Whoosh!

"AHHH!" The man gasped as he felt an arrow hit the middle of his neck, plucking his spine. He fell down and shook.

"Digong!!" the teammates yelled, but arrows—now from different areas— whooshed in and hit more people. This time, it wasn't just Kimmy, but other houses (evacuation houses tended to be grouped together, too) had also started shooting.

At this, no one cared about Digong's life and death anymore and they tried finding hiding places. However, this was the area of houses that were occupied by groups of people so they could not go inside any of the houses.

While their defense equipment cracked, some arrows embedded into them, some could only flush their bodies against the walls and hide under the balcony to limit visibility to them. Sure enough, the archers did focus on the easier targets.

Many people cursed. If they stayed, people in houses would target them, if they headed to the open areas, they'd be vulnerable to the sentries.

Then, these people decided to just climb up the houses—after all, after a certain level, it wasn't difficult to just jump up the balcony. However, these people would be specifically targeted, which was why no one had done it so far.

At this, someone bellowed. "OI! SOME GET INSIDE BALCONIES! DO YOU THINK THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SHOOT DOWN ALL OF US?!" one said, though he was snugly hiding as much as he could under the balcony.

He was right, though. If all of them went up, then it'd be easier to deal with these people so much weaker than they were, but who would do it first? That was practically volunteering to be the shield.

However, their few seconds of delay caused by them waiting for others was enough for the guard team to arrive.

The guard team gave them no more time to react, immediately handling them.

"AHHH!"

"GAHH!"

Slash! Bang!

While fights went on around him, Digong was laying on the floor face first. His eyes were open and his mouth was, croaking, trying to utter something, but he was in too much pain.

Unfortunately for him, the arrowheads were poisoned.

Kimmy specially bought it from Miss Althea after paying a lot.

At some point, Digong, amidst the chaos, was kicked while his team was escaping here and there. He ended up rolling nearer Kimmy's house.

He was stepped on, but he couldn't move, and he was also feeling the burning of his insides. He groaned, and he could only stay still even as he was kicked around, slowly losing consciousness under the intense pain.

Then he was kicked again. This time, near the walls. He didn't even hear footsteps approaching him until they were right next to him.

He used his remaining energy to look up, and his eyes widened when he saw who it was.

And then he was no more.

…

The evacuation houses (also known as communal hiding spaces) were concentrated in areas either near the walls, or near the center.

The territory was not small and the population weren't uniformly strong (so it was impossible for every house to safely have an occupant to guard it). Further, this would help the guards have more targeted places to head to if a flare were lit up.
