After half an hour, the three of them arrived at the gate of the Scarlet Clan's city, only to find the city gate closed and the guards on full alert.
By the city gate, a crowd of over a thousand people had already gathered, "Let us in, we've always lived within the Scarlet Clan city walls; we just went out for some training a couple of days ago."

The thousand-strong crowd was at a loss, having already waited for two days, yet the city gates remained firmly closed. They couldn't understand why the Lord would issue such an order!
"We must get in, if not, we'll have to break down the door," some of the more hot-tempered ones said, having already drawn their weapons in utter desperation, deciding they could no longer wait.
