One of the citizens who was escaping put his bag down on the ground.

Seeing the gentle and upright Guardian Sword, seeing Sir Bernard here, made him unable to tell what was the truth and what was a lie.

Sir Bernard started to speak at that moment.

�Everybody stop!�

It was a deep voice that echoed throughout the area.

He was shouting with disappointment while wearing a full set of armor even though he was in his seventies.

�I received his majesty�s order to leave his side and come here today.�

All of the citizens focused their gazes on Bernard.

It was a famous story.

The Emperor always kept Bernard by his side. He treasured this knight the most even though he was so old. The story about how the ill Emperor could not sleep properly if Bernard was not standing guard outside his bedroom door was famous.

�The reason for it is simple. His majesty is concerned about his citizens!�

The Emperor sent out his most trusted knight.

�Do not be fooled by that footage. Think about it for a bit.�

There were no emotions visible in the old knight�s voice as he continued to speak.

�Did the Empire point its sword toward you?�

That was why it was easier to hear him.

The citizens looked around.

They could see the destroyed walls.

They could also see the airship in the sky.

Furthermore, there were also the people from the slums that were telling them to escape.

They looked toward the airship and started to think.

�Is that footage really real? What if it is fake?�

Uncertainty and chaos filled their minds as they could not figure out what to believe.
