After the contingents from the various duchies drew near, the noble representatives of each duchy received word to proceed to the central camp for a meeting.
As the lord of Storm Territory, Nalant went as well.
Along the way, only through the nobles' discussions did he learn that the Dark Creature attack the previous night had been far more serious than imagined.
The Dark Creatures encountered by minor duchies and small factions like theirs had indeed not been too powerful. After all, the strongest had only been fourth-tier Bloodthirsty Bats.
But the Dark Creatures encountered by the six great empires had been far more powerful than theirs, with several sixth-tier Dark Creatures even appearing.
As Nalant passed outside the camps of the six great empires, he spotted the corpse of a monster as tall as a small mountain from afar.
It was a dinosaur-like skeleton, at least thirty meters long and as tall as a four-story building.
"My heavens, it's actually a Giant-Fanged Demon Tiger! That's a sixth-tier Dark Creature, one of the strongest among mid-tier Dark Creatures!"
"Yeah, thank goodness this big fellow didn't come to our camp last night. Otherwise, just one of them could have inflicted devastating losses on us!"
The astonished cries of the noble representatives were enough to prove the terror of the Giant-Fanged Demon Tiger.
Before long, Nalant followed the crowd to the location of the Sacred Alliance Council.
The Council's camp was located in the center of the six great empires, stationed together with the Sacred Magic Academy.
"Duke Miller!"
Having just entered the camp, Nalant quickly spotted Duke Miller amid the crowd.
Nalant was grateful for Duke Miller's care after setting out on the expedition. Thus, aside from the Blue Shield Empire, Nalant also had an excellent impression of the Nock Empire
