A few hours after the reinforcements arrived at Fort Bender, the very thing that the major forces of the world had been dreading finally came knocking on their doors.
The sky turned red and a wind picked up. Warnings were issued in all major settlements around the world. The citizens of kingdoms were herded into shelters. Those in villages on the outskirts who had not moved to the cities or more protected towns could do little but seek shelter in their homes.
The soldiers of Empires and Kingdoms manned their posts with hardened expressions on their faces. They were facing the crisis of their lives. Whatever happened here would be written down in history and would make this eternal.
The red sky reflected down on the world, giving it an edge. People who saw this all feared for themselves.
