To the warring parties, the special abilities of the Demon Race might have seemed mysterious to outsiders, but they certainly were no secret to the attackers from the Light Empire.
Given that these cyborgs managed to launch such a sudden, highly effective strike—even with the possibility of internal spies tipping off the enemy—it meant this was no ordinary skirmish. Unlike their previous half-hearted harassments outside the city that naturally fizzled out without real bloodshed, this assault was brutally serious. The moment the Light Empire's forces chose to breach the walls, set up kill zones in the Inner City, slaughter civilians, and loot cargo, the outcome of the night was set in stone. Either one side would face total defeat and crippling losses, or both would suffer a mutually assured, catastrophic destruction.
