The sky was clear and littered with stars. In the deep night, sounds of battle frightened the residents of Rifross City.
Built on a valley about ten miles from the province's border, Rifross was a natural fortress due to its complicated terrain.

"How could there be so many?"
"Quick, evacuate everyone!"
