On the next day, at the western entrance of Caritas City, a group of ten figures stood silently, observing the bustling activities of the people. They did not speak, only turning their heads occasionally to glance at the passersby.
Their gazes then shifted into the distance, where the remains of destroyed flying fortresses lay scattered. Many corpses were being tended to by volunteers, while others searched for treasures among the wreckage.
With such a large army, there must have been many valuable artifacts, and the people were trying to scavenge whatever they could. When some representatives of the populace attempted to meet with Aldrian to ask what should be done with the area where the flying fortresses had fallen, they instead met a female elf.
The female elf, who seemed to be part of the same group as their city lord, permitted them to take anything they could find from the remains at the site.
