Chapter 262

"Open the gates!"

"Urgent news from the capital!"

A man on a cloak shouted towards the night watch of the town as he huffed and puffed trying to catch his breath. His steed gave up a few kilometers away and he had to run and walk the rest of the way in order to deliver the information that Lord Masud had to learn about urgently.

"Captain what do we do?" a soldier turned towards their leader to ask for his decision. It has always been the norm that when the gates are closed during the night, it remains close till morning as to prevent the beastfolks a chance to storm the town at night where there were fewer soldiers on guard.

"Do we open the gates?" he continued to question but their captain still remained silent.
