When the news reached the Town Hall.
Zong Shen was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the view.
Suddenly, the [Communication Crystal] hanging on his chest lit up.
Glancing down, he saw that it was a communication number in the hundreds.

"They have arrived with an entire carriage convoy, accompanied by roughly two squadrons
