"We just received word that several outposts near us have fallen," Nara Yijiu explained.
Everyone was shocked to hear it.
The nearby outposts exchanged intelligence every day to keep one another informed. More importantly, this allowed them to provide timely support if the Rock Ninja launched a surprise attack.
Yet just yesterday, everything had been normal at the other outposts, aside from a few minor skirmishes.
