The motorcade continued its journey toward the central square of the palace.
However, the nobles wore even more solemn and terrified expressions.
Just now, Queen Claudia, the leader of the Witchers, left the escort team and took some of the Witchers with her.
As a result, the caravan's defensive capabilities were weakened, and the nobles' sense of security decreased accordingly.
They followed closely on either side of the carriage, their faces pale and bodies trembling.
They had all heard the news of the group of monsters that had suddenly appeared in the capital.
These monsters were just as terrifying as the giant beasts that appeared in that sea area at that time.
No wonder Victor made the Crown Prince hastily assign the Knights to evacuate the people, saying that war was imminent.
Isn't war about to break out?
However, the enemy in this war is a group of monsters that suddenly appeared.
The nobles' legs went weak, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue following the caravan.
They were terrified that a monster as terrifying as the one described in the report might suddenly appear on their way to the central square.
Now that Queen Claudia, who was most likely to protect them, had left, the nobles felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
They still remembered how Claudia defeated the demon of envy, and even nearly killed him.
Having witnessed the Queen's true power, the nobles felt incredibly safe following the Queen's entourage.
But now, the Witcher has been taken away by the Queen to support the North District, which is the closest to this place.
And the remaining witchers...
The nobles were somewhat incredulous that the remaining witchers could protect them.
Even so, the situation for the nobles is not too bad.
Their gazes lingered on the carriages, paying particular attention to Gwen and the Elf Queen Kokot floating on the clouds at the front of the procession.
As Victor's fiancée, Gwen goes without saying.
Kokot, as the King of the Elves and a former member of the Mage Council, is no weakling.
The problem is that both of them are focusing their protection efforts on the elves.
Not everyone would consider the lives of nobles to be of great value.
Even they themselves felt that way.
After all, those are elves, such a mysterious and rare species. How could these nobles compare to them?
Fortunately, there was also a prince present.
Although the nobles learned from Riboot that Albany's feat of slaying the dragon might be fabricated.
But after all, he was hailed as the "perfect hero" and was the eldest son of Emperor Aubrey.
With this identity, his strength can't be too bad no matter what.
Thinking of this, the nobles all gathered around Albany.
They followed the eldest prince's footsteps, humbly and anxiously pleading for his protection.
"Your Highness, we have entrusted our lives to you..."
"Yes, Your Highness, our lives depend entirely on you."
"Alas, my family, young and old, all depend on me, Your Highness."
These nobles buzzed around Albany's ears like flies.
With each word they uttered, Albany's expression grew increasingly somber.
But these nobles, so eager for protection, clearly failed to perceive Albany's grave situation.
They still fantasized that Albany would bravely rescue them in the moment of crisis and save them from their dire situation.
After all, this is the duty of the royal family.
If members of the royal family are unwilling to protect the nobles, then why should these nobles serve the royal family?
Under the expectant gazes of the nobles, Albany slowly straightened up, as if making a promise to them:
"I see."
"I will definitely protect your safety."
Upon hearing this reply, the nobles felt an immediate weight lifted from their shoulders, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, smiles returning to their faces.
Just as they were rejoicing, the guard holding the communication crystal hurriedly approached the eldest prince.
"Your Highness! There's good news!"
His eyes gleamed with surprise, and he reported to Albany with a sigh of relief:
"In addition to the support from Her Majesty the Queen for the North District, the giants in the East and West Districts have also been intercepted!"
Upon hearing this news, the eldest prince's eyes widened, a look of surprise and delight spreading across his face. He excitedly pressed for more information:
"Which powerful figure from the capital has been dispatched!?"
"It's...it's Duke Revi, and General Vladimir who's come back to retire!"
at the same time--
Wangdu, Dongcheng District.
At this moment, the spacious blue brick street was transformed into a shattered ruin due to the violent earthquake.
Various protruding rocks and fragments of bricks and tiles were mixed together, and the resulting dust waves swept across the sky.
The knights who were evacuating the surrounding residents held weapons and stood behind the evacuees, firmly blocking the attack of the monstrous monsters.
However, their hands trembled slightly, their palms gripping the swords were covered with fine beads of sweat, and their eyes revealed a barely perceptible fear.
But burdened by their responsibilities, they had no choice but to suppress their inner panic and bravely face the threat before them.
However, due to their duty, they could only suppress their inner panic.
The knights stared in astonishment at the enormous, brownish-brown giant that blotted out the sky.
It towers into the clouds, with one hand supporting a huge rock, as if it is about to crash down on the earth at any moment.
Shadows enveloped the knights, and a terrifying aura permeated everyone's hearts.
However, just as the giant's arm fell, a chilling cold spread rapidly like ripples across the crumbling street.
