The silent midnight drew near.
Monsters now roamed around more freely, looming over the night as they were meant to.
From the top of the mountain, one could see Martin, setting camp along with Elizabeth.
Their children were still in the forest, fighting.
If any of them should die, the soldiers hidden within the trees would raise the alert.
Since there had been none, it was safe to assume none of his children had been killed.
A battle of time.
…
Meanwhile…
"A fight happened here."
Sylus stood at a spot; all around him were corpses of soldiers, brutally murdered on the ground.
He knew his father had arranged soldiers around to keep an eye on whatever took place in the forest.
To think he would run into them while they were lifeless.
"My lord, we shouldn't stay here for very long. The monster that did this might still be around here. A battle should be the last thing you do right now."
Zani was correct.
