Her Majestic Battle Cry

Two on the east, one to the west, and another to the south. The northern entrance, near Stone Village, had no tunnel at all.

Which meant the only way in was through the northern path, where there were no tunnels.

“These villages all have tunnels. There are 13 villages in total. Take a good look and memorize them quickly. We’ll split into teams to guard the four exits while we wait for them. As for the villages, we’ll send others to investigate.”
