He doesn’t drink coffee

"What is going on?"

Theo came out of Roudia along with half of the soldiers and all his friends. 

Almost everyone was staring up. 

Towards the sky. 

Soldiers, civilians, children-

Everyone.

The sun was rising and the Sahallas had work to do. 

But they all just stared at the sky. 

At those large things flying- coming down. 

Work could wait.

Sizzy touched her head and paused for a few seconds before- "They've jammed the transmissions. So, it is impossible to connect with the warpnet."

Theo could confirm as much. After all, even his expensive package didn't get any signal. 

Something very bad was happening and he knew it. 

"Then what-"

"Those are the ships belonging to a regent-" John mumbled. 

"They might be Lord Boran's," Voli said. "He was coming here, remember?"
