Over the course of a couple of hours, everyone managed to retreat to the prison.
Kadrin came over with a couple dozen tough looking gladiators, Goldie came back with almost a hundred elven women of all ages, tears in his eyes… and the rest of his men came back with the women from the original brothel and dozens of others from smaller establishments.
They briefed them all… the city was about to be destroyed by his forces… the only place that would be safe would be the prison. He looked at the crowd of people, who had been hurt in the most imaginable ways possible… still scared and uncertain of their future, many were still crying no matter how high he turned his aura up… too many kids were missing families… Maro would safekeep all of them, they would be raised by his Holy Order.
He looked at Kadrin and then Goldie… they all nodded, accepting the time had come to give the signal. Alexis wished to help fight, Maro just looked at her and said "Aim for the green ones and don't hit any Trolls" and smiled.
He looked at the crowd again, the night was ending soon, "Today will be marked down in history, as the first Declaration of War by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Moon Empire!" He boomed
"Today is about Vengeance, today is about Justice… Today is about leaving a message to the entire Kingdom!" His words echoed through their minds… war and revenge, the people thirsted for it.
Maro extended his wings to the fullest, shocking the crowd into awe, he coursed Holy Energy throughout his entire body lighting himself up like a beacon and illuminating the prison courtyard.
He flew up slowly and confidently, anyone awake in the city would be able to see his light… he flew well above the city and then cast the largest smite he could on himself. An explosion of holy light erupted around him and the beam of light reached up into the sky and lingered. That was their signal… now to wait.
Within a couple minutes, alarms and bells started ringing, guards were yelling and assembling by the prison. Dawn was coming and Goldie was sniping as many guards as he could… until over a thousand surrounded the prison.
Maro threw the Warden and the Two torturers over the wall… he heard gasps from the enemy… he smiled… just wait…
The prison siege lasted for another hour or so, by then the sun was rising… more alarms started going off and then guards were being pulled away a couple at a time until only 250 guards were left to siege the prison.
Maro looked at who was left, roughly half of them were order races, he got on top of the wall.
"Shame on you for fighting against your own kind, The Moon Empire shall not show you mercy… it will be bought… Any Human, Gnome, Dwarf or Elf in service to the kingdom can bring me one Orc Skull as repentance for one life." Maro shouted and the guards murmured
"What the fuck is wrong with you, we were living here peacefully until you started all of this, who the fuck are you with your racist Ideology… we will work together to stop you… You will never beat the Unity Kingdom" a random Dwarf guard shouted back.
Kadrin almost pulled out his beard, hearing a dwarf say that. Maro turned up his calming aura to the max… Kadrin was about to jump off the wall.
"No point Kadrin, they are too far gone" Maro eased him
"I will personally kill that one… his ancestors should be ashamed in their graves" Kadrin gritted his teeth
Suddenly everyone felt a slight rumble… like a light earthquake.
