Green Mountain Prefecture City was in chaos.
Although the various human cities had been drilled for such situations—where all citizens below the Marrow Cleansing realm were to escape into the deep tunnels when the demons invaded—it was currently the middle of the night. Most people were sleeping soundly! Despite the din in the city, 30 to 40 percent of the city remained asleep.
Some people didn't care about others. They led their own families into the tunnels first! Some went around, shouting and waking people up.
"Quick, quick! Ergou, stop sleeping." A middle-aged, one-armed man kicked open his neighbor's door. He entered the yard and kicked open another door that was locked from the inside. The wooden door was shattered. Only then did Ergou and his family wake up. They heard the urgent bell-clanging and the commotion outside.
"The demons are here. Hurry up and enter the tunnel. Quick, quick!"
