When Ethan entered the city, the atmosphere immediately felt different. Groups of soldiers and adventurers moved quickly through the roads while messengers ran between defensive posts carrying urgent reports. Every person seemed to be preparing for something serious.
The entire city had entered a state of high alert.
Ethan walked slowly through the crowded streets while observing the situation carefully. Several defensive formations were being assembled near the inner gates, while supply teams transported weapons and medical equipment toward the outer walls. Even the ordinary civilians were moving hurriedly, many of them carrying belongings as if preparing to take shelter.
"The beast tide must be very serious this time," Ethan thought quietly.
From the looks of the preparations, the city leadership clearly expected a large scale attack.
