The orders from the king had reached Skyhigh City. The city lord of Bahu had asked for assistance in evacuating their citizens. The first line of defense, Marakseut City Fortress, convoyed to Skyhigh's reinforcements.
As Nicolas disseminated tasks one after another, another message arrived from the capital:
'As the three lines of defense were attacked at the same time, you will receive reinforcements from the nearby settlements. Protect the Turret Defense and fortresses. We will soon defeat the dragons.'
Nicolas knew that the kingdom's safety relied on them. The line of defense was crucial, as the Turret Defense was aligned with these cities, directly protecting against the southern location where the dragons came from.
While the world still didn't know how to deflect and defeat dragons, it was crucial to not let them destroy the lands controlled by humans. If they were pushed to one small piece of land, it would be over for Seraphis Kingdom.
