Not long afterward,
Nefi obtained some intelligence.
These men were scouts sent by Waliwak County, the county closest to the Sighing Wall mountain range.
They had received orders from their superiors
to infiltrate the forest and monitor this "shortcut," preventing the enemy from making use of it.

Upon receiving the intelligence sent by its spies, it immediately began making arrangements.
Furthermore,
the Waliwak County scouts consisted of more than just this one team.
There were at least ten teams
scattered throughout the forest.
Moreover, there was no contact whatsoever between the teams.
Therefore, they had no way of knowing where the other teams were.
Only the commander knew the locations of these teams.
Finally,
these teams sent messages every day.
If they failed to send one, the commander would know that something had happened to them.

It was none other than Justice Audrey.
However, this was merely one of her Time Projections.
Before using the Red Priest projection, in order to avoid wasting them,
apart from retaining 500,000 total subscriptions,

Just like now.
After this Dream Weaver appeared,
she hypnotized several captives,
making them send messages as usual
and forget the experience of being captured.
As for their injuries,
the Dream Weaver arranged a reason that was not perfect, but
