After several local leaders learned about Minos and Abe Vogel's war situation, the local powers immediately began to react to the information that the emperor was coming to the capital.
Several low-level Spiritual Saints moved towards the posts where Minos' men were living and working in the vicinity to surround them and keep them in preventive detention.
Meanwhile, the high-level representatives and members of each local noble family moved toward the Assembly building, intending to occupy the place and prevent Minos from entering later.
They knew Minos was coming to this city accompanied by powerful Spiritual Saints, who were either stronger or would give them a lot of trouble.
As such, they had to first occupy the local government headquarters and ensure that crucial information would not be released. Then resolve the situation as best they could for their side.
