At this time, the rest of the Golds and Gregor were still fighting along the walls.
Aside from those stationed at specific points of the walls, each powerhouse covered thousands of meters in its jurisdiction. Whenever an enemy got too close and the battlement guards had trouble handling them, they would do their best to rush over.
There was a new batch of mercenaries who had been trying to head inside.
According to the reports from various sectors, there were teams of mercenaries trying to enter through several points. They targeted the spots that didn't have a powerhouse at that time.
In those cases, if the flare was lit, they'd rush hundreds, if not thousands, of meters from where they stood. Considering several spots were targeted, they were understandably stretched thin even if the enemies this time were not as powerful as the ones before.
Even so, the arrival of people who could at least distract the Golds and Gregor was enough to inject enthusiasm to the tens of thousands of mobs still standing outside the wall. In turn, this caused the Alterrans even more trouble.
This had Fargo written all over it.
At the same time, this was really a desperate move.
Considering what they knew about the average number of mercenaries stationed in low-level Towns, this number of mercenaries was practically stripping the defenses of the home town.
Not to mention, they likely hired more from the Mercenary Hall, too, and that wouldn't have been cheap after what they had spent so far.
How many mercenaries could a territory hire in a war, anyway? The exact number was unclear, but it seemed like Basset Town was planning on stepping on a very thin line.
Well, it really was only a matter of time before Basset lost so it was difficult not to lay bare and give everything. It was better than losing half as slaves. To the people of Xeno, to be a slave was a fate worse than death. It was no surprise that they were desperate enough to do this.
Of course, the Lord's anger with Alterra probably had a factor in this decision too.
Anyway, the battle continued and it kept the Golds from helping out within the walls.
The Logistics team was also extremely busy. After so long, more and more injuries had to be taken back to the clinics, and people needed more and more potions to sustain the long fight.
Some of the battle pets have also been tapped to help with the logistics team. For now, they were much too weak to join direct battles at this level, but they were physically superior to humans, so they worked great under the logistics team for now.
For instance, some canine-types would have sled-full of supplies, or some cats would have bags on their backs to bring to those in need, using their feline flexibility to reach difficult places.
Most of the new deliveries were placed in safe areas near the easements. Many people would come here to refill and replenish, while making sure the supplies didn't get stolen or compromised by the enemies.
It wasn't that these battle pets had a master. Rather, only Fufi and Snow had so far. However, the Terran animals had also increased intelligence, so the stronger ones could be tapped to help out to a degree. For example, Mao's rolling panda friend. freёwebnoѵel.com
That said, as soon as they made a bond, most of the battle pets would temporarily move to the associate villages to train there. The mobs around Alterra were too dangerous and it was more lucrative for their growth to stay in villages.
