The exaggerated laughter, the agonizing cries, and the sound of whispers ironically harmonized into the madness brought by Lidien as the people watched the beastfolk massacre their own kind.
Lidien raised a finger and twitched it, signaling a soldier on standby. The man immediately knelt before him.
Then, Lidien pointed towards the black-cloaked beastfolk, still oblivious that he had been targeted.
"Capture that beastfolk. Alive."
The soldier's eyes traced the line of Lidien's finger through the crowd. The moment he identified the figure, he gave a sharp nod, bowed, and departed the watchtower with haste.
Now, the only thing Lidien needed to do was watch the carnage below and wait for the soldiers to report that they had captured the black-cloaked beastfolk.
Lidien was confident; he had been captured once by Mad Dog's soldiers on the way, let alone inside Blood Rose Clan territory, where soldiers were everywhere, waiting for merit that could change their lives.
