In the adventurers guild, an absentminded Erika could be seen sitting down.

'Three months ago those two came here. Now the two of them just went away a week ago. Haa.... Abruptly leaving and not even saying where they were going and left with a 'take care'. Lana told me that and that boy didn't even come to say goodbye. Kenshin huh? Now that I think about it, Lana was almost always doing requests for the guild. Whenever I asked her where Kenshin was, she told me he was currently doing a project at the smiths workshop. I wonder if he's making something? The only time I saw him again, after we first met, was at the merchants guild at the annual weekly meet-'

While she was in her own world, the door of the guild was opened with a swing making a huge bang interrupting her thoughts.

"Trouble!"

The female receptionists called out to the guild master who was on the first floor.

All heads in the guild turned towards her including Erica.

"Alice, what is it, why are you so lou-" (Guild Master)

"Wi-Windcoast city has been invaded!" (Alice)

Windcoast city, North from this place and as its name suggests it borders near the sea that separates the Human continent and the Vampire continent.

Eyes were wide open around the guild and not one word leaked out of their mouths as they eyed the girl as if saying 'go on'.

"There's been an order from the capital saying we need to prepare for war and await more orders!" (Alice)

When she finished what she wanted to say, it was as if it was the trigger to release what was building up in them, the adventurers built up a commotion.

Some angry, sad, frightened, some fought and some ran.

Meanwhile the guild master was silent, on the chair staring at the envelope with royal seal that was given to him by Alice.

Reading all of it, it seems that the invasion happened around three weeks ago.

The invasion lasted only two days.

It was a one sided battle, even though the numerical and environmental advantages were on Windcoast cities side, the city walls that were over 20 meters high were breached during the first wave.

Further on, it said that after the take over, the invaders used the messenger hawks of the city to send a letter to the capital saying in summary in the end of the message to "Bow down to us, your new masters or face the extinction of your kind".

The Vampires and Humans hadn't had any contact for nearly a century after the two sides abruptly cut off access to each other.

They didn't know much about the vampire continent except vague information from countries that were fighting them.

Currently the information humanity had on the Vampires had were from POW or prisoners of war that were also enemies of the Vampire continent.

Those were the Kats, a humanoid race from the Kat continent south east of the vampire continent.

Though tinier compared to the size of personnel the Kats send to fight the vampire continent, there is still a war fought between the two sides concerning unexplored regions in the sea seperating the two superpowers.

An unknown enemy that had the capability to take over a huge city like Windcoast in just one attack.

The guild master thought it futile to go against such a force but when he read what was put up near the end of the message, a glimmer of hope could be seen in his eyes.

'The Heroes have been deployed' was what it said.
