Seventy

The knights that was patrolling the south gate was the first ones to fall prey for the relentless onslaught of the upcoming horde.

A man stumbled to the gate, his movement unstable and jittery.

Unaware of the danger the man would bring, they approached him with good intentions, voicing out their concerns.

The said man was pale, his skin was a unsettling shade of grey. The man's clothing is tattered and filthy— the hems and some part of his clothing is ripped and stained.

He has a noticable injury in his neck and arm, but there's no blood dripping from it.

The knights saw him as a beggar because of his tattered clothing, and the wounds? Only commoners are the ones who won't be able to afford good medicine to treat their injuries.

Which is why, the knights took pity on the man.
