201 Before the fight

It was now the fourth of August, the year 3040. Many things happened in the past few days, some good, some bad. The bad one was related to some news shared by the military.

Apparently, a vast horde was headed toward New Alexandria, and the city was setting up defenses all around and inside the barrier to avoid a breach in the eastern gate. The horde was so strong that General Becker had been forced to ask all the citizens under 60 years old and over 16 to join the defenses; they called every person available, and that received some training.

Despite the effort to prepare for the horde, rumors about the military's inability to effectively protect the city only added to the anxiety and uncertainty among the citizens. The military's announcement about the impending horde invasion of New Alexandria was disturbing, especially as they had already called in every available person for defense, leaving no room for additional reinforcements.
