Alex sprinted through the snow-covered landscape toward the capital city of Stormward as his heart pounded in his chest, matching the rhythm of his footsteps.
The demon invasion in all three royal cities had started a few minutes ago, but thanks to Alex's interventions, the demons were clashing against the hordes of players and city guards while the army regiments were on the march and would be arriving for aid in just a few minutes.
