Chapter 81: Watchdog of Humanity (7)ΟΟΟ
It became night. Clouds blocked the moonlight.
The siege entered a temporary lull period. Despite this, we didn’t leave the monsters alone.
⎯Kruuuuu, gruuu.
⎯Grarara.
Orcs and goblins got into a rhythm as they sang a war song. It was different from the song that was sung by the goblin tribes I had utilized when I annihilated the E-rank adventurer party. Instruments like bugles were used here. The sound of bugles echoed drearily throughout the night sky. Thump, thump, thump, the monsters slowly moved their feet.
We didn’t light any torches around us. Our surroundings were completely dark. From the perspective of the humans on top of the fortress walls, it must feel like the singing of monsters was crawling towards them under the shadow of the night. The enemy commander must think that we’re aiming to lower their morale.
“Your Excellency, the rear unit led by Balam has arrived.”
“Did the humans notice?”
Zepar asked in an amused tone. Despite his tone, the fact that he still sounded dignified made it hard to make light of his years of experience.
