The Author's POV

As he was returning from the tavern, Waylen suddenly heard the sirens of the city ring out.

Without wasting any time, he hurriedly ran towards the outer walls of the city where an elderly figure stood.

Deeply gazing into the distance on the top of the enormous wall outside of the mountain where Henolur resided; a terrifying wind blew from below the walls.

Oddly enough, despite the strong winds blowing, the old man's clothes remained completely still and didn't flutter the slightest.

Sensing something, the old man turned his head and greeted Waylen with a calm smile.

"Waylen, you're back."

"I just came back from a drink, what exactly is going on, Douglas?"

"Haaa."

Closing his eyes slightly, the old man, Douglas, looked towards the distance.

Waving his hand, the strong winds around them completely disappeared and silence descended.

He then pointed towards the distance, where a mass of black dots appeared in the distance.

"As you can probably tell, the demons are once again attacking. This time, they are attacking with a large number of troops."

Putting his hands on the battlements of the castle; The upright projections on the castle walls shaped to look like teeth, Waylen glared.

"Those bastards. Have they sent the big shots?"

"Not yet. It looks like they are still trying to gauge the defensive mechanism of the city."

"So they've basically sent the cannon fodder."

"Mhm, for now."

Douglas calmly nodded his head.

Stroking his long white beard, he softly reminded.

"We should still be careful. We might never know what might happen."

Nodding in agreement, Waylen suddenly thought of something.

"...Right, what did the dwarves say?"

"The dwarfs?"

"Yeah, are they allowing us to help them?"

Acting without permission could enrage the dwarves.

This was because their interference might have adverse effects on the dwarves who were perhaps planning on activating a specific defensive measure that required no interference.

If they wanted to act, they could only do so at the okay of the dwarves.

After all, they were here to please the dwarves, not antagonize them.

Understanding full well what Waylen was implying, Douglas shook his head before once again turning his attention towards the distance.

"Nothing yet, but I've already told them that we will assist them if anything happens."

"That's good enough for now."

Also turning his attention towards the distance, Waylen's eyes squinted and tangible bloodlust started exuding from his body.

"If they permit us to move, I'll slaughter each and every demon that comes my way."

WHIIIIIII—! WHIIIIIII—!

The sounds of the sirens rang out throughout the whole city as the dwarves quickly closed up shop and hid inside of their homes.

From how unpanicked and organized this was, I could tell that this wasn't the first time that this had happened.
