Dire Situation [2]

Something changed in Void Palace after that day.

10,561 candidates passed the recruitment exam out of the almost 5 billion that appeared. Rumors about the harsh exam requirements that even terrified experienced mercenaries spread far and wide, and soon enough, the entirety of the Brightmoon Principality understood that something huge would happen soon.

They also began to wonder about the 10,000 people who passed the exam, but unfortunately, there was no way for them to get news of those people.

Ever since the exam ended, they'd been taken to the main palace, and the main palace had been completely closed off.

There was a strange barrier surrounding its periphery. It was solid, but not opaque. The people could see the main palace that defined the Brightmoon Principality, but more perspective viewers noticed that the palace seemed oddly picturesque and unchanging.
