Chapter 75: The New Guy
"I’ve sent the word, Knight Uriel." A worker at the teleportation hub turned to the nervous-looking Uriel. "The Knight Commanders will be here soon."
"Thank you." Uriel sighed. "I’ll wait for them in the chamber. I’ll have to explain the real situation to them."
"Of course, Mr. Knight." The worker nodded, not really understanding what was happening. "Right this way..." The official led Uriel to the chamber.
The officials in the city had initially thought what was going on was an isolated arsonist attack while a few among them believed it to be a hostile action of some enemy Kingdom on the capital.
Since no word came from the higher-ups, the workers at the hub focused their efforts in making sure none of the explosions reached their working area.
The teleport formations were delicate, and if mishandled, could result in catastrophic happenings. No one wanted to see a huge chunk of the city disappear into who knows where.
Thankfully, the explosions stopped and the knights, guards and healers focused their efforts on helping the injured. The madness was coming to an end.
The Kingdom would surely find those responsible for the chaos and death brought upon the good people of the capital, and justice would finally be served.
Never had the city experienced chaos on this level before, much less in the capital of all places. To the people and local officials, this was unacceptable.
They called for blood and rained curses on the responsible party. Yet aside from a small few, no one truly knew who was responsible for the disaster.
But then a knight rushed over to the hub, wielding the emblem of the Royal Knight Commander. The order was a simple one: get help from the various duchies—specifically call on their knight commanders.
