Meanwhile, the tyrannical empire called the Pykkt has begun its onslaught as their mission for world domination becomes closer to achievement.

Now with enemy forces knocking down the city walls, the decision to abandon everything is a dire option as well as irreparable. They may have lost the battle, but not the war.
