A Formidable Enemy Beyond Roxie?

Imperial Capital, inside the Imperial Palace.

As Rocket led his troops to block the gates of the Imperial Palace, and Capeline charged toward the Royal Hall with the Shattered Blade Knights, the entire Imperial Palace seemed to erupt into turmoil and chaos.

"Stop!"

"Hold it!"

Many Knights stationed within the Imperial Palace, along with the private forces of the major nobles, appeared to have been deployed there. The moment they saw Capeline leading the Shattered Blade Knights toward the Royal Hall, they panicked and rushed forward one after another to stop them.

"Move!"

Capeline no longer restrained her temper. She seemed to have made up her mind to settle everything today.

If one looked down from above the Imperial Palace, one would see countless Knights
