Although the twins could not be compared to official guards, they were not to be underestimated.
The twins had also fought together a lot, even back in Terran. Looks and gestures were enough for them to communicate.
The two of them sent barrages of attack to the enemy. From afar, it'd seem like they were careless and just desperate to attack, but the person on the other end of the attacks could say otherwise.
Luke's attacks were all clean and heavy. Although it lacked accuracy, it'd cause damage if not handled well. In contrast, Leo's hits were fast and sharp, hitting the enemy's weaknesses that inevitably revealed themselves as the enemy defended against his brother.
Furthermore, Leo was very smart, and he could control a few water spikes around him while he attacked with his weapon. He was hitting several spots at the same time, slowly chipping away at the man and his equipment's durability.
Luke's enemy growled as another wound found its way on him. Annoyed, his attacks become more and more hasty, fast, and strong.
The level difference was still there. When the enemy finally had had enough, he decided to risk it all in this fight.
Not caring how much mana he consumed so early on, he started using several skills in succession, pushing the twins back and even injuring them a bit.
The twins struggled and were pushed into the defense for a while.
CLACK!
Leon was pushed several meters back, helped up by an Alterran who was dealing with an enemy with his team.
Luke cursed at the man, but his eyes met with his twin's, and they simultaneously sparkled at an idea.
At this, Luke continued to defend against the enemy's barrage, gaining more and more injury along the way. The enemy did not notice that he changed directions and headed backwards towards his twin.
The enemy just thought he was being pushed back to a run. The aborigine smirked, feeling confident he was finally about to end the damned twins!
However, a few seconds later, the enemy in front of him disappeared. The momentum of his attacks was heavy and could no longer be stopped, and the ended up on another person instead.
"Ahhhh!"
The aborigine realized it was a teammate!!
Said teammate was now stabbed right at the shoulder, finally taking down the last durability of his armor. The Alterran guards smiled and ended the guy, while the twins didn't waste time and lunged at their distracted enemy.
They stabbed and sliced quickly as they could, finally taking him down.
"YAS!"
"OHYEAH!"
The two clapped their hands together proudly.
Slash!
"Good job," Ryo said, appearing next to them. An enemy fell down next to him, and judging by his position, he was about to attack Luke from the back.
"I guess twins really do have a secret language," he said. "But you're in the middle of the battlefield."
"Sorry, Sir!" They grinned, and then watched as the man waved his spear in a direction. They blinked, and saw a sharp water whip taking down a weakened enemy who was apparently trying to escape into one of the streets.
"Now… we take care of the rest of them."
…
A few more leaks appeared in time, however, especially with areas whose powerhouses had to be called to handle leaks elsewhere. They were still a bit outnumbered and out-leveled in the end, and the territory had more than eighteen thousand meters to guard. It was already remarkable that only a few breaches opened up after so long.
Of course, most of the leaks would be blocked quickly, but after a while, a cumulative of hundreds of enemies had managed to sneak in. Most learned to be low-key, as well, and they only popped up when their teammates appeared in the area.
