Chapter 512 - 512 513 In the Darkness

?Chapter 512: Chapter 513: In the Darkness Chapter 512: Chapter 513: In the Darkness In Plunderland, the extinguishing of the sun naturally led to widespread chaos throughout the city—yet before the chaos grew dangerous, the City-State Guards and the Guardians had timely intervened and controlled the situation.

The melodious chiming from the small chapel reverberated above the streets, with a power as if instilled to calm the soul and restore courage. Steampunk walkers clanked down alleys, broadcasts from the town hall issued new orders, gas lamps on either side of the street were urgently lit, and panic-stricken pedestrians did everything possible to rush back to the safety of their homes or dive into the nearest “Nightfall Shelters.”
