Chapter 120: Taking Back (5)
Jori's group was only guarding the right side of the formation, while the old man's group was guarding all the other sides. Without hesitation, they began to move.
Those guys were rather big, so Rain had a hard time seeing the enemies approaching. Naturally, the enemies used their golems first to block their path, but Rain made their trip by summoning their earth magic and creating irregular elevations or holes on the battlefield. The old man and his party had an easy time destroying them thanks to it.
"Don't stop. Keep charging!" The old man with a mustache said.
While those guys were armed with all sorts of weapons like spears, axes, and hammers, they still were able to swing them around while staying close to their allies. The old man had a bastard sword that was powerful enough to split the golems in half, and since he was in the front, the group began to approach the walls rather fast.
Several soldiers began to approach them from behind to follow and offer them support, but they had a hard time keeping up thanks to the enemies firing Bone bolts... Rain was doing her best to block them, but she could only block so many of them.
The golems began to get too close to the group since they were only one hundred meters from the walls as well. The group stopped moving to face them since they couldn't approach the walls and get surrounded by them. Still, Rain jumped on the shoulders of the old man and quickly looked around, recognizing the enemies controlling the beasts.
Before the old man could complain, Rain bombarded the enemies with Wind Bullets and made them fall left and right. The golems quickly followed them.
"... Keep charging and spread the damage!" The old man said. "Don't let anyone escape!"
The few enemies on the walls and the ones stationed outside were the only ones protecting that side.
"The enemies are dispersing... we took over the west side of the wall," the old man's mustache declared. "Still, our allies are still fighting on the first side; we will help them as soon as all of our allies cross the gate here."
That didn't give the group much time to rest or recover mana. Still, they looked determined to keep going. Liss and Terra would be in a bind with much mana, but they quickly sat down and began to meditate.
Before long, all of the guys on that side of the area had entered the city, and Branden also came. He had some potions with him so that he wouldn't be unprotected. Still, it was dangerous for him to stay in the front line from now on.
"The enemies will try to regroup on the other side of the city, but it will take a while since they sealed all of the gates, our job is to prevent that from happening and then attack the other targets inside," Branden declared. "Kill all of them, and don't spare anyone. Only spare the humans who have dropped their weapons and if they aren't dirty with blood."
Branden was showing a vicious look. It was finally time to make the enemies pay for all those years that they had been far away from home and all the losses that they had. Rain was calm because he didn't lose as much as Branden, but his cousin was pissed like never before.
In times of war, it wasn't weird to keep some prisoners, but Branden didn't want that... and maybe that anger inside him was what made him take those risks of being on the frontline.
In any case, after ten minutes, the group began to move again, and they only left the heavily wounded soldiers behind to guard the fallen Western gate... it was time to finish that battle once and for all.
