Chapter 122: Preparations within the cities
[3rd Floor, Tower of Cessation: ]
[Time left until monster waves begin: 7 Days, 09:43:23.]
With the approaching Red night, the cities throughout the floor were preparing for the upcoming war against the creatures of the floor.
The cities were more active than usual now. People were preparing for the monster waves, helping the soldiers fortify the walls and tune the weapons. They were preparing necessities like potions and certain items that they were going to need in the battle, and so on.
The preparations for the Red Moon were not festive. There was a distinct heaviness in the air around them, and one could not ignore the obvious signs of danger around them.
The creatures of the forest had started feeling strange as well. As if to have foreseen the arrival of the red night, to protect themselves and their families from the madness of the Curse, the creatures were secluding themselves in safe places where they would be locked down until the end of the night.
Various creatures were helping one another in the process, while many creatures that did not understand these smarter ones simply went on with their daily lives.
It was inevitable that those affected by the effects of the red moonlight would fall into an eternal madness that would only end with their certain deaths.
No creature had survived the effects of the red moonlight after being affected by it. The curse was lethal to all of them equally, yet some did possess the power to resist it, like the guardian monkey that the people of this floor believed in.
Still, the red moon was a curse with unknown and unpredictable effects. They did not have any way to deal with the Red Moon itself, so surviving against the monsters was the only way for them to live on this floor.
So, people were doing everything they could to defend themselves against those monsters...
"Make way! Make way! Coming up!"
