"Damn it!" the Grain and Grass Officer roared, cursing as his figure rose into the air and shot directly toward the commotion.
Immediately after, three or four more figures followed him, their speed just as fast, rushing toward the same spot.
Unfortunately, by the time the Grain and Grass Officer arrived, it was all over.
Seven or eight Soldiers from the Cao Kingdom had all had their throats slit. Only one remained, and he looked to be barely breathing.
The Grain and Grass Officer walked over, hoisted the man up, and demanded, "What happened?"
The man had been stabbed in the stomach, but not fatally. Pale and trembling, he answered, "J-Just now... we sensed... someone in the woods by the road, so we went to investigate. Who knew... as soon as we entered and made a sound... they... they attacked, and they were cursing..."
"Cursing what?" the Grain and Grass Officer asked coldly.
