In total there were ten armed and at the ready dwarven guards spaced out behind and to the sides of the king of the middle and Walker. Midnight had taken the chance to walk slightly behind and examine the ten dwarven golems that were walking with them. She had an insatiable curiosity since she knew they were created from metal and mana, but couldn't figure out how they worked. It perplexed her, especially since she could not eat it.
The area was fairly quiet and clear. The only signs that anything had happened on the roads that the king and Walker traveled were small bits of slime bodies and melted golem parts. "This is the path I took in the last attempt. My golems were overpowered and I was forced to retreat. This time I expect it to be different. We have more golems and more guards. Not to mention a dragon and hero."
