Before the dawn arrived, Cloud Sea Academy was beset by a new crisis.
A food shortage crisis.
Great Emperor Mengsk-Mosong had delivered an uplifting pre-battle declaration in Dreamland while all the students and faculty of the academy were asleep.
"All who enlist tonight will receive an extra chicken leg with tomorrow's lunch," he had said.
The academy's students had answered the call en masse, each contributing their Life Energy to the defensive battle. United in spirit and fighting shoulder to shoulder, they faced the formidable enemies from the Imperial Court, defending their home and, at the same time...
...they wreaked havoc on the chicken population.
Under siege, it had been quite some time since the academy had sent out Messengers to procure supplies; with the food in storage, there was no way to fulfill the promise of one chicken leg per person.
