And since this mission started ahead of schedule, the Star Network's inner circle was in an uproar.
"The mission has already started, doesn't that mean the beast horde's attack is imminent?"
"Could we have been wrong? The beast horde shouldn't take the initiative to attack for another three days, but our actions have altered the course!"
"It's very likely that this has happened, but it might not necessarily be a bad thing. Everyone should be prepared."
"Wait, if the beast horde is attacking now, what will happen to those people outside the city?"
At this time, City 17 had already made preparations for defensive operations.
Even if they were to face the beast horde now, there was no actual difference from fighting in three days.
But there was still a large number of Star Network members outside the city who hadn't retreated!
They had gone out prepared and only had twelve hours to move.
