Standoff

The sky was overcast with heavy, dark clouds. 

On the usually bustling streets of Dawn City, an air of solemnity prevailed, and pedestrians were a rare sight. Various types of missile launchers, artillery, mortars, and other equipment were scattered across open spaces and streets.

The entire Dawn City was on high alert and in a state of readiness.

Dozens of helicopters continuously hovered in the airspace above Dawn City and its surroundings, their rotor blades producing deafening sounds. In addition, numerous drones took to the sky to gather intelligence both above the city and in more distant areas.

The city walls resembled a long dragon or a vast and majestic mountain range, perched on the boundless earth, exuding a profound and solemn atmosphere. Those with wavering resolve, standing before the city walls, could only feel awe and trepidation.
