The captain of the soldiers of the republic was shocked when he found that the group of people he put in the prison was gone.
He quickly mobilized his men to find any clues about the group.
He had no idea that Souta and the rest were already on the other side of the republic's territory. They didn't even manage to know the group's identity so they thought that they were spies from other countries.
The entire republic locked all of its borders so every person who approached their land would be apprehended by them. They would only release them after they confirmed their identity that they were not a threat to the country.

"Hero from another world?" Souta was a little bit interested in this.
"Yeah, Sydfri Kingdom has a higher-scale summoning circle. It could summon a person from a stronger world. That person would be bound by the contract." Princess Dreimi explained.
"I see..." Souta smiled and rubbed his chin.
