Yan Xing, having left the Lord's Mansion, was still unaware of the events transpiring in Storm City. He rode his beloved steed, Fei Ying, to the outside of the Temple, gazing upon the grand, arch-shaped structure.
The Temple in Nuta City was one of the few places unaffected by the rioting.
The Temple's clergy and the Temple Knights who served directly under it were fully armed, confronting the City Defense Force that surrounded the place.
In contrast to the City Defense Force, which had been fighting for two days, the Temple's troops were well-equipped and rested, ready for the challenge.
The Guild's Mercenaries arrived at Yan Xing's command.
The City Defense Force also received Count Theodore's orders. They handed over the task of surrounding the Temple to the Guild's Mercenaries and retreated to the second line.
Yan Xing, riding Fei Ying, approached the foot of the Temple's high steps, where a squadron of Temple Knights blocked his path.
