The fight with the shadow

There was one word for the empire knights at the moment, and that was "Unorganised." Knights were currently running around the whole empire at the moment and heading everywhere but the arena. This was because several reports from up high, which were received from below of attacks happening in different areas were being reported. 

With a big army, the longer it took to mobilise it correctly. Still, they would have small units placed in each area for circumstances such as these. The knights that were stationed in these areas would go to the closest reports first. This was to keep them busy, and at the moment, no one knew what was going on at the arena. 

The broadcast was paused after the remaining contestants forfeited. To them, all the fights that were meant to happen had already taken place and thought it was quite normal for it to stop. They never saw that one of the contestants was meant to fight the beast, nor the shadow beast entering the arena.
