Chapter 344: Bread and Dagger (42)
The blaring horns reverberated, rattling my skull.
Armed soldiers rushed out from all directions, each holding their own weapon and exuding a menacing aura.
It was a surprise attack under the cover of night.
The location of the Yurdina family’s military camp was supposed to be a closely guarded secret. For the elves, discovering it would have been no small feat, especially given their overwhelming disadvantage in terms of military strength.
Even if they sent scouts, our surveillance net would have caught them in no time..
In fact, the Yurdina family’s army was actively scouring the coniferous forest themselves. The chances of them overcoming all those countless obstacles to reach our camp were virtually nonexistent.

To panic and become flustered would have been natural for anyone.. It was, after all, a situation where they had to confront the enemy without even having had time to mentally prepare themselves.
