章 45: That Coward

Drawing upon the system's inventory, I summoned a dark coat, once belonging to Zalthor which I had also taken from his corpse.

It draped over me like a shroud, concealing my features and intentions.

"Everyone who is willing to fight and protect the town, follow me! As for the indecisive cowards, I don't need you."

The weight of the impending clash settled upon me as I spoke, my tone devoid of emotion, "Let's settle this."

Behind me, a determined group of adventurers followed, their numbers surpassed over fifteen. Our destination was the western side of the city where the legislative branch's building was located in.
