Looking at the thousands of troops marching toward them, the soldiers of Weilmar City stood in position, ready for battle. However, they soon realized something was wrong. Some posts were empty, and when they searched for their missing comrades, they discovered that many had already been killed!
That could only mean one thing—there were assassins among them, and one of them had sent the signal with green smoke to alert the enemy to attack.
The highest-ranking commander in the city at the moment was the commander of the city's guardians, a High King-stage expert. Right now, his expression had turned grim—the enemy had chosen the perfect time to attack.
Baroness Weilmar's departure to Caritas was known only to him and a few others to avoid alerting enemies outside the walls. They had kept it a secret because if the enemy discovered that Baroness Weilmar was gone, they would undoubtedly launch an attack.
