"Guards!" shouted the late Governor's henchman.
And two young and fresh imperial sentinels rushed to his office.
"Play the announcement horn! There is a message of great importance from His Majesty!" ordered Polo.
"At your command, sir!" The soldiers exclaimed in unison and left the room.
A few minutes later, the sound of the horn resonated three times across the area and caught the attention of the troop in the Okunde's garden.
"Oh, oh! We have a message from the Emperor earlier than scheduled. Only one moon has passed yet." uttered a warrior in astonishment.
Warriors left their tents and the lawn of Okunde's garden and massively flocked to the Governor's headquarters' esplanade. They heaved their eyes to the balcony and waited for the imperial messenger.
There was a bit of nervosity in the air. The men in uniform were extremely depressed since the bats' attack and were in dire need of a leader to boost them up and guide them to victory.
