The next morning, most of the high-ranking officials were gathered along with the Saviors to discuss exactly what they'd be doing about the demon forces. Thankfully, they'd paused their siege, but whatever they did tonight could be the end of Onyx entirely.
Ash, who was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open, sat across from Eliza, with Kaori and Keiko by her sides, as the three of them heard a commander go over a report of the previous night.
"Approximately sixty percent of the city was lost to the demons," the commander stated with a grim tone. "The demons pushed all the way to the factories, where the defenses managed to push them back. The Anomaly was halted by a barrage of crossbow bolts, but it was still largely unhurt. We... We expect that tonight, too much of the city could be lost to recover from. Even if we somehow won the battle, the damages would be irreparable."
