The speeches were interrupted by the sound of alarm bells being sounded all over the city.
At first, Karl thought that it might be about the people who had dropped dead due to the resurrection spell, but the alarms were continuing, and a secondary tone was introduced after the first few seconds, as if the situation had been upgraded.
The Councillor raised his voice. "Everyone, remain calm and prepare to defend yourself. The city is currently under attack, both internally and externally."
That did nothing at all to help calm down the crowds.
There were elderly and children gathered in the square. Both for their daily activities, and for the announcement that had just been made, so the "stay calm" recommendation was generally ignored.
Instead, everyone was trying to get the vulnerable ones, the children and the lower Ranked, to safe spots, while arranging for defence of those spots, but nobody in the area knew what the threat was yet.
