Two weeks later...
After several days of no attacks on the imperial family forces or their closest allies, Payton was finally at its most tense moment.
At dawn on this day, suddenly, Mortimer Burgess arrived through a wormhole, along with more than 20 high-level Spiritual Saints at his side.
When they appeared over the central area of the imperial capital, inhabitants from all over the city began to panic, fleeing towards the sides of this metropolis.
Those who could fly or had winged beasts simply took off into the skies, fleeing for fear of being involved in a potential conflict.
But these represented the minority of the fleeing people, as most inhabitants could not escape through the skies.
So when Mortimer and his main supporters arrived in this city, the main avenues leading to the local exits were filled with people.
