Thoren stopped in front of the Muster Ground's massive gate, his eyes betraying no expression.
The gate itself was enormous, built from thick reinforced metal and backed by several layers of defensive structure.
Tall walls stretched in both directions until they disappeared into the distance with watchtowers standing at regular intervals along the perimeter.
This was the heart of Suncrest City's military.
Hundreds of soldiers moved along the walls. Heavy weapons occupied several defensive positions, soldiers standing ready at their posts. Even in the middle of the current crisis, the military ground was quiet and in order.
It was as if the chaos was not happening in the same city as the Muster Ground.
In front of the gate stood several soldiers armed to the teeth, weapons already loaded. Their expressions grave as they stared at Thoren.
A few had their hands drift subconsciously toward the triggers.
They had all received the reports.
