However, the Empire�s forces were rather delighted and started to raise their voices to shout.

�The Tower Master has come with the will of his majesty the Emperor!�

There was a person wearing the Alchemists� Bell Tower�s robe and bearing the Emperor�s seal. His face was covered by a hood, but his robe had a pattern unique to the Tower Master of the Bell Tower.

Rex started to frowned.

They looked austere and not evil at all.

One of the people of the Empire who was running away stopped moving.

�Do I really have to run away?�

His expression held a look of doubt. Others started to react in similar ways.

Rex started to frown after seeing that.

�No!�

He felt like the flow was about to change.

He couldn�t let that happen.

The speed of this evacuation was already extremely slow. It would be a terrible predicament if it got any slower.

Rex strengthened his grip on his shield while knowing that that was the case, but his eyes were still shaking. He turned his attention to the airship.
