"Everyone, quickly take cover as we practiced during the danger drills,"
When Qiao Miya stepped outside, the alarms were already sounding. In fact, all the people of Xuanwu Territory had performed similar drills many times before, and throughout the territory, structures akin to bomb shelters had been constructed.
Given the physical capabilities of people in this world, building such underground structures was not exceedingly difficult.
Perhaps their numbers were not yet sufficient for everyone to take cover, but there was no issue in providing shelter for the population of the large cities. By now, everyone was hiding according to the methods practiced before.
Of course, Zhao Guang had not conducted the drills under the pretext of preparing for war.
The excuse used by Zhao Guang was to prepare for the sudden southward invasion by the Undead Mages from the North.
This excuse could be considered legitimate, as the folks from the North truly were a threat.
