News of the war spread throughout Horn Lizard Town, and a thick, suffocating tension permeated every corner.
Doors were closed.
Windows were shut.
The streets were empty.
Everywhere was terrifyingly quiet.
It was as if the entire town had been abandoned, with no living creature left inside. That alone showed how scared and terrified everyone living within the town was.
On the streets, the Horn Lizard Guards patrolled with full vigilance. They arrested anyone who looked suspicious.
What was suspicious?
Humans.
Every human walking on the streets was deemed a suspect and arrested without hesitation. Those who tried to reason with them were either injured or killed.
The Horn Lizard Guards no longer bothered distinguishing between innocent humans and Crimson Arc Guild members.
To them, every human had become a potential threat.
As for the other Beastmen, they received strict warnings to remain inside their homes and never come out.
A curfew.
One that no one dared violate.
