When they returned to Hope Town, it was already midnight.
Before they had even arrived at the town, Yue Yang could smell a dense smell of blood.
In the darkness, a large group of low leveled flesh-eating beasts came out upon smelling the blood in the air. Under the light of the fire, the eyes of these beasts flashed with a faint green colour. From time to time, sounds of quarrels and conflicts burst out. The distinct sound of laughter from hyenas were heard one after another echoing through the town. It was a horrific and strange atmosphere, causing people's hairs to stand on end hearing it. The town was ablaze. Aside from some houses that were burning, there were countless foot soldiers who were patrolling the area with torches.
All of the mercenaries and civilians who had survived were sitting on the floor, being surrounded by foot soldiers in a circle.
