Efa slowly opened her eyes, while Himea let out a deep sigh.
'They're here.'
Both ladies thought at the same time.
Without wasting a second, Efa rang the bell, warning the soldiers of the enemy's arrival.
Soon, more bells rang in dread, spreading the warning throughout the entire city.
The citizens had already been informed about the upcoming invasion led by the subordinates of the former Demon Lord, threatening the peace of their kingdom. That being so, they had already evacuated to the shelters meant to protect them during the siege.
Throughout the evacuation process, there was no panic among the civilians.
After all, they had expected this day to eventually come.
The soldiers stationed throughout Everdawn City immediately moved into action.
Those who were resting quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed to their assigned positions. Archers climbed onto the walls, while mages made their way toward the defensive formations prepared specifically for this moment.
