Buying Time

-----

"What's wrong? Joan?" Gradus immediately stood up, the bearded hunter who had previously retired but wanted to hunt once more quickly felt tensed up by Joan's expression.

"Shit… Why now?!" Joan quickly stood up. "Everyone, we are going back to the village, quickly!"

The other hunters immediately reacted with annoyed expressions or surprised ones, Joan didn't had much time to explain things, the army of undead was less than a hundred meters away from them.

"My mouse spotted an enormous army of undead coming straight to the village! We have to quickly tell everyone about this and prepare a defensive formation with all our fighters available! Come, let's go back, there's no time!" Joan immediately began running towards the village. The other hunters quickly began to panic, as they believed their leader and immediately began running behind him.

"Undead? Are you serious?!"

"You didn't saw something different, right Joan?"
