'This city is going to be destroyed,' was Emilia's honest thought as she watched the front lines turn into the undead. The undead advanced on the living, slaughtering them like fleeing animals.
People panicked and started to flee desperately, but there were too many people in the square, so they ran over each other as they fled towards the gates, making the fallen easy targets for the undead.
