Outside Fallen Star City's gates…
Two full divisions stood assembled.
Twenty thousand from the Fallen Star Guard.
One hundred thousand from the Fallen Star Corps.
They filled the area in disciplined ranks, armor and weapons catching the light, thralls standing among them like silent shadows. Around them, countless Fallen Star City residents crowded the perimeter, watching with bright eyes and barely contained excitement.
Everyone knew what it meant when both of the city's strongest forces were called out at the same time.
Something big was about to happen.
"What do you think the Commander's doing, pulling both teams together like this?"
"Isn't it obvious? He's about to go after the Void Realm creatures."
"Ha! That's what I think too. Three seconds of silence for those Void Realm bastards—picking a fight with our Commander is basically picking a fight with death."
"Man… I really wish I could be one of them." Someone stared at the formation with naked envy.
