On the wide main street, a group of people came forward to welcome them. Sea God Hawke spread his arms and shouted, "Welcome!"
THUD!
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came to a halt. Hundreds of steeds stopped in unison, their perfectly synchronized movement chilling to behold.
"Hawke?"
"It is I." Sea God Hawke bowed his head, a cold sweat forming on his brow. "May I inquire how the respected Knight wishes to be addressed?"
"John." A rider on horseback, wearing a bronze mask of a legendary imp, slowly emerged from the ranks. He looked down and said, "Jiliu City will send five hundred people to accompany us to Freedom Port. We need those among them familiar with its terrain. A Great Knight is to be left behind."
Hawke looked up.
「Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.」
