Kale smiled; he was naturally not doing all of this just for the sake of repaying the goodwill Fabio had shown him when he was helpless.
He was doing all of this because he would need all the help possible to find a way back to the Base of the Greenroot guild, crossing the tide of endless Beasts, which were probably attacking the place from multiple directions by now.
If Kale and the mercenaries did not manage to reach inside in time, they would all be dead, because every inch of the Tigerwood forest would be flooded by powerful Alpha- and Ravager-rank creatures soon enough.
Kale looked at the mercenary group members intently, now that they were all Apprentice-rank Tamers with Feral-rank powerful Beast species. They were not entirely helpless.
