"What the hell?" The guard on the wall let out as his pupils shrank while he looked into the distance.
Although visibility was an issue, the rumbling of the ground and the multiple red glowing eyes in the distance were enough to tell him what was coming.
He immediately rushed towards the bell beside him and with a blast of wind, it rang throughout the kingdom's walls.
This bell was rarely ever rung, and whenever it was, it was a sign that a corrupted monster stampede was on its way.
And from how loud it was, it definitely wasn't a small horde.
The people, at least those who weren't proper spirit mages or were too injured to fight, went inside the houses where they'd be safe.
Whilst the large majority, originally belonged to the military, they put on whatever armor they could find and prepared themselves.
Despite most being rusty, they were still spirit mages that ranged from C to A....so they could definitely handle themselves.
