Most of the defense forces sent out from Dark Night Tower to quell the unrest had already left. Only twenty-four Night God Soldiers remained, patrolling Dark Night Plaza alongside several guard units.
Before long, however, the drones overhead detected a problem and reported it.
"Well-equipped squad detected."
The alert reached their respective Terminals along with the information.

There aren't enough of them for a frontal battle, but they're all elites. In theory, they'd only deploy with at least one reasonably strong S-Rank hero leading them."
