176 Chapter 175 (1/2)
Little by little, they were going back to Fortaleza. Despite the fact that they managed to kill thousands of monsters in two hours, they didn't slow down the horde even a single bit. As if their hard work had been for naught.
”This is not working...” Leon clenched his teeth.
”Well... despite that, we killed a lot of monsters,” Betty said.
”It can't be helped; your main strategy is to use the skeletons,” Sasha added. ”Let's not worry too much about this, and we still will see the railgun in action. So, all the hope is not gone.”
Leon nodded; he had no doubts that such a weapon could kill a few T-Rexes in a single shot. The problem was, they don't have time to prepare such a shot. They could only shoot several times, hoping that it would kill dozen of monsters every time. Another problem with the railgun was the fact that even after receiving the necessary mana, it had to wait five seconds to be used. So, at best, the survivors would be able to shoot a single every ten seconds. Still, there was nothing more than Leon could do, so he kept killing the monsters as much as he could.
Eventually, they finally were back to Fortaleza, and Leon could see in the distance his skeletons and the barricades the population created. Much to his surprise, a blue beam of energy passed nearby them at a fearsome speed and hit the horde of monsters. The range of destruction left Leon speechless. With a single shot, the energy beam killed hundred of monsters, ten of them were T-Rexes.
”Jesus Christ... how did I survive that?” Leon frowned.
”I was wondering the same thing...” Betty also frowned.
Leon soon recovered his focus and started to kill the monsters while retreating. Fortunately, Pedro kept shooting every ten seconds; everyone was working hard, so things were looking good. When they were five hundred meters away from the first line of defense, Leon decided to retreat and join the others, but first, he made his skeleton wizards shot water balls as much as possible. The monsters were still out of their range, but that was fine, things would get interesting later.
After joining the others, only Pedro kept shooting using the railgun. Still, that wasn't enough to slow down the monsters. Two minutes later, the horde finally entered the skeletons range, and Leon gave the order to his skeleton archers shot Thunder Arrows. The horde of monsters was stepping on the mud that the skeleton wizards created by using water balls so many times, and the skeleton archers electrocuted them with ease. The mud amplified the power of the thunder arrows, and Leon managed to stop the first line of the horde successfully. It was finally time for the survivors of the city to do their job, so Leon used War Cry to help them a little.
”Attack!” Pedro shouted.
