The Dwarves and Elf Guards inside the city are completely unaware of what is happening. Some reports say the Tang Army is attacking the outskirts, while others say the Tang Army has already surrounded the city. In any case, everyone looks utterly perplexed.
Some people know it's impossible for the Tang Army to have already surrounded Saint Luo, but on the defense lines where gunfire was heard, the guards confidently swear that their positions are being attacked by the Tang Army.
These positions are all to the south or east of the city, which logically shouldn't be where the Tang Army troops are appearing.
Then, the Elf staff officers in the command center discovered their Commander, Vankelus, was missing. Even though everyone knew Vankelus was scheduled to go to the airfield to meet reinforcing Air Force pilots, the fact that he had not returned yet sparked much speculation.
