However, not all of them had left yet.

It was both because things were chaotic even with Rex and the mages on the airships helping out and because the Empire�s knights had gotten into position in order to prevent them earlier than expected.

Who would want to leave their home in the middle of the night and leave past the city walls?

Furthermore, how could they believe Rex right away when there weren�t any black mages nor golems around them right now?

�Rex! Is that something a terrorist can say?�

�A criminal like you should shut up!�
