Leyan Territory was already under martial law.
This was the situation the Night Snake realized the moment he arrived in Leyan Territory.
The Holy Hall Enforcers hadn't arrived yet, and these people didn't seem to be hastening their own actions, even going so far as to take Alchemical Potions to speed up their flight with the help of the wind. The 'Swift Night Winged Snake' was a Magical Beast Bloodline known for both secrecy and speed, so thunderstorms and pouring rain couldn't stop him, and even served to disguise his tracks.
But even so, Leyan City, enveloped by seas of flowers, was plunged into turmoil. The city, which should have been under curfew, was now brightly lit, especially the Baron's castle, the home of their 'experimental targets,' which was surrounded by bursts of firelight that made him, accustomed to blending into the darkness, somewhat uncomfortable.
—What happened?
