Only one Elite Knight remained of the two hundred warriors who had come.
"W-Wait!"
He glanced fearfully at Alaric while slowly backing away. Sweat trickled down his face as he tried to come up with a way to escape this situation.
"Why did you guys come to this village?" Alaric asked as he walked closer to the trembling warrior.
"That…"
The Elite Knight hesitated, but realizing that this might be his last chance at survival, he gritted his teeth and told him the truth.
"W-We were tasked to ca-capture the children in this village with ages below five!"
Hearing this, Alaric furrowed his eyebrows. From his words, it seemed like whoever gave them the mission didn't want them to know about Dudu's real identity, but it was understandable. A half-dragon was a being that would attract attention wherever it went.
After getting the information he needed from the man, Alaric didn't waste more time and stabbed him with his short sword.
Khhsshk!
