Start of the Third Stage and General Guan's Fight...

The moment that the formation around the capital of the Iron Sky kingdom activated, everyone inside the capital instantly realized something was wrong. Even the ones who had yet to hear about the giant demonic rat from the miners close to the capital that managed to run inside before the formation began closing off the capital from the rest of the world realized that something big was happening close to the capital.

After all, there was no way the formation would have been activated and used to seal off the capital if there wasn't something dangerous happening nearby that might affect the capital.

"What is that? Did someone perhaps attack the capital?"

At the same time that the giant barrier appeared to surround the capital, both the spectators and participants at the alchemy competition all looked up towards the barrier that had suddenly appeared all of a sudden with both nervous and curious expressions showing.
