New Yu Era 1322, August 3rd, Tongling City
The demon attack brought devastation that was undoubtedly ruinous. Although the corpses on the ground had been cleared and the bloodstains on the streets had been scrubbed clean, the city was still filled with buildings that were damaged beyond repair. Only a bit deeper into the core urban area could one see some repaired buildings.
By this time, the Hou Family had mobilized over ten thousand martial artists who had assisted the townsfolk in reconstruction work tirelessly for three days and nights, and only then had they achieved these results.
Though located on the eastern fringe of Yongzhou, Tongling was still a prefectural city with a population of over two million spread over an area of about forty square miles. This demon upheaval had led to the loss of eighty percent of the population, leaving only about four hundred thousand survivors. The city was in mourning, with scarcely a household that had not suffered a death.
