"I have been back for a week and there is already chaos." The king could only feel that the odds were stacked against him. The mess that was building an entirely new city had brought him stress already. Now, he was receiving an emergency quest to mobilize his army against one of the generals from the demon army. "Call for my general and mobilize the adventurers' guild. I want every guard on duty whether they are awake or not!"
The castle was in full swing trying to contact every possible person it needed for the defense of a city. The first noble to make an appearance was none other than Markus Raven. "My king. My guard has locked down the treasury. It can only be opened with your and my mana and blood. What do you need of me?" This was his protocol when things of this nature happened. He would go and activate a special seal that would block anyone from entering the treasury no matter what.
