Chapter 161: The Easy Way Or The Hard way
DAHLIA POV
There was a certain stillness in the air, the kind that comes right before total destruction engulfs everything. The silence instead of bring comfort brought nothing but tension, it felt like the whole mountain was holding its breath and I could tell that it wasn’t just me that was feeling it. The attacks had stopped for a few minutes which could only mean one thing only.
They were here!
The giant oak doors suddenly slammed open. A few scared whimpers went around but one look from me was enough to shut them all up. I turned around and peeked behind the huge statue of Naktus head where we were all hiding. The perfect hiding spot and also just a place to seek divine intervention if the goddess was so kind to offer one to us.
From this position, I could get a perfect view of the whole place and I saw a man step in along with a couple others. I was right, they had underestimated us. The draumheimiers were few in numbers, from where I was hiding, I could at least count like fifty of them. But just because they were few in numbers doesn’t mean they weren’t dangerous.
If anything the low numbers just made it worse because that meant that they were feeling a little too confident.
The draumheimiers did not require numbers to destroy an empire. Every single one of them posed a weapon that practiced in darkness while learning the art of warfare, Each of the warrior possessed more power than what their current numbers indicated because they were nothing but human manifestations of dark nightmares.
"They are not much, we can take on them!" One of the women said holding on her spear tightly, "The gods must be on our side!"
"Yeah, I wouldn’t be saying that so soon!" I mumbled under my breath as I heaved out a quiet sigh.
The power of a single draumheimiers matched ten common soldiers according to the stories and now we found ourselves with fifty warriors led by a single man whose nostrils was flaring as if he was trying to sniff us all out.
I licked my lips as I heaved another breath. I turned to look at the women, "You are all clear on the plan?" I asked a few nods went around the women.
