News about a horde that will attack this shelter has spread to all corners. That's actually a secret too. The people will basically know so there's no reason to keep it a secret.
About panic and fear... Well, from the start those people who don't want to fight have been struggling with that. So this news will only enable them to prepare themselves. Hopefully.
The guards on the tower immediately rang the bell indicating that there was danger approaching them. Because all the bells rang at the same time, it didn't take long for everyone to know about the incoming danger.
"The horde has come?" Lyn asked beside Barry. Right now, they are in front of the door of their metal house.
"Looks like it," Barry replied.
"Why so soon?"
Barry looked west. The dark cloud was still hanging there, it seemed to be approaching but not yet here.
'Weird. I thought that dark clouds would come along with the horde.'
