Empress Alfhild watched from the harbor as her father stood tall and strong, ordering the remaining soldiers to defend the entrance.
Ranks of soldiers with large shields blocked the way as they dug in, confident that they could hold the creatures back until the last citizen has boarded.
As the ghouls approached, archers sent volleys of arrows over the wall, striking them down. General Hallbjorn reached into his storage ring and retrieved a war axe, preparing for the impending battle.
Holding it high into the air as he gave his last speech, everyone in the harbor could hear, including the Empress and her royal guard.
