The city lords who used to bicker all day became less indifferent once they discovered their foundations were being shaken.
The situation was most severe in the two cities closest to the City of the Dead, where many citizens had already departed. Previously, the city lords hadn't felt it, but now they could, and immediately realized they had been affected.
Originally, everyone of the same level was about the same, but now their strength was noticeably weaker than others.
How could this not make the two of them angry? Although others hadn't been affected yet, they could sense that if citizens continued to dwindle, they would definitely be affected.
Now, unrest was boiling over in the major cities, with many having lost family members on the battlefield. If it were during normal times, it wouldn't be such a big deal due to fewer numbers, but now the number was just too high.
