The little girl begs,” don’t cry”, as she gently strokes her mother’s hand. But she couldn’t console her mother. It was late evening and the small village of Cilia, one of the five villages “safe areas” of your kingdom is taking it’s last breath. Mary and her five children are among the four hundreds who had taken refuge here from the invading Myrians. Her husband was killed two days earlier, but she managed to save her three sons and two daughters. Around them now screams could be heard as people flee for their lives. She grabs her children and heads for the forest, melting into undergrowth as the slightest sound.
Terror at night: losing control.
South to Cilia is a farming village surrounded by thick woods. In the thick grove, Myrians observe the village avoiding any detection. Then without any warning, some five hundreds swarm in. Very few gets a chance to escape. Farms, mills, homes are burnt down. Even before the ashes of the burnt could cool down, the next village was attacked. The news of the attack reaches you. The Myrians have started to bar the way north . Somehow they only seem to invade at dark and your castle lying near to the edge of the sea is getting cornered. The Myrians, the forces that has massacred an estimated nine hundred people remain at large. Battle their open aggression.
