As days passed by, we are getting closer to Axheria March, the place where I am going to kill yet another Hero. More and more territories are liberated, making Nobles even more paranoid each day.
Some cities are burned to the ground. This causes terror among the people; they fear that they will wake up to a flaming, gigantic oven one day. They demand an increase in security but the Nobles are too focused on Shadow to mind their demand.
An unreliable ally is more fearsome than an outstanding enemy, they say. The Nobles get their priority right by focusing on quenching the people's thirst for rebellion. They hunt for Shadow and do everything their best to stop their people from rebelling. That is, by suppressing them even more.
