Chapter 219: Attack From Kim’s Army
The night sky was slightly overcast, so it wasn't like there was much light to begin with, so it wasn't like whatever had caused the incredibly loud noise, was able to be seen. Most who were awake at the time and outside the tents clearly didn't even know where the sound had come from, but as Jonas dashed through the camp, he had a feelng he had an idea of what had caused it.
He couldn't be certain really, not at the moment, but he couldn't think of anything else that could have caused it at the oment. Which would be the wings of the dragon.
Now, while the dragon may not have actually intended on doing that, Jonas also couldn't think about why the dragon would have flown down this close to the camp. Especially since Aquis had remarked about not wanting to do something that took more effort than it considered worth the potential reward.
Jonas understood the risk vs. reward mentality, some of his decisions in his life had hinged on that. Yet, he also couldn't think what the dragon could have benefitted by coming down here at all. Not unless he wanted to get a closer look without really freaking out the people in the camp.
When Jonas reached the edge of the camp, he looked up towards the slope that he and the others of his group had spoke with Aquis earlier. He couldn't say if Aquis was up there or not, but he didn't know that he had stayed up there up to this point if he currently was there.
While Jonas was confident that hed be able to see Aquis if he entered the shadows, he didn't see what he'd gain at the moment if he did that. It wasn't like he had any reason to suspect the dragon was actively trying to harm them at the moment.
Still, he couldn't help but feel like there was something he was missing that he should have noticed somehow. Like it should be staring at him in the face or whatever that phrase is. Like an itch he just couldn't quite locate, no matter how much he scratched the area he felt it at.
As Jonas turned away to see if anyone else had noticed anything, one of the soldiers of Kim's army lunged at him, looking like it was trying to swing something at him.
Jonas quickly dodged away and put some distance between him and whoever had attacked him. All Jonas could tell about the person was that they were part of Kim's army. The man had on a breastplate that had been acquired from the dead orcs, though Jonas could tell that it wasn't securely put on and what the man had swung at him was a helmet from the orcs as well and from the direction the helmet had been positioned, the soldier had tried essentially forcefully putting it on Jonas.
