For most civilians, if a city-state fell, there was only one outcome—
They would perish together with it.
Compared to an awakener, the "value" of an ordinary civilian was even less than that of a rare monster.
Rodri City had already lost any possibility of escape. The four gates—east, west, south, and north—were completely surrounded by monsters.
Right now, there was only one way out: the teleportation array inside the city-state.
But the problem was—there was only one array, while the population numbered in the tens of millions!
Getting everyone out was simply unrealistic.
Even so, huge numbers of civilians were still selling off everything they owned, desperate to trade it for a single chance to use the teleportation array.
In truth, everyone understood in their hearts—they would never get their turn.
Because those noble lords were already dragging their families along, using the array to flee Rodri City.
