The Author's POV

Chapter 362

Chapter 362 - Everything coming together [1]

"Gervis…"

Staring at Gervis's lifeless corpse, Douglas shuddered slightly, his voice strained.

What followed his words was an intense chill that shrouded the entire hall.

It didn't take a genius to understand what had happened, especially with Randur standing not so far from Gervis with a dagger in his hands, dripping with blood.

Lifting his head, Douglas's eyes paused on Randur.

"Why have you decided to betray us?" Douglas asked in a tone bereft of emotion.

His voice was calm and composed, but everyone in the room could feel the anger hidden within. The air around him trembled.

"Why did you do that…Randur?"

"…"

Silence.

Douglas was only met with silence. Randur just kept staring at him in the eyes.

After a while, raising his small, bulky hand, Randur pointed it at Waylan who was standing next to Ren.

"This is all your fault, human. If not for you, I would've never been forced into such a situation." Randur mouthed as he turned his head to face Douglas.

"If not for your companions' negligence, Jomnuk would've never have found himself in such a situation!"

His voice thunderously rang throughout the whole hall.

It contained all sorts of different emotions, with pain and agony being the primary ones as Randur mourned for the kidnapping of his friend.

Lowering his head and staring at Gervis's dead body, Randur's expression turned to that of disgust.

"And him… Despite the fact that Jomnuk had been kidnapped, one of the most important members of the city, he failed to punish the human responsible for the blunder and instead give him the power to take control of the operation because of some flowery words he spoke through the use of a mana contract?"

Walking up to him, Randur kicked his lifeless body.

Thump—

"Bullshit, I say! In the first place, the war could've been won with Jomnuk's barrier alone." Randur shouted as he glared at each and every person present in the room.

"The barrier could've lasted for at least six more months. If Jomnuk was with us, we could've figured out a way of extending it for even longer…yet you chose to give up on him and even supported the one responsible for his loss!"

Spit flew from Randur's mouth as his face turned red the more he spoke.

Everyone could feel the deep-rooted anger he had within him from just his voice alone.

"You call me a traitor? What bullshit?! The only traitors here are those who gave up on Jomnuk and chose to follow this human who has made nothing but mistakes…"

No one disrupted him as he spoke. A deafening silence enveloped the hall.

Everyone quietly listened to everything he said.

Some of the dwarven elders lowered their heads in shame as they heard Randur's words. They knew just how close he was with Jomnuk. They understood where he came from.

They felt a little bit of sympathy for him.

But whether they agreed with him or not, that was a different argument.
