As the news about the end of the war spread across the central region, Examire was celebrating.
Ever since the ferocious assault on the Armhands' towering headquarters, the city had been engulfed in an atmosphere of tense anticipation, as if caught in the grip of an impending tempest.
Sovereigns, fueled by their abundant resources and weaponry, were preparing for the looming battle. Meanwhile, the weak ones, plagued by their vulnerability, desperately sought an escape route from the imminent chaos.
However, for the weak, fleeing from this city proved to be an elusive dream. Embarking on a perilous journey beyond the city's confines seemed even more treacherous than remaining within its war-tainted walls.
Apart from the few who had the chance to leave, the rest simply stayed in this grandiose alien city, waiting for what would happen.
