177 Unbreakable Walls (1/2)

-North Grassland, South of Forest-

We are now moving towards the city of Order of Light. We haven't met any monsters on the way yet because most of them are hiding or joined the forces of the Frozen King. Now it's too dark outside. We heard horse footsteps coming closer to our area. It hasn't been long but they reached us in no time. Scy seems to have seen a familiar face.

”Long time no see, Lad. Are you guys going to help the Order of Light?” It's Drake and most of them are riding with their horses. They haven't used their horses last time maybe because the terrain is really bad for their mounts.

”Hello there, Drake. Yes, but defeating the Frozen King is our main goal this time.”With Scy and our main force, I do hope that we can really defeat him.

”If you ask me right now, I don't t really think that we can defeat them. It's just that I don't want to leave the Order of Light alone and we have to help.”It sounds like he was forced to help.

”Yeah, but I guess not all of you think the same,” Scy said. What does he mean?

”Yeah, I heard the other guilds decided to not join the fight. They are afraid of losing more manpower. I also heard from one of my sources that the total level loss of all players who died in battle reached almost twenty thousand levels. Just imagine the time and effort to get all that level.” Wow... That's just too much. No wonder they are now hiding their tails.

”That's higher than I expected. Their losses were too much for them to handle. We should make haste. We have to reach the place as soon as possible.” Scy suggested.

”Ok then. We're heading out first. Good luck and just be safe.” Drake is a good man. They moved out riding their horses.

-Order of Light North Gate-

After walking for ages, we reached the North Gate of the City but it's fully locked down. All the gates are fully shut. They were expecting the army of the enemy at the west part of the city the way to the Vanguards Stronghold.

”We stay here for now. I can feel the army getting closer.” Scy ordered. As we looked closely, it seems that most of the guilds abandoned the Order of Light.

The only members of Thirteen Gods that are here are Zeth, Aurora, Siegriel, and Drake. I can tell that they haven't really recovered yet from the last time and now they are facing larger army this time. It's their bad luck for being the closest largest city from Vanguards Stronghold. I also think that Siegriel and his guild members who died respawned to the City of Order of Light. All of the people of the Vanguards Stronghold also stayed here in the city.

After a while, we can now hear the march of the monsters and undead.

”TOOOOOT TOTOTOOOOT!” A sound of Horns echoed throughout the whole city.

”Aheeeem Aheeem... Fellow people of New Life Online. I know that all of you are really afraid because a large army is getting closer and closer but we are going to stop them! Our city will not fall from the hands of the monsters! ORDER OF LIGHT! LET THE GODDESS OF LIGHT HELP US! LET THERE BE LIGHT!”

Mari, who's the leader of the supports, raised her staff and with all of their power, the city of Order of Light started to glow! Too bright that it even hurt our eyes! As I regain my sight, I saw their city covered in the light! Supports, spellcasters and even the sprites combined, their power created a light that can shine throughout the whole world of New Life Online!

The forces of the enemy stopped after seeing the light! It was much more powerful than the last time! It's their home after all. Monsters, on the other hand, didn't stop and continued marching! Judging by their army last time, the enemy forces are five times larger which can reach around almost a million monsters and undead while our forces would be fifty thousand or less. It's like twenty against one...

”AAACKKKKK! AAAARRGGGG!” Cries of the undead army were heard all over the place! Wait! It looks like they were really prepared! The undead army perished to ashes after a long exposure from the light! What light power! In just that powerful release of light, half of their forces were destroyed!

”Hello it's me again, Aika, the most beautiful host of ”What's New in New Life Online”! I didn't really appear in the first clash because they told me that it's too dangerous but I'm the best reporter so I'm here after all! Now we're live at the city of Order of Light and they are kicking the butts of the undead army!” Aika... why are you even here...

”WOOOOOOH! WOOOOOH!” A lot of people started cheering after her appearance! They don't like to be on TV that much I guess...

”The monsters who survive that powerful wave of light are now rushing towards the city. This could be bad! Will the tall walls of the city withstand the power of the monsters?!” Aika is getting into the scene now.
