The two hundred people entering the city walked on the pitch-black streets, with no lights around, only the sound of footsteps echoing on the street.
The eerie silence was unsettling.
The outpost leader suspiciously scanned the surroundings and suddenly felt a chilling sensation along his back.
Something was off! Although Oro Town was a small border town, it was still an important trade node. How could there be no lights at night? There's an ambush!
He drew his pistol, ready to fire a shot to alert others, when a flying knife whizzed toward him.
He screamed in agony, his wrist severed, as the pistol and hand hit the ground simultaneously.
Accompanying his scream, orderly gunfire erupted around him, followed by intense explosions.
The dull sound of the city gates closing pronounced the death sentence for those two hundred men.
Despite their strenuous resistance, it was futile against the defender's superior firepower, favorable terrain, and pre-arranged ambush.
