When we reached the gates, the crowd that gathered had reached its peak.
The area around the gates was completely surrounded by people, so much so that the guards at the gates even had to come out to help out with crowd control.
It took a while for them to keep the crowd away so that the cart could continue forward.
As for outside the gates…the entry into the capital had been completely stopped for this matter. With how serious this was, it was better for them to suspend all entries until this matter was over.
The travelers that were waiting outside were naturally angry about being made to wait, but they soon realized that this was something serious when they saw the cart. There were many of them who recognized who I was, just like the people of the capital.
