Meanwhile, the entirety of the Kingdom of Selizantar had already entered a state of emergency. The farmers of the nation fell into shock and panic as the very concept of evacuating for an incoming attack was foreign to them.
As one of the largest traders of agricultural products, they were accustomed to an entirely peaceful life. It had taken King Aramon quite some time to gather everybody and have them get to the shelters willingly.
There were even riots and mass hysteria that had occurred as a result of the incoming attacks. However, that was a problem for the king and Martial Artists of the Lower Realms; the Masters and Sages were far too busy dealing with the preparations for the attack.
The tacticians of both nations didn't have much time to refine their strategy. Thus, they ensured that the strategic complexity of the battle was as simplified as possible.
