Waking To Dragons And Elves 24 Locked In

The guards keep yelling that no one is allowed out and everyone is to remain calm. As the quant.i.ties of smoke increase tenfold at irregular intervals across the northern wall. a.s.suming we are under attack, I first check everyone is around and that no one has stolen any of the valuable goods I couldn't stuff into the bag I bought. Even my hidden money storage is safe, allowing me to pay a bit more attention at the smoke.

A thick black smoke rising higher and higher, the still winds making it seem like dark tendrils reaching to grasp the heavens. Screams echoing through the town as people are hurt beyond my eyesight. Faint sounds of metal clas.h.i.+ng together along with monstrous roars can be heard faintly.

Being unused to beasts attacking the city, I start panicking. Asking the nearby party members about the event, I start tying down things I don't think are attached enough to the cart should we need to flee quicker. Even though the party members seem to be used to the event, I don't stop myself from ordering them to stay alert.

I'm not cowardly, I just prefer to live, so I keep telling the member in charge of driving to be ready to save my items. I get a few looks from the nearby people as most just head to their houses to stay safe.

A few bangs get louder as the minutes tick by, the smoke pillars increasing in numbers. The sounds getting louder here and there as the amount of people running around increases. My tension rises as the guards standing nearby start forming into ranks as if there might be an actually threat.

The guards suddenly take off with a command someone barks at them, as they head towards the closest smoke pillar.

The smoke so thick that the light is starting to be slightly obscured between the wall and the smoke causing the surrounding area to slowly lose visibility. A few louder screams as the smoke draws closer, the b.e.s.t.i.a.l roars increasing in frequently along with the screams.

The first sight I get is a group of ugly faces running from behind a house, crude spears in their hands as they brandish them at every pedestrian they pa.s.s. They dash to and fro the houses they pa.s.s jumping around for each person they kill, tearing everything that isn't fixed to a surface and hurling it at anything that moves.

In that moment, due to the clearing we are stood in, a group of about 30 of them, lock eyes with our group before screaming and charging towards us. Their blood red eyes and near broken spears all pointed in our direction.

The first line of defence are the s.h.i.+eldmen on Gavins team who group together well and are supported by the spears from the others behind, I attempt to join in as I know spears are a bit easier to handle than other weapons since they can just be used for stabbing.

After a few tries I manage to get in a few hits, before realising the creatures have started to attack the two people on the outside of the group, I brandish my knife as I charge to support the right side, as I hunt down the creatures trying to lessen the burden on my defenders.

I square up to the enemies as they keep swinging at me, I have to pay a lot of attention so I don't walk away from the formation, but we eventually get a foothold.
