At the very same moment that Nova's Daskhollow Base was completely swallowed by darkness, the Imperial Capital was struck by a full-scale assault from the monster horde.

Morning Star's highest commander, Logan, was even preparing to personally deploy to the front lines outside the Imperial Capital.
Naturally, the turmoil at headquarters also disturbed Luca.
In his sleep, he vaguely heard the sounds of shouting and movement from outside.
"This situation must be a disaster," Luca murmured to himself with his eyes still closed.
