"Everyone stop!!!"
A shout rang out like rolling thunder, completely drowning out the sounds of battle. That sound carried a massive coercive pressure, causing everyone to freeze.
From afar, a group of beastmen in white cloaks with gold trim riding magical beasts were galloping over. On their chests was the insignia of a crossed sword and scepter.
Leading the cavalry was a silver-haired beastman, his face majestic, his aura steady. He held high a token made of pure white magic stone, engraved with the image of a crossed sword and scepter, its gold trim sparkling under the sun.
"The Martial God Shrine is here, everyone stop at once!"
Relius's expression changed. Eldric also retracted his fiery whip, taking a few steps back, his gaze full of vigilance looking at the approaching cavalry.
"Alaric..." Relius gritted his teeth, "Why is he here?"
