This is not good news. The enemy's advance is unstoppable. With the fall of the pass and the defeat of Verli's army last night, the Yan people have gained control of two-thirds of the Enzos Mountain Pass.
If the pass falls, they will gain control of the high ground at Enzos. In the latter third of the journey, if the weather is good and the Yan people march at a rapid pace, they could break through Enzos in just a day and a half.
