Chapter 538: Scouting Report
(A random Scout’s POV, Sanfe City)
Once the sun began to go down, several scouts were sent into Sanfe City by the Legion Commander, with the primary objective to gather information on enemy and civilian movement.
For these scouts, entering Sanfe City had proven to be easier than expected, since the entire City looked like a storm had just passed through the place.
The commoners were not clueless, and they had noticed the thousands of ships descending from the skies earlier in the day, at which point they already understood that the planet was now under siege by the Cult.
As a result, they began hoarding food, water and other essentials like mana lamps and oil, since they knew that a curfew was most likely to be imposed in the near future.
Market streets had hence already been stripped of anything worth eating or drinking, as broken stalls sat toppled on cracked stone tiles, while empty crates and torn ration sacks lay scattered across intersections that once held food vendors and supply convoys.
Shop doors had been nailed shut from the inside.
House windows were either shattered or boarded, and entire alleyways stank of spoiled fruit, sweat, and rusted metal.
Civilians moved like ghosts through the side lanes, arms loaded with whatever they had managed to hoard, from bundles of rice wrapped in cloth to old plastic bottles refilled at public wells.
