Chapter 96: Under attack

The moon hid that night, and only the stars were lighting a bit the darkness surrounding the countless tents spreading around the stone city.

Some fires had been lit here and there, while some members of the clans took the guards. They weren't in the wilderness anymore, so the risk of being attacked by the beast was almost nonexistent. However, they were now in the middle of countless other clans, and that could be many times more dangerous than the desert.

The crackling fires were making the shadows dance while the guards were all sitting in the middle of their clans. It would be an easy feat for anyone to pass through without any noise, bypassing every clan while no one could see them.

But no one cared. Their only job was to defend their own clan, and even if they heard the clashes of a fight somewhere, no one was foolish enough to run in the direction. Some clans were killed, others survived. That was the Barren Lands. It was the land of the strong.
