"HALT!" Royal Knights shouted across the bridge as the refugees rushed across the bridge. After not heeding their warning, the soldiers lowered their spears, alarming the people as they started pushing against one another.
"We're going to die! We're going to fucking DIE!!!" Someone screamed as the panicked mob surged together. Screams and cries began to spread throughout the group.
"Calm yourself, there is no reason to panic," Renee shouted, pushing her way through the crowd and across the bridge.
"We're going to be trampled!" A woman shrieked, clutching her child in her arms.
"There's nothing you can do to help us!" Another man screamed.
"We're all gonna be crushed! We're all gonna be killed! We're all-"
"Silence! Everyone needs to calm down!! " The Knight Commander yelled, turning and gripping the man by his collar as he immediately bit his tongue, nodding frantically.
