"Those monsters are coming again . "
The soldiers frowned as they looked over to the peaks where monsters filled the lands beneath .
"How many more are there? There's no end to them . "
"It's terrible . Oh, did you hear the rumor that those monsters were once humans?"
"What? That's impossible!"
"I'd rather die than become one of those . "
"It's not proven, but a friend of mine who works as a cleaner at the lab told me . "
The soldiers became grim . There was no smoke without fire and it was definite that something was up if there were such rumors .
"READY TO FIRE!"
"FIRE THE CANNON!"
Orders were given and the cannons began firing at the monsters . The entire peak trembled with explosions raining down on the countless monsters . After a while, when the explosions ceased, the peak was filled with smoke, only to be filled by another round of cannon fire .
Then, the last cannon fire sounded as all the monsters in the area were turned into dust . However, the soldiers knew that this wasn't the end .
"Ugh, I hate the smell of gunpowder . It's disgusting . "
"Isn't it better than the rotting smell of those monsters?"
"Yeah, that's true . "
"HEY! Stop chatting and start prepping . The big ones will be coming soon . "
"Ugh . "
The soldiers moaned at those words from the officer . Then, they witnessed giant monsters emerging through the smoke .
"Whoa, that's big . "
"How is that size even possible?" Jinpok and Joonb.u.m commented at the sheer size of the monster . Doral also frowned at the sight and spoke .
"Even the largest dinosaur isn't that big . Oh, but it might be as big as the long-necked one . "
The monster was faster than expected based on its size .
"Wow, I think that's over a hundred feet tall . "
The monster was larger than anyone had ever imagined or seen until now .
"Look! What is that?"
They then realized that there were smaller monsters at the bottom .
"Ugh, it's like they are adults and children . "
Even those monsters were over fifty feet, but they looked smaller compared to the giant one .
"This won't be easy this time!" Jinpok shouted with a smile and Doral frowned .
"Mmm," Joonb.u.m also agreed .
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
The soldiers all groaned and shouted in disbelief . It was fortunate for them that the other smaller monsters had already been wiped away by the cannons .
"Ready to fire!"
"Ready the cannons!"
The soldiers readied the cannons again, while the snipers were prepared to shoot . Everyone was surprised, but no one was afraid to fight .
As the large one took a step forward, the smaller ones charged towards the wall . The cannons fired and everyone started attacking . Cannons, catapults, and poison arrows all were fired without sparing anything . There were also snipers firing from all sides .
"Take cover!"
The smaller monsters began to ram into the wall, causing it to shake tremendously . The monsters also threw large rocks and trees over the wall .
"Fire- ARGH!"
The soldiers tried to dodge, but there were some who were caught in those attacks .
"Dammit!" Jinpok cursed as he took one last shot with the sniper rifle before he threw it on the ground and picked up the M60 next to it . He started firing the automatic rifle without restraint .
"AAARGH!"
"POTION!"
"MEDIC! OVER HERE!"
Soldiers shouted from everywhere for help with the wounded, while medics with the Red Cross mark on their chests quickly ran toward them to help .
Even then the attacks did not stop and all firepower was focused on the largest monster .
"WHAT!"
The monster, however, did not even seem to be slightly injured . It had burns and cuts all over its body, but they weren't critical or serious enough to stop or kill it .
"That one's tough," Doral said as he shook his head . The monster roared in rage and began to move faster, kicking away the smaller monsters in its path .
"It's coming!"
"RUN!"
The signal horns for retreating were sounded .
"We can't block that attack! Get away!" Jinpok shouted as he pulled the trigger on the rifle . The cannons fired again as the monster quickly approached the wall . The horn signaling to retreat kept repeating, but only a handful of soldiers were retreating .
"Your Majesty! You must flee!"
"Please!"
The Ainos Guards shouted at Joonb.u.m . It was the first time he had faced such a crisis in this war . The reason he was always at the forefront in fights was because he believed in his advanced weapons and his improved physical traits, but not this time . The monster was charging towards the wall, and it was evident that it would destroy the wall the moment it hit .
