"What happened?!" Someone from the crowd gasped in terror.
All of the people were disturbed by the sudden shockwave and alarms. Many of them had no idea that the king was a monster, so they were caught even more off guard.
They tried to escape outside, as the palace was in complete chaos. A large number of troops from the King's Guard surrounded the palace. Then, thirty robed priests jumped out of the shadows to intercept them.
The hold of the King's Guard was located in the north of the city. Peter and Hans had planned to use these thirty priests and three thousand assorted knights to secure the base of the King's Guard there and destroy the thousand high-class ghouls.
According to the plane, the city Defense Force would be in charge of maintaining order and eliminating low-class ghouls, while the priests and the knights would be responsible for the King's Guard. Peter would personally face off against Adonis. Yet, nothing went as planned.
