The dark clouds overhead still hung low, while Emilia, Annie, and the twin sisters Ram and Rem hurried toward City Hall.
The entire Watergate City was in chaos!
Whether on the waterways where vessels of all sizes crossed paths or on the streets of every size, countless citizens were huddled together in panic. They tried to flee in dragon carriages or earth-dragon carriages, desperate to get home or find somewhere to hide—or perhaps simply to escape the city while they still could.
There was no one in the Kingdom of Lugunica who didn't know how terrifying the Witch Cult was!
Now the Witch Cult had come here. They were a group that would stop at nothing to achieve their aims, often taking innocent lives and leaving countless casualties wherever they appeared—the most malevolent organization of all.
So, to stay alive and protect themselves, their families, and their property, the people had no choice but to run!
"This..."
"This is awful!"
Seeing the once peaceful, prosperous, beautiful Watergate City of Priestella reduced to this state of chaos, there was no way Emilia could feel anything but heartache and sorrow!
But no matter how heartbroken she was, she had no power to stop or comfort the panicked people.
Even if she wanted to, she knew it would be useless. She had no influence in this city, and the citizens didn't know her. In fact, her appearance might only make them even more afraid.
After all, the silver-haired half-elf looked just like the legendary Witch of Envy, Satella. Especially now, with the Witch Cult attacking the city by surprise, brazenly announcing that it had seized City Hall and attacking the four great Watergate Towers and several districts. If she ran into the crowds and shouted for everyone to stay calm, she couldn't imagine
