Chapter 81
"Leader Licht!"
They both heard someone calling. Turning to look around, they saw an elf leaping over the earth wall Grey had raised. He landed in front of Licht, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face.
"Latry? What happened? Why are you breathing so hard?!" Licht asked.
"There's a huge problem, Leader Licht!" the elf named Latry exclaimed.
"Problem? What problem?! Go straight to the point, darn it!" Licht snapped, his heart pounding louder with each second as dread began to sink in.
"The elven town is under attack, Leader Licht!" Latry cried.
"What?!!!" Licht shouted in disbelief. "What are you saying, Latry?"
"I'm telling the truth, Leader Licht—the town is under attack!" Latry repeated firmly.
"Attacked? By who?" Grey asked.
"Not by who, but by what. The town is under attack by beasts! Hordes of them," Latry replied.
"Portal break?" Licht asked, and Latry nodded.
"Then we need to get back immediately!"
