The guards of Snow Rush City never returned.
Before dawn, another cavalry unit rushed out of the south gate to search for the previous squad's traces.
The King of Snow Rush City and his advisors discussed countermeasures throughout the night in the longhouse, puzzled by the strange occurrences within their domain.
At dawn, the sky turned pale as a soldier hurriedly dragged a shield into the King's longhouse. At this time, the King had just risen from his bed, draped in a bearskin cloak and coarse linen nightwear.
He looked at the flustered soldier. Placing the small circlet, symbolizing status and honor, on his head, he then spoke, "Look at you! So flustered! Asgardian warriors only get like this in the presence of Thor!"
"King Balgov! Four wanderers have arrived at the city gate," the guard exclaimed.
"What is special about them?" Balgov asked.
"They demand that the city's king lead them," the guard replied.
