They had been meaning to leave to head East to the captain. Their departure was just a little… premature.
This meant there would be a lot left to luck, and they wouldn’t be able to protect everyone—but what else could they do?
The soldiers looked at each other, making subtle hand signals only those with military training could understand.
A moment later, Sean raised his spear high, stabbing it to the ground. The nearby roots grew, creating an area that trapped people’s feet.
At the same time, Ben hacked his sword, releasing a sharp wave of water along with it. Those who were trapped did not have the time to avoid it.
"AHHH!"
The blades disappeared as soon as they connected, leaving bloody gashes in their bodies. Some people fell directly, while some screamed in pain.
The soldiers darted past the small opening they injured created, heading straight to the territory.
Before they completely passed the enemies, Ryan activated his fire shield as insurance, and those who got caught in the wall screamed in pain.
"AHHH!"
"Take it off!"
"Cover me with soil! Cover me! AHHH!"
Fire from an elementalist was much more dangerous than normal fire!
"Don’t let them get inside, damnit!" Fang screamed. After all, they were beyond the level limit and could therefore not cause damage inside. They had to handle these men while they were outside, or they’d fail the mission!
They could not afford a failure at this junction!
The men cursed and ran after Ryan and the others, going beyond their limits. All the archers raised their bows, targeting the soldier’s backs.
Many of them were moving as they shot and, while their accuracy was compromised, the sheer number of them actually did land a few hits.
"AH!" Ben yelled as he felt an arrow embed on his arm. His curly hair drenched in sweat and he gritted his teeth, but his feet did not stop moving.
"Ben!"
"I’m fine! Continue running!" He yelled. Except for that time he got hit, his pace unaffected by the pain.
Ryan jumped back as he ran. Heaving a deep breath, he took a pause to send a fire ball up, hitting a few more arrows that were about to hit them.
Minko also took this chance to hit back, accurately hitting the necks of two archers—one dead and another high-leveled enough to survive—before he ran back home again.
Their hearts fell when they saw that slaves and thousands of forces from the enemies surrounding the walls, leaving no portion empty.
While the guards fought and the sentries managed to defend, many had already climbed up the areas with minimal sentries. There were definitely dozens of people who had already flowed in.
There were just so many of them—far beyond what a normal village would be capable of, especially not so long after the Extreme Weather.
Those villages really did not hold back on them. Based on the number of enemies right now, it seemed like they maximized their limits.
Being attacked by allies wasn’t a new thing, but it wasn’t common among villages.
However, in retrospect, it wasn’t much of a surprise either. Thanks to their presence and other things, Calming village was much more stable than others. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The night mobs weren’t a problem and they could also accompany citizens to forage outside (for a fee, of course, the selfless soldiers they used to be were long gone in favor of their lives).
As soon as they were a few meters away from the wall, Orz immediately created a temporary stair for them to jump on. He then used much of his mana to propel them inside the territory, going over the attacking mobs.
Those who tried to climb after them—trying to use them to get inside as well—fell smack on their backs.
BANG!
They landed roughly on one of the roofs, and they rolled down the roof and to the streets below.
