On Wednesday morning, one hour after Daran and his Cracker Jack team extracted Alfric from the Primate farm, a huge army of Ashryan Empire's finest warriors descended upon the compound.
As the sun began rising above the tree tops, the elemental mages at the forefront of the armed forces flexed their fingers and threw fireballs at the closed gates, shattering them into smoldering shards.
The troops streamed past the wizards and stormed through with their wicked sharp blades gleaming in the early morning sunlight, yelling battle cries so loud they could have woken the dead.
They barged through the doors of all the buildings, hacking and stabbing at anyone who wore an Overlord outfit or even looked as if they were not tied up or subdued.
There was little resistance.
