No one knew why the Beastmen had fled, but their retreat meant Bai Ma Ferry was now safe.
"Look! The dragon is flying toward us!"
"A dragon! A dragon!"

Now that the Beastmen had been driven off, Robson rode his dragon straight for the top of Bai Ma Ferry's walls.
The soldiers atop Bai Ma Ferry's walls had no idea what had happened; they only knew that a dragon had just saved their lives.
In the Frank Kingdom, and indeed across the entire Human World, dragons symbolized power and authority. Their image was mixed—neither good nor bad.
Thus, when faced with the dragon that had saved them, the soldiers felt no fear. Instead, they erupted in cheers.
Everton carried Robson as he circled through the sky, basking in the cheers of the people below.
At first, Robson thought Everton was moved by the scene, perhaps recalling some glorious moment from the Third Empire.
But as they kept flying, he gradually realized something was wrong. 'That guy just loves to show off.'
