As Verc arrived in front of the wooden gate that was built by the orcs and the others, he pulled on the reins of Bong. The tall wooden walls loomed over the caravan, looking sturdy and imposing against the dark backdrop of the forest trees.
The two orcs standing guard outside immediately straightened their backs. Their eyes widened as they recognized the figure leading the group.
"THE LORD HAS RETURNED!!!"
The two orcs standing guard outside exclaimed that as loud as they can. Their voices were like booming drums that echoed through the clearing and vibrated against the wooden logs of the wall.
Their message reached everyone inside the wooden walls instantly.
"Huh...?"
Verc then heard hurried steps behind the wooden gates. He can sense a lot of footsteps inside gathering. It sounded like a small army was rushing toward the entrance.
And in a matter of seconds—CREAAAK!
