Anyway, chaos ensued with the battles of hundreds of people through the streets, with some already entering the buildings. The cowardly citizens screamed and hid, with the guards yelling at them to help out, though most didn’t dare after being easily knocked out by the enemy.
The Alterans really used the ’terrain’ well, hiding behind sturdy system walls, hiding in houses, and making traps and ambushing them in alleys.
These alleys were often places a lot of the guards would drag women in to have ’public’ fun—but now it would be the places of their deaths.
Elements and Class D weapons abounded. They had teamwork and also skills. Even if they were outnumbered, they’d definitely get out of it in one piece!
They also had good equipment that Fargo’s level E weapons and their Terran guns had minimal effect on the enemies!
The Fargo guards were all very depressed. Why were these people so strong?
What’s more, it wasn’t that the Alterans didn’t get injured. With the quantity differences, of course there were! There were plenty of cases where they’d land shots, or stabs, or both!
But… they seemed to have so many healing potions! And such good ones, too!
The Alterans wouldn’t abandon their teammates either. Those with gravely injured ones would disappear somewhere and they had a feeling they were getting treated!
More and more Alterans were entering and joining the ’hunting’ while Fargo’s hundreds guards were slowly being chipped off, bit by bit, and it wouldn’t be long for them to overcome this place!
This chaos was what Sen, the leading man within the inner walls, ran into.
"How are they filing in so quickly?!" Sen asked, looking around with furrowed eyebrows.
It wasn’t easy to find their location with all the chaos. The enemies were filing in and there should be at least a hundred in their area now!
His eyes tried to find the pattern and pointed to an area. "Go check it out!"
"Yes, sir!"
And the rest of them tried to capture and kill whoever they could. However, they were always in teams. Even if they were outnumbered, they were tight and had each others’ backs. If someone was rendered disabled, the teammates would guard, fight, and move together until they found a good hiding spot.
The scouts returned with a bloodied head, apparently hit by a stray stone floating. "We found it sir!" he said, taking them through a couple of streets. There!"
Sen frowned and followed the location and his eyes widened at the sight.
"What!!"
There was an arch over the walls where there was no sentry.
Sen’s eyes sharpened. System Walls were unscalable, so these bastards decided to go over it?!
And it was like a bridge, allowing people to pile inside!
"Go! Send more guards to the other side, quickly! We can’t let anymore people enter!" He yelled, pulling out his weapon to try and demolish the damn thing. His men also tried doing the same, but how could the Alterans let them do so?
Those who were filing in immediately had their weapons out to defend the slide. Sen had no choice but to stop to defend themselves.
When he saw his team struggling with the barrage of attacks, also being taken down bit by bit, he cursed.
He yelled at the houses. "PEOPLE! GO ATTACK THE TRESSPASSERS! DO YOU WANT TO BE SLAVES?!"
