“Fire!”

“Fire!”

“Fire!!!”

The orders were raining down, and the shoutings of beasts were mixed with humans. There were more than tens of thousand monsters marching towards the sole building in the middle of nothing, but luckily, the walls of the stronghold were stronger than any of those monsters could topple easily.

There were built-in ballistas and gun turrets on the walls. All manned up and firing without a stop.

The team stationed at the top of the hill was still on hold. Lucy ordered them to wait until all monsters passed by. Then they would start to fire from their behinds to slot them in.

Lucy, with a sword in hand and cape behind her waving, was watching over the battlefield. She looked dashing and solemn. She wanted to rush forward and start the massacre but as the commander, she had to stay behind and give orders.

“What are their answers?” She asked, her eyes fastened on the battlefield.

“They answered negatively. They are still unsure if there is another group of monsters targeting them. So they will not come to our aid.”

“Damn them! Isn’t it certain? Monsters are here!” Lucy shouted in anger. The aide looked frightened and bowed her head.

“Stampedes in G-Circle are rare. Two of them at the same time is virtually impossible! They are just making excuses!”

“Here come the Wall Crushers!” A Captain shouted from the top of the watchtower. Monsters were not organized in nature but whenever a stampede occurred, they would gather together just like an army. Their formations would usually be; Fodders, who would charge blindly to test the stronghold. Wall Crushers, big monsters who could topple down the walls. Chargers, monsters who can battle better than fodders but are still small in body size. After chargers tire out the humans, Experts would attack from all sides to kill the worn-out humans.

Of course, these distinctions weren’t always accurate. In F-Circle, there were various abilities monsters possessed. Depending on their ultimates, monsters could form assassin teams, scouting teams, healing teams, and so on.

But in G-Circle, monsters had no such abilities. Powers were straightforward and their thinking capabilities were limited. Except for the Supreme Leader, who would usually be the monster that pioneered the stampede in the first place, the rest of the monster would only blindly charge.

But some of these teams could still show up. For example, the first wave consisted of fodders charged blindly to die. The avian monsters were watching from the sky and could see the impossibility of the situation, thus the wall crushers had been summoned.

“Gigantelopes?” Lucy looked horrified. Gigantelopes were giant antelope-like monsters with diamond-hard antlers. They were rare and valuable because of their antlers and orb dropping from them. Their orbs would turn into armor, and its defensive power was one of the best in the G-Circle. It could even defend against Frenzy-Rank Low-Tier monsters.

But they were too rare and had no permanent nest. They could only be chanced upon and never sought after. But now, Lucy was gazing at 4 of them charging directly towards the walls.

“Walls will hold, let them charge closer and kill them. If they drop any armor, it will be quite helpful in this battle.” Lucy ordered. The aide nodded and conveyed the order. Behind the Gigantelopes, were other gigantic monsters resembling mammoths, lizards, and cats.

“Kill the other wall crushers! Let Gigantelopes approach!” Captain shouted. Ballistas and turrets fired to kill the gigantic monster charging. A bullet pierced through the eye of a giant cat, and the beast fell down with a cry.

A giant arrow whistled through the air and fastened upon the heart of a giant mammoth. Although the ballista and the arrow were strong, the monster’s hairs were harder than steel and defended against the arrow.

Bullet after bullet, arrow after arrow flew through the air and attacked the approaching monsters. Killing them one by one.

A team made of hunters with the most destructive powers was staying behind a wall. The wall had several holes where the people waiting could fire from.

“Attack now!” The person in charge lowered his arm, and people waiting started to charge up their powers. Lightning, Fire, Wind, and several other elements formed giant weapons to attack the four Gigantelopes.

When clashed, the elements mixed together to create even deadlier blows. Lightning mixed with Fire and formed an explosion. It caused the giant beast to bleed from 7 orifices.

A water column, heated by a fiery attack turned into hot steam, melted the face of another monster.

Such combinations killed the four giant monsters in no time. As soon as they fell down before other monsters could climb over them, a team of hunters swiftly jumped down, while another with shields was protecting them.

The team cut open the monsters’ heads to remove their cores. Luckily, two of them were orbs. Orbs were delivered to Lucy as soon as the team had returned.

“We are truly lucky!” Lucy looked at the two cyan orbs in amazement. “Pass them to the Defend Team.”

“Yes ma’am.”

“We got this! So long as the walls stand, we can win easily!”

“ROAR!”

“I jinxed myself, haven't I?” Lucy looked afar as she slapped her forehead.

“Ma’am, Flying Pigs are here!” A soldier shouted from afar.

“Shoot them down, now!” Lucy started to rush towards the walls. Flying Pigs were the most troublesome creatures in Stampedes. Just like Kamikazes, they would clash with the structures to blast them down. The volatile acid in their stomach would explode as soon as it was mixed with their blood. So, when they were hurt, they would explode to take their assaulters with them.

“Clear the battlefield. Shot the pigs down!” Lucy jumped into the sky in the middle of the pigs. The pigs had two pairs of wings on their giant backs. Their size was bigger than pre-invasion automobiles. Their faces were ugly, and body hairy. Two tusks were protruding from two sides of their mouths.

Now, in the middle of 30 such pigs, with her blonde hair, Lucy was floating in the air.
