The clatter of hooves and metal tore through the night's tranquility.
A group of fully armed cavalrymen galloped from the other end of the street, relentlessly advancing toward the inn ahead!
They were all Half-Beast Warriors without exception, mounted on tall horses with helmets adorned with two black feathers, their silver armor emitting a faint chill under the moonlight.
Yet the people inside the inn seemed unaware that danger was about to descend, with no guards or people in charge of keeping watch outside, the main door merely ajar, and complete darkness upstairs.
It seemed as though all the guests inside had already fallen into a deep sleep.
However, just as the cavalry was about to charge up to the inn's main door, the windows on the second floor suddenly swung open, revealing a row of hand crossbows aimed at the approaching horsemen.
Moreover, soon strange little red dots appeared on the exposed skin of these horsemen.
