The Mederian siblings and Armel turned their attention to the source of the shout. Eric, accompanied by six knights, had rushed to the scene upon receiving the urgent report from a servant about intruders.
"Oh, boy! This is going to be troublesome! We're wasting time here," Callis muttered with an annoyed expression.
The Knights of Gerhard directed their gaze towards the warped iron gates, their faces registering surprise. They observed that there was no army accompanying the man before them, only a woman wearing long pants and a hooded robe, along with a teenager carrying a sling bag over his shoulder.
The fact that the assailant's attack had severely deformed the iron gates left them bewildered. Luke's eyes widened as he caught sight of Armel, recognition flashing across his face.
