Although the city was preparing for the biggest incursion it had ever seen since the arrival, most citizens went about their life without even noticing. Seeing rangers, soldiers and hunters rushing everywhere was not unusual, it happened so often they didn't even question it and only complained when it resulted in a traffic jam or a road block that prevented them from getting to their works on time.
Watching the city functioning like nothing happened in spites of the horrifying threat at their doors made Uriel wonder how many times had something like that happened before without him even noticing and it confirmed his theory that the reason why the government never informed the citizens about such matters was to keep order.
