Chapter 227 - Frenzy

The darkness of the night enveloped the small village like a cloak, hiding the frenzied activity taking place within its walls. Chloe and I were resting in a tent on the edge of the village, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I had slept first, knowing that if the villagers were to attack, they would take their time to plan and strategize, waiting until the dead of night to strike. So, I had told Chloe to wake me up at midnight, and then I allowed her to rest while I took a few of my combat minions and an Intelligence variant with me to the crack on the other side of the village.
