198 Sieging the Fallen Outpos (1/2)

...…

Roar!

Boom!

The battle in front of the fallen Thirteenth Outpost was starting to intensify as the time goes by. And after a whole hour of battle, the combined team of S.Tigris' group and Eternal Hope adventurer team, was starting to feel the pressure from the corrupted monsters.

”D*mn! Is it just me, or these monsters are really getting stronger and stronger as the time goes by?” said by one of the members of S.Tigris Group. This guy was a Human Guardian and was placed on the very front of the team.

”I am not sure if they are really getting stronger or just because of we are getting tired of this prolonged battle. How much time had passed?” said by the Human Swordsmaster beside him as he swing his greatsword to hacked the monster in front of the former guy.

”An hour maybe? I don't know what is Black Hand thinking, but all we are doing is just to remain on our spots and hold these monsters; we are not even moving forward. I know that defending is much easier than attacking, but if we keep doing this way, forget clearing the quest, we may not even able to get pass that wall in the distance,” said by the other guy that was together with the previous two, and have a WolfKin and Master Berserker as his race and class.

….

At the same moment, the guys in that belonged to Eternal Hope Adventurer Team were also thinking the same thing.

”What the heck is the Commander thinking? Letting us follow that guy's orders? I admit that he has some good reputation under his belt, but what he is doing now is obviously useless. We can't do anything this way. We might even die on this,” said by a Human Shield Warrior on the frontlines.

”Heh! What we can do? We are already on this mess, actually we shouldn't have accepted this offer in the first place. See? We are obviously in the disadvantage so continuing this is quite pointless,” said by a Human Dual-Blader as he threw a twin slash at the monster in front the Shield Warrior.

Then a LionKin Master Berserker suddenly chimed in on their conversation and said. ”How about you guys put a double effort on these monsters instead of chatting with each other? If you have some extra energy to talk, then at least kill as many monsters as you can. That way, we might even lessen the numbers of these guys,” while killing off the monster in front of the previous two guys.

…

Meanwhile, the man that was being questioned by those guys, was fully aware at their current situation.

'Tsk! Strengthening these monsters bit by bit is going to put more and more pressure on us as the time goes by. What's more, they are going to weaken us slowly if this continue on happening; the concentration of the guys is also going to slowly deteriorate as more time passes,' thought by Black Hand to himself as he observed the whole battlefield.

'If we pick up the pace a little then we may be able to see if we can lessen their numbers. We may also be able to force the necromancers of the Undying Guild to show themselves. That way, the thief-related classes will be able to join the battle and lessen the mental pressure of the team by not getting wary of the hidden threats.'

And after some careful thinking, Black Hand decided to hasten their progress. 'If that was the case, then let us use the basic 'Five-Class Tactics' then.'

Then Black Hand raise his staff and said, ”Support group, do a team dedicated support! Range players, do a focus targeting.”

And since these guys were some expert players, they were able to understand that simple command in an instant and respond on it almost immediately.

But to make things a little faster, the head-players assigned to lead those groups, started to give out the chained orders.

'So, he still chose to hasten the progress in the end,' thought Audrey to herself as she gave out her commands. ”Team A, go take the right side. Team B, you guys will be taking the left side. Team C and D, remain on standby and wait to take over them at any given time!”

Then the support groups started making their moves. The Priest and Oracle related Classes started to separate with each other and took a team from the frontlines that they were going to give their supports. The first group of Shamans, on the other hand, divided themselves into two smaller groups and proceed to the frontlines before setting up some totems on the left and right side respectively.

At the same time, Gino was also giving out his instructions. ”Squad 1, you guys start with right. Squad 2, you will be dealing with the left side. Squad 3 and 4, the two of you will be following after their lead!”

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Engk! Engk! Engk!

Then the reloading of guns and pulling of bowstrings could be heard after Gino had given out those orders.

And on the next moment, the next command came after it almost instantly. ”Take aim! Ready! Fire!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thwang! Thwang! Thwang!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And on the next instant, the sound of a bullet being released from the barrel of the guns, resounded on the battlefield together with the sounds of the vibrating bowstrings after releasing an arrow from the bows.

After that, a bunch of whistling sounds of the air could also be heard when the bullets and the arrows were traveling in the air, toward the corrupted monsters in the distance.

And since those shots were a focus firing, the incoming monsters that were hit by those bullets and arrows fell on the ground one by one.
