Preperations
The news about the demon armies' approach spread fast amongst the NPC's and the common players of Silver-Pine Barony, who were not affiliated with any guild.
As they saw the Duke's forces and the DarkSky guild's personnel marching towards the border in full gear, they deduced that the enemy might be on the move and hence a frenzy set in.
In response to this news, the NPCs began securing their homes, quietly gathering valuables into small trunks in-case the front lines fell and they needed to flee urgently.
Although they did remain hopeful that the human army would repel the demons, they still began preparing for the worst, as they felt unwilling to risk their families' safety if the conflict reached their doors.
