The current Pitched Battle Regulations in Dragon City had been passed down for decades.
Logically speaking, it did state that all citizens were soldiers, and if they ran into monsters, they had to defend their positions and fight to the bitter end.

But such harsh regulations had already fallen behind times and hadn't been carried out for a long time.
The reason for that was simple. Decades ago, Dragon City was in a critical state and was about to be destroyed. The entire city was in ruins, and only one-third of the main city area was still under human control.
