Imperial City, in front of the Imperial Palace.
At this very moment, on the square before the palace gates, an unprecedented number of Imperial Knights were arrayed in rows, as if poised to meet an enemy army. They blocked the palace gates tightly.
They stood like a steadfast army of knights, every one of them as if on the battlefield, their morale soaring like a rainbow.
Such a scene should not appear within the capital of a kingdom.
But today, such a scene had emerged, and a very real enemy force had arrived before them.
"Boom...!"
Accompanied by a rumbling of the earth, a group of Imperial Knights riding their warhorses charged into the square, stirring up a thunderous noise of hooves.
"Boom!"
The Imperial Knights guarding the palace immediately reacted to this, as if provoked, they all stepped forward in unison and drew their weapons.
