Outside the main gate of the City Defense Division.
Hundreds of people crowded the spacious street outside the gate, blocking it completely.
A person was seen tightly bound with rope, kneeling at the main entrance of the City Defense Division with a bruised nose and a swollen face, while a female corpse lay prostrate beside him. The woman appeared to be about twenty years old and looked as if she had just recently died.
The outer perimeter was a large mixed crowd of various individuals, from a middle-aged man in a luxuriant brocade robe surrounded by a group of Protector martial masters, to a rugged brute with a steel blade on his hip and a fearsome scar on his face.
The Head Constables guarding the entrance to the City Defense Division were somewhat intimidated at this time.
For them, had it been commoners causing trouble, they would have kicked them out long ago. It would've never come to this point where the incident grew so intense that it alarmed their superiors inside.
