The vast battlefield fell into an inexplicable dead silence. Everyone's gaze shifted in unison, locking onto Queen.
An inexplicable urgency rose on their faces.
Sensing the change in atmosphere, Queen could no longer remain composed. After activating a hidden mechanism inside his mechanical arm, he took out an iron box.
