"What's wrong?"
"What is inside..."
Voices filled with a slight panic arose, and the high-decibel screams of the crew members burst out again:
"Soul... Soul Clan—"
"There are Soul Clan—on this ship!"
It was like a bolt of thunder exploding in the crowd, which instantly erupted into chaos.
"—Isn't this the great Yate Vessel? The Yate Vessel that carries the empire's future hopes, how could the Soul Clan have infiltrated it!?"
"The Soul Clan of the Yate Empire was nearly extinct, why would there still be..."
"It's over, it's over, it's over! We still have two full days before reaching the Maritime City, who knows how many more will die in the meantime..."
Upon hearing the news of a Soul Clan attack, the jubilant crowd instantly turned pale; joy disappeared from their faces, and they became like a flock of sheep fearing their natural predator.
