I kept running down the tunnel that left the Royal City. Several goblin citizens surrounded the dead soldiers, checking them for any wounds and trying to figure out what had happened.
I ignored them and kept moving. By the time I made my way through the hot springs, I finally realized I still had the goblin sword in my hand. Well, it was time to use it. My future was at stake. Silvy, Tressi, and Zia were going to be tortured if I failed.
When I reached the tunnel that led out of the city, I turned and continued running. I ran halfway down the hallway before I came across a guard.
"I hear you!" he shouted, his eyes scanning the dimly lit tunnel for me.
Since I was still running, I used my momentum and put it all into a double-handed swing, right at the soldier's neck. His head toppled to the ground. I barely even slowed.
