"How did those necromancers infiltrate the city? Is there a traitor within the City Defense Army?"
"It's hard to say."
Then, in a lower voice, someone asked, "How bad was the loss last night? The Prince is alright, isn't he?"
"Do you even have to ask? If there had been a problem, they would have searched the whole city by now, and war might have broken out already."
"Damn necromancers."
"May the Divine Spirits bless the Prince!"
The tavern's patrons gradually increased, and the table next to Wu Heng was slowly filled with customers.
Most conversations at each table were related to last night's events.
Despite everyone trying to keep their voices low, Wu Heng could still clearly hear them.
It was pretty certain that a battle had indeed occurred within the city.
Some people even saw the gathering of troops and smoke billowing from the Prince's Mansion.
These weren't deceptive rumors.
But why... was it proclaimed on Lundham City's behalf?
