From this view of the window of the inn, the troops faraway was but a shadowy figure.
However, standing at the end of the city street, one would see a group of raging soldiers. In the dark of the night, they wielded oversized swords and charging at the sparsely scattered guards that was patrolling the streets.
At that moment, residents of the Long River Town woke up with a start. The row of pitch black windows were lit up.
"Wh-what’s happening?"
"Oh my gawd, there’s so many people. Could they be bandits..."
There was a mixture of fear and confusion. People quickly got up from their beds and closed their windows and locked their doors, they fished out their weapons hidden under their beds and held onto these weapons with their spouse and kids, shivering at a corner.
They did not know what was going on but they knew in their hearts that the guards of the town could not hold that many people.
