Bret was starting to have a headache. It had been days now, and the refugees just kept coming in. The number of reglios that were also hiding in the shadows had also increased by a lot. He had no idea what the reglios were trying to achieve after so many of them had died as soon as they entered the city. It was as if they were sending their own in just to die.

“This makes no fucking sense!” Bret yelled out as another reglios turned to ash. He looked out over the line of refugees and really wanted to yell out: ‘All you fucking reglios who are hiding in the shadows of the people here. Are you really this fucking stupid that you can not even figure out that you can not use the shadows to enter our city and live!?’

But he was smart enough not to say anything. This was because if he did, he would be giving up an easy way to get rid of tons of reglios, and second, if they decided to go on a rampage outside the city, it would cost the lives of many innocent lives. Scratching his head in frustration, Bret looked at the long line of different races coming in, many of which were new races. Humans seemed to be the minority, sadly.

“Sir Bret!” Ancient Tamal suddenly landed on the top of the wall.

“Ancient Tamal, is there an issue?” Bret was hoping there were no more problems. It was rare for this old man covered in 2d anime character merch from head to toe to leave his small shop.

“The other ancient of my clan is about to appear.” Ancient Tamal replied.

Sure enough, not even a few seconds later, outside the gates about a hundred feet away, a group of people suddenly appeared. There were at least a few thousand of them. But the issue was…. Bret frowned as he saw the group. “Only women, children, and elderly, along with a few soldiers and some haughty looking youths. Just what the fuck is going on!?”

“Ancient Hans! Why are you here?” Even Ancient Tamal did not quite understand why he had suddenly appeared with so many.

“Ancient Tamal, good you are here…. We have come to ask to allow them to enter as refugees….” Ancient Hans lowered his head. He felt humiliated that he had to ask this but he had no choice. This was the only way to allow the clan to keep going.

“Just what is happening!?” Ancient Tamal did not understand. Why would they need to take in so many refugees? It was not like the clan was so weak that they would have to use the last option scenario.

“I do not have time to explain. I will let Princess Genie Explain….” With this, Ancient Hans disappeared. He had to quickly return to give back up to the king.

Ancient Tamal frowned. The old man just left without a word, and he himself had no power within the city. He did not know what to say. It was then that a voice came from behind him. “Old man, let Genie in. The rest can wait outside until we have an understanding of what is going on. Better yet, have them line up and wait with the other refugees. We do not give anyone special treatment. Destiny City is about equality.”

Ancient Tamal turned to see Faana standing there glaring at the other dragonic standing outside the gates. He also agreed with what she said. Destiny City was not a city that would play favorites or give special treatment to a single race. “As command Madam Faana.”

After bowing to Faana, he turned towards Princess Genie and said: “Little Genie pass through the gate, then come up here. We will discuss what is going on.”

Bret looked at the dragonic that had just showed up and felt it was quite ironic that such a day had actually come. The race that had destroyed the old world was now refugees themselves after being destroyed by another race.

A few minutes later, the group of three people were sitting in a small room inside the guard station just inside the gates. “So tell me, Genie, why are you and the rest of the princes and princesses here, along with all the women and children of our clan?”

“The reglios attacked in the thousands. Some of which began using massive attacks to wipe out huge chunks of the newly built city and also taking as many of our clan members with them. The enemy does not fight conventionally. They use these suicide attacks to kill as many as possible.

“The First Brother and First Sister were sent to the elven clan to hide while the rest of us were sent here. He wanted them to make pure blooded children to carry the royal line. We are under orders to comply with all rules of Destiny City. Please allow us to stay.” Genie bowed her head. She had no choice. This was for the survival of her clan.

“That old man of yours is shrewd. Do you not think it is strange that only Trien and his sister were sent to the elven clan? Do you think they will have a good life there?” Ancient Tamal asked, causing Genie to shake her head. She did not understand what he meant.

“The answer is simple…. If the dragonic fell, that meant that the elven clan would fall as well to this enemy. At the same time, he wanted to get rid of the eyesore in front of him. If your first bother and sister are in a place that will eventually fall, he is not expecting them to give birth to anything. I am sure they are not having an easy time as it is now. Just as the dragonic had spies within the elven clan, they too had spies within ours. They will already know something is up and will probably make the two of them slaves, if not kill them both outright. ” Ancient Tamal was no fool. He knew the dragonic king hated what his son and daughter were doing.
