I was in the middle of killing a Skeletron when this invasion message popped up. I just looked at it for about 3 seconds in horror, died, and went on to prepare. I went 'east' which I thought was to the right, but never found them. I am doubting whether they actually march in or simply spawn immediately when the message that they arrived appears. I setup a large flat straightaway near my base, and they all seemed to spawn there rather than near my base, and they came in both directions. My base is a tower, so there was no real way for them to get past it besides going straight through, but the doors were both intact and closed, and all NPCs were unharmed. This indicates that it's best to make a 'fighting ground' if you wish to have an unharmed base, but this is purely speculation.
