Task after task, it was already daunting enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had he even been a Demon Hunter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then everything collapsed here in an instant; Lann was almost overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plans never keep up with changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann initially planned to take out at least one-third of the guards in secret, then whatever he did next would be much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation with Margaret was to gather additional information, and it actually only took less than a minute and a half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the alarm triggered already?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Surely there’s a strong Warlock in this camp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann almost immediately stuck the dagger back into his waistband and placed his hand on the hilt of the steel sword behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the wooden cage, his eyes scanned nervously towards the direction of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a cornered wild beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the direction of the largest tent in the middle of the camp, a tumult began, with someone shouting loudly over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann took a deep breath and forced himself to stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the main emotion was calm, Mentos could ensure the speed of his thought process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, the people emerging from the tents showed no sign of converging towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the only intruder in the camp, and if he had been discovered, a group of them would’ve just come over and hacked him to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this horn sound... not because they found me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming that he wasn’t the source of the problem, Lann began focusing his attention on the shouting in the center of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nighttime sea wind was strong, and the sound of waves loud, but with the extraordinary senses of a Demon Hunter and Mentos’ noise cancellation, Lann could make out the gist of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s news... guys!
