The group rushed forward. "Make way if you don't want to die!!" Eagle yelled, and sure enough, a number of people did do so.
The slaves were still heading forward, but those people didn't have much of a choice anymore.
The battle up front was almost cleaned up, with many of the enemies at a standstill with their own forces who were just focused on keeping them out rather than killing them.
At this point, it should not be long before the war was officially over.
Of course, there seemed to still be a few fights going on along the walls. Eagle could see some of the Golds still guarding their own sides of the wall, and the still-energized enemy mobs were focused behind the powerhouses, fighting with them.
Luckily or not, the gates were generally ignored as a point of entry because of the density of sentries and guards there, and this war was no exception.
They headed straight to the gates, mostly unhindered considering their levels. However, some enemies past level 30 Otto was fighting with noticed them when they were nearing the gates.
They were apparently tired of the standstill with him and decided to shift targets, not knowing there was someone similarly troublesome there.
BAM!
Before they could attack the tired Eagle and the children, a wall of earth appeared to block their way.
Ignus appeared in front and pushed them back. Otto was beyond the level cap, so he couldn't attack, but he could definitely assist their new helper.
So, using his wind abilities, Otto pushed the enemies targeting Eagle to the side, and Ignus immediately jumped in while they were imbalanced.
Anyway, the fight gave the rest of them a chance to get near the walls to yell at the guards on the battlement. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"It's us!" Eagle yelled. "Get a broatbulance immediately!!"
The guards saw them and partially opened the gates, allowing them in.
Interestingly, no enemy dared enter, which baffled a lot of people. The slaves were more or less settled and unconscious, while the rest—after realizing that the enemies weren't making lethal shots in this area anymore—did not bother to enter.
They were already too weak and injured anyway. They could not enter anymore nor could they head back all the way to where the array was.
As for the strongmen Ignus and Otto were dealing with, they had their hands full. As for the mob following after them, they wouldn't have reacted on time.
The newcomers followed after Eagle and the rest, gaping at the sight that greeted them.
They were also shocked to see lines of Broats travelling across the wide avenues, some going across the easements with many passengers (mostly injured), and some traversing the wide road.
A few moments later, a few were heading straight at them at the speed of a normal beast carriage.
They couldn't help but flinch instinctively, with a few almost gesturing to attack. Fortunately, they stopped in time and everyone saw what kind of cart the broat was pulling.
Basically, it was pulling a cart with two comfortable beds with raining at each side. There were small seats in between for either the emergency personnel or for the victims' companions. It could also be adjusted to add another place for less-injured victims between the beds, if needed.
"To the hospital!" Eagle yelled as he grabbed Chris, jumping into the cart, which quickly left everyone else in the dust.
On the other hand, the so-called Visitors were not Alterrans, so they found themselves with arrows pointed at them. Even Tanod and Tambai weren't recognized. A few months as beggars, especially after growing out their facial hair, really did make them unrecognizable.
