"Don't dawdle, you bastards!" the Guard Captain berated his soldiers.
The soldiers guarding Calea City are neither lazy nor weak. This is only natural, as the city borders the "mountain range," a magic realm. Having experience in regularly fending off magical beasts, all of Calea City's elite soldiers are tough. They could easily take on two or three inland guards by themselves.
"But... what can we do if we go there?"
However, the soldiers' faces now showed only fear and tension.
"It just looks like a volcano erupted..."
"I've never heard that Calea Mountain was a volcano."
"How can we even confirm that...?"
The Guard Captain struck the helmet of the grumbling soldier.
"I saw it, I tell you. It was a lizard. A fire lizard!"
"Ouch... Are you sure you haven't been drinking?"
"You think I'd get drunk on just two beers! And don't you see even the mayor has come out?"
