Liens glanced at the other guards around him.
Every guard his gaze swept over immediately put their crossbows behind their backs, then gave him an awkward, fawning smile.
The recent period of warfare had greatly broadened their horizons; they knew there were some people far stronger than ordinary ones.
As gatekeepers, they would find it difficult to pose a threat to such people.
And Liens's performance clearly matched the characteristics of an Extraordinary One.
Withdrawing his gaze, Liens questioned the guard whose neck was caught in his longsword: "Which faction of Kara City are you currently with?"
"We are the Kara City garrison, stationed here to prevent the Heavenly Balance Church rebels from destroying the city gate, and to provide early warning of changes outside the city."
The guard quickly rattled off the mission assigned by his superiors.
"Garrison? Prevention? Early warning."
Liens briefly summarized the guard's answer.
