We ought to get a move on.
First, you should listen to what the Scout Troop has discovered.

The Scout Troop is watching the Balaur Army's movements in this region.

Their leader is called Malleit. Go and talk to her.
If you've come all the way here, then Knut must have sent you.

We've discovered Field Wardens that have been attacked by the Beritra Army.

That means that the Balaur must have been this way too.

But it seems to me that the Balaur were in a hurry.
When an enemy is in a hurry, I think that's the perfect time for a quick foray.

Many in the area have fallen victim to the Balaur attack. Find the [plur]Bodyguard Corpse.

It will lead you to the Balaur.
(This Field Warden was turned into an Undead.)

(He looks like a bodyguard.)

(It seems as though the attack was recent.)

(If you manage to find another Field Warden Corpse quickly, you should be able to catch up to the Beritra Army soon.)
(A Balaur Corpse.)

(The attack appears to have happened not long ago.)

(It looks like something has been torn from him.)

(Maybe the Balaur Army is still nearby.)
But it's still an important piece of information. Now I can see what we have to do more clearly.

Very good work.
