Tension hung in the air, and fear gripped the hearts of everyone in Cloud Wind City. The news about the incoming Necoris army had spread throughout the city.
The city could defend against a small group of Necoris soldiers, but not a full battalion. One kilometer around the City was devoid of humans, and everywhere was as quiet as a graveyard.
Inside the city, the various clans were already preparing for the worst. In the Wu clan estate, they had gathered all their resources into carriages, ready to escape if things went south.
The city lord's face was grim.
"Why would these savage barbarians attack my city?!" he muttered, his voice filled with fear and annoyance.
He sent a message to the king the moment he learned of the Necoris army. Considering the distance between the imperial capital and their Soaring Wind Region, he doubted help would arrive before his city was destroyed.
