From a distance, everything looked normal, but as soon as the two draconic heroes arrived in the town center, citizens began flocking towards them, letting them know that the palace had been attacked.

Caught entirely unprepared, the soldiers were cast aside like toys, and the advisors had been caught out, many without warning, before the entire group had teleported away again, only a few minutes before he arrived in the city.
