The gendarmes, upon discovering that several units of the national defense force had started to make unusual movements, ran over furiously to question every daring regiment commander. However, when they saw the Black Orc heads tumbling out of the portal with Malin, their fierceness immediately took a new direction—those damned Black Orcs!
The gendarmerie split into two groups, one headed to the churches to report to their superiors through the portals and messengers. Malin stopped them, making sure each person carried a few Black Orc heads—as grim as it was, nothing worked better as evidence and a show of authority in the meticulous military than such bloody proofs.
For this, the major of the gendarmerie saluted Malin to show gratitude—as a direct subordinate to His Majesty the King, this was a high form of homage. Normally, they were only accountable to their own chain of command and the King.
