The increase of Gnomes in the Azure Continent made most of the Cities vacant as most people were moving toward Red City. Red City became the gathering ground for the top experts coming to this area from the Aurora Continent.
Even though the Gnomes attacking were not Half God Plane Gnomes, their sheer numbers and the Azure Continents locals inability to fight against them made it very easy for them to sweep most of the Cities with ease, capturing hundreds of thousands of people in the space of only two months or so. The efforts of Grey's group and other groups like his own were able to curb the rampant display of the Gnomes, only for a limited time. The Azure Continent might not be as big as the Aurora Continent, but it was still millions of kilometers wide, making it impossible for them to cover all areas.
When Grey's group and the others groups set out, the Gnomes suddenly reduced their actions, only stepping out in regions they knew they would not encounter any struggles.
