The city panicked, soldiers left their homes, still getting ready, but there was no time to wait; the orcs were here. The sound of the horn being rung had even made some faint from fear; it was heard by the whole city, and every civilian knew what was happening, being escorted out by some of the guards.
The King seemed confused, devastated. After all, his whole plan had fallen, and he was going to have to figure something out.

But to his luck, they were able to gather at the gate, all the soldiers of the Beast Human had gathered to fight back, and yet. The orcs had yet to attack.
'Why?' Aether said, looking confused. Why would the orcs let their enemies regroup and not attack when they had the option to catch them off guard?
It was confusing, also, did the orcs really not have any higher up than the King... it was weird.
...
But that was when he heard a branch break from his left. Turning in a hurry, he saw something that made him pale in horror.
