The survivors of Ice and Snow City had unintentionally intimidated the Beixuan Dark Guard.
The standoff wasn't broken until Rota emerged with a group of people, a smile on his face as he announced, "All the Mages of the Mage Tower welcome His Majesty the King."
That finally broke the tense atmosphere.
The Beixuan Dark Guard Commander heard an order from the carriage behind him and directed his men to remain on guard at the entrance.
He dismounted and walked to the side of the carriage.
Otz also stepped out from within the carriage.
Otz and the Beixuan Dark Guard Commander entered the Mage Tower's courtyard alone.
Seeing the nearly one thousand Professionals in the courtyard, Otz remained outwardly calm, but he was utterly astonished.
Although he had already learned of the situation last night, he was still shocked when he saw it for himself.
He was especially taken aback by their aura and presence.
