As Dog inched closer and closer toward the wall, the sound of clashing blades and the ferocious yells and wounded screams of men in battle became louder and louder.
Then, the mana signature behind the wall surged, and the combat stopped.
Dog had a reputation for brutality and ferocity amongst his comrades, but nevertheless he was filled with concern for his comrades who were likely fighting within the gatehouse.
Now right up against the wall next to the door, he inched his head around the corner and peeked within.
The sight he saw within froze his blood cold.
The guardroom was completely destroyed, the table splintered and the crates and barrels broken and leaking their contents all over the room.
But this wasn't the reason that Dog had frozen, no, one man stood within the guardroom, surrounded by the dead.
