Neither Emperor Carl nor Laine mentioned the reason for Tygris's arrival.
Turning the street corner, a Mercenary Guild appeared before everyone, and the gigantic corpse at the guild's entrance caught the interest of Laine and Emperor Carl.
It was the corpse of a Cyclops, set high on wooden stakes at the guild's entrance. The broken tip of a cavalry lance pierced through the Cyclops' massive single eye. Besides this fatal blow, there were dozens of horrific wounds on the Cyclops' body, each deep enough to expose bone.
This corpse signified that humans had once again achieved victory in the war against evil.
"I wonder which hero accomplished such a feat? If I could meet him, I would reward him well." Emperor Carl proceeded directly into the Mercenary Guild, with Standard Bearer Ludwig, a Holy Sanctuary Powerhouse, quickly moving to the front to protect the Emperor.
