The rain was still pouring down heavily.
The woods between the Scorching River and Banlo City were about to turn into a swamp from the rain. The water on the flatlands had already reached their knees.
Destructive magic kept appearing across the city. The trash and debris had blocked off the sewers, and the city had flooded.
The streets had turned into water channels, making it difficult for people to walk across them.
There was no sign of civilians in the city. Most of them were hiding in the buildings or sent to the refugee camps by the Brown Army.
.
Those who were still roaming in the city were interrogated by the Brown Army. They were most likely executed in the end since the Brown Army did not want anyone from the Federation to sneak into their territory prior to the battle.
Sirens were going off continuously. The Brown Army was trying to take over the city, they were not planning to massacre every civilian. They were warning the people in the city to hide indoors and stay away from the streets.
Otherwise, they would be treated as an enemy!
As soon as the order was given, the streets were smeared with blood. Not everyone had listened to the instructions and stayed indoors.

“Idiot, are you asking for your death?
“Are you deaf? Did you not hear the warnings that kept telling you to stay indoors? You are lucky that you weren’t burned to death by a Fire Burst when you snuck across the street. Find a place to hide now!” the militia sergeant yelled.
A slender woman crawled to her feet on the street. “My brother, his legs were punctured by a steel reinforced bar. I have to find some medicine. Otherwise, he won’t survive the night,” the woman cried.
Her eyes were full of tears. She was soaked in rain too, like she had just crawled out of a pond.
The militia sergeant frowned.
He looked at the drug store across the street. It seemed like the woman was trying to get some medicine from it.
“Hide inside that bakery, and don’t come out!” the militia sergeant ordered her.
“But…”
“There’s no but! Go inside, or I’ll kill you now,” the militia sergeant yelled.
The woman quickly hid inside the bakery. She picked up some bread from the ground and munched on it. She was obviously starving.
She realized her brother had not eaten anything for some time too. She quickly found a filthy bag and took the bread from the shelves, wrapping them carefully with plastic so they would not be soaked in the rain.
Soaked bread was horrible to eat.
The woman suddenly heard footsteps as she finished up.
She subconsciously hid in a corner until she saw the militia sergeant coming inside the bakery with a white plastic bag, which held some medicine he had found in the drug store.
The militia sergeant shoved the plastic bag into the woman’s hands and yelled, “Your brother isn’t going to live if you are dead. Stop coming out on the streets. Do you understand?”
The skinny woman lifted her gaze and revealed her tearful eyes between her disheveled wet hair.
Beautiful Banlo City had turned into Hell on Earth in less than twelve hours. Her slender figure could barely withstand the pressure. She would rather have jumped into flames if she did not have her brother to take care of.

The woman grabbed the two bags and ran back to the building she was hiding in previously.
However, just as she reached the building, huge rocks were tossed into the air. They were the size of a large house.
