Phwwwwhht, beeeeep-!
Along with the loud whistle noises, numerous bells began ringing loudly.
The whole citadel entered a state of emergency, and the Order of the Verdant Cross members were getting ready to set off while all kitted out in their green robes and balaclavas.
I walked over to the drill hall's window and took a look outside. That's when I discovered Hilda and Raphael leading the Verdant Cross outside the castle walls.
What was going on here?
It was then, knocks came from the door to the drill hall. I opened it to discover a dwarf standing before me.
He bowed slightly as a greeting. "Your highness, it seems that an emergency situation has developed by the mines."
"By the mines, you say?"
"Our comrades are trapped there, but I don't foresee any difficulties. Even if the lycans are powerful monsters, we dwarves are people with resilient vitality, you see?"
