Chapter 268: Governor and Consul*
New chapter of The Demon King is out! (1/2 chapters)
The day after the battle, Fritz changed horses and left Noimirabel, protected by a small group of guards. Then, when he entered through the city gate that opened in the early afternoon, Galilianin was shrouded in an unusual atmosphere.
The streets were filled with people carrying heavy luggage. With desperate expressions on their faces, they seemed to panic upon seeing others in a rush. To put it simply, they were in a state of panic.
Any men, who had free time, ran as if driven by something, and those lucky enough to have gotten a cart piled up their belongings like a mountain. Among them, an old woman was seen trying to escape while carrying a chest of drawers. Everyone, each and every one of them, was desperately trying to save themselves and protect their belongings. However, in this situation, there was no room for defense.
“Hey!” (Fritz)
Fritz glared at the commander of the Galilianin local militia who had come out to greet him.
“What is going on? How long has this been happening?” (Fritz)
“Well, since yesterday. Yesterday, when the news of the defeat came in, and since then…” (??)
Last night, Fritz had given detailed instructions to the mayor about the situation at Noimirabel.
