Most human civilization found in Aincrad takes the form of city-states, with elected mayors, along with assemblies and guards established in their laws. The guards are a fairly recent addition, focused on maintaining order within cities rather than acting as a military force. However, scouting outside the city limits remains an important job; monsters need to be kept from attacking built-up areas, so guard posts can be found scattered throughout the outer limits of the cities. However, the mortality rate for guards sent to these posts is high, and they tend to be deserted, existing only as mere symbols.

During combat, red arrows will appear around your character, pointing toward enemies that are about to attack. Keep an eye out for these warning indicators to avoid any off-screen surprises.
