After the people successfully retreated behind the upper walls, Hendrick made his way over to Leon. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Young man, you are very good.” Hendrick praised.

The young man in front of him was able to remain calm and focus on important tasks during crucial moments. He had great prospects.

The general marquis didn't plan to stick for long. The other districts also required urgent help. He was prepared to leave immediately after praising the boy.

However, Isaac couldn't keep silent, seeing that the prince didn't receive the proper salutations.

”With all due respect, even if you are the general marquis, you are still below the royal family and should address his highness as such.” Isaac said staunchly.

Others might revere the general marquis, but not him. They had been equals in strength for many years. Now that the general marquis had advanced, he would at most only show proper respects as one would to a stronger person, but not to the point of revering.

Leon raised his hand to stop him from continuing, but it was too late.

His highness?

Which means the prince was found in the last two weeks. For a person growing up as a commoner to already cultivate such a majestic aura, this prince was not simple.

”Apologies for the impudence, your highness.” Hendrick offered his proper fist-palm salutation.

”There's no need for such formality, general. Do what you need to do.” Leon shook his head before saying respectfully.

This person was a hero, someone who had safeguard the western border from the beasts for many years and was worthy of his great respects.

The general marquis nodded.

Lives were at stake and the sooner the other district receive help, the more lives to be saved.

He was originally anxious for his son but seeing that the Upper District had not been breached, he let down his worries and allowed himself to focus wholeheartedly on the bigger picture.

After the general marquis left, Isaac started issuing orders to everyone so they could prepare themselves to welcome the next wave of crawlers.

The commoners were moved to the innermost region of the Upper District. Just outside the Royal Palace and far from the Upper Walls. These people would not be able to help if they camp near the walls. Instead, they would affect the chain of commands and hinder the defenses by being in the way.

…

At the same time, troubles were looming in the Upper North District.

A crowd of young nobles and aristocrats from all districts had begun to concentrate outside the Lancaster Empire Estate Building.

Despite being called a building, it was not square. It held the appearance of a pyramid-shaped metal fortress that seemed like the result of fusing many buildings together.

The pack of young nobles and aristocrats were the bottommost people in terms of importance within their families. They were deemed to have the least potential in being able to help their family prosper. Thus, no awakening pills had ever been distributed to them by their family head.

They were basically a bunch of profligates and wastrels.

There was only one reason why they have gathered at this spot instead of retreating towards the safety of the Royal Palace.

They all wish to board the airship carrier docked at the top floor and flee the Capital by air. Unfortunately, they are currently being blocked off by the Duke's people.

There were several hundred people gathered outside and their numbers continued to grow with each passing moment.

However, not everyone would be able to board the airship carrier even if they succeeded breaking into the building. There was only one airship and it can only hold so many people.

The reason there weren't many airships manufactured in the kingdom, was not due to the complexity of the manufacturing itself, but the supply of levitation stones. Levitation stones weren't naturally formed resources, but high-tech relics that were unearthed from the ancient ruins sent over by the Royal family. Unless the royal family had more to send them, there would not be anymore airships.

”Back off! We are not open for business today!” One of the guards barked.

”How can you shun away your customers!? The building has always been opened for business and never had it closed before!” A good-for-nothing young noble roared angrily.

”Yeah! We are all customers! We came to place some special orders!”

The guards did not speak another word, but there was only one word they all want to curse inside their minds,

'Bullshit!'

At normal times, they would naturally be open for business, but even during their peak business hours, there were never so many people coming in to place their orders at once.

They would never believe what these people are saying, especially in a time like this. They obviously came for the airship, but they were making lame excuses to enter.

There was no doubt in their minds that once these people were allowed to enter the building, they would no longer be able to stop them all. There were too many people, even for trained awakeners like themselves.
