Aria And Will (2013)
“To Wilhelm and to all the vampires standing over the walls, everything seemed as bright as it was by daylight. It was the same for demons, of course. The Guard had known the attack would come ever since the weather forecast had warned of a beautiful night.
The first wave came from the north just after midnight. It took the demons a little more than four hours to trot down from the mountain. The trip did not even begin to tire them. The Guard's best archers greeted them with its traditional voll...ey of arrows. A few demons fell; the rest of them marched on without slowing for an instant. They would reach the walls quickly, if they weren't stopped. The Guard would stop them—it had to.
Behind the walls, the first three streets had been evacuated. Wilhelm and Bergsen had argued about it again. Civilians had long since tired of the repeated evacuations, and it was more difficult each time to get their cooperation. Bergsen wanted to permanently evacuate these streets and declare them too dangerous for anyone to be there after nightfall; every time he raised the issue, Wilhelm predicted that such a decision would wreak havoc on the city.MoreLess
