That day, Blazing Town remained calm, with mercenaries still at odds with the border guards.
But the next day, everything changed.
The news of the Holy Court's army encamping at the border spread quickly into Blazing Town, and all mercenaries stopped provoking the border guards and decisively left.
In the entire town, apart from local residents, only the border guards with heavy expressions remained.
Even when townsfolk were active, their expressions were full of panic.
Hilia stood on the rooftop of a building, looking at the road leading deeper into the Blue Dragon Empire.
At this time, except for the free mercenaries, the townspeople had packed up their families and were leaving in droves.
When war breaks out, this will be the first battlefield, and no one wants to die without reason.
Even the town's lord had no intention of staying to resist.
A small town between two empires can't even stir a ripple, better to flee first and return when things calm down.
