Training to be Assassins
The appearance of the imps and gremlins had caused the mines' operations to halt.
Many miners had died from the sudden attacks of the imps.
A day after Emeros had slain the Chort, numerous squads of imps and gremlins had attacked, and it led to a great battle that summoned all the guards to focus their forces at the front.
Dozens of the guards were even killed when the Puks appeared, and Perment had to move to the front line to fight.
The response time was too long, forcing Perment to stay at the front lines.
The guards proved to be utterly useless as many turned cowardly, and many had to flee.
It was only when Perment stepped up and killed guards who were retreating and threw his authority and vowed their deaths that he managed to force many to fight.
