While John and the other members of the Order Faction were in a state of panic, the situation on the player forums presented a stark contrast to the alarmed NPCs.
Although many players were discussing the ongoing battles between the different factions, it didn't seem to have much personal impact on most of them.
Aside from a few players who had joined the Dark Faction, the majority were merely describing the progress of the battles.
Given that Storm City had the highest number of players, the details of its battle were the most thoroughly reported.
"The eastern wall of Storm City is under attack by demons. We can see that there aren't many city guards left, and I think the eastern wall will soon be breached. I'm not sure if I'll be able to evacuate to a safe place after the wall is broken through. But the teleportation point in Storm City should still be operational, right?"
