At the headquarters of the Lucien Clan, the Lucien Castle, sorcerers of the Lucien, Brander and Sariel Clans received their final instructions as they all headed out towards different areas around Anori City. The event was termed the Crimson Extermination Operation and the task force was made up of the Apprentice Sorcerers from the three clans.
Based on their directions, the sorcerers were headed towards the locations of the resource sites outside the city. As for the people living within the city, they had long gone into hiding.
The threat of the Crimson Oath cult was too great. Even mortals had to flee when they met them. The members of the cult were abnormally aggressive and bloodthirsty. They had no inhibitions about killing mortals and sorcerers alike. Hence for the past month, trade and human activity in the city had come to a standstill.
