Two days later...
A giant Feathered Serpent followed the avenues of the Dry City core and was soon in front of the imperial palace.
Since this being, Gaia, level 63, was an acquaintance of the imperial guards there, she did not even need to introduce herself, quickly gaining access to the inside of the palace.
Thus, in a matter of seconds, she was in the part of the throne hall that was made for beasts, where Minos was working right now.
"Your Majesty, I bring bad news." She said in a saddened tone, laden with melancholy and grief.
Minos heard that, and all the people in the surrounding area, be they guards or other members of his forces, fell silent and looked at this grand serpent.
They then heard the terrible news she had. "One of our groups was defeated by the enemy, and the tribe leader was killed in battle!"
"What?"
"It can't be..."
"Elder Virtus was killed?"
