Since yesterday's announcement where outworlders were banned from Themisphere's cities, the population inside the capital had been on edge. After this one year, the natives had gotten used to the existence of the outworlders. Many of their economies and livelihoods also revolved around these outworlders. Many had even become good friends with them. So, when these outworlders were ushered out, the capital suddenly felt much emptier. Many of the outworlders were similarly confused. Everything had been so sudden. They didn't understand why this had happened. All they had been told was that an outworlder named Storm Wind had committed the grave sin of murdering the heir to the throne. But that was the act of one person. Why were they also punished? Not to mention, wasn't that Storm Wind supposed to be the country's hero? One of the generals who pushed back against the orc invasion and also a good friend of the prince? Why was he accused of the prince's death? Not much was explained to them. They had just been told to pack up yesterday and then escorted out of the capital. It was no problem for the adventurers, but a large portion of them were just common folks who had no interest in braving the wilderness. They had made their livings within the capital all this time, so their level was still very low. Most of them were below level 10. They had been making camps next to the capital. They didn't dare to venture too far for fear of meeting high-level monsters. A group of high-level independent players had volunteered to guard these camps, protecting them from monsters that wandered close. They knew this was not a solution. They couldn't continue to camp outside like this. The kingdom had promised to give them a decision in a few more days. But many received rumors that there was a high chance that they would get chased out of this country entirely. The atmosphere around the camps was mostly in bad mood due to these rumors. Some of them had even started to curse Storm Wind for being the person who had caused all these misfortunes. The news was that this Storm Wind was to be executed at noon today. Those angry with this situation hoped they could witness the execution as well. While they were waiting for noon, they saw an army of high-level players appear in front of the capital, facing the entrance gate. Horns were sounded from the city wall. The gate opened and a company of kingdom soldiers marched out. They came to meet this outworlder force. The common players who saw the incident were very curious. They approached but didn't dare to come too close. They watched the scene from afar. Two persons came out of this large group of high-level players. These two were John and Jeanny. They approached the kingdom's company who watched them warily. Many of the current players were now slightly above the average soldier's level, after all. The captain of the company walked out and addressed them, "What is the purpose of this congregation!" John and Jeanny stopped a distance away.
