ตอน 233: Atmosphere

( Leo's POV )

On the day of the quarter-finals almost as soon as Leo logged back into the game, he was called for by the royal maid, who escorted him to the contestants carriage.

A convoy of 8 carriages all guarded heavily by royal guards left the palace together, as it seemed like the Emperor did not wish for any more lapses in security detail.

Instead of sending out eight separate convoys, which was the usual norm, he concentrated them all into one single unit with eight times the security, as the march of the convoy towards the grand arena looked more like a legion marching rather than a security convoy moving.

The convoy safely reached its intended destination a couple hours before the start of the grand tournament, as it seemed like nobody was foolish enough to attack the convoy of contestants this time around.
