Now that Alterra made a move, it felt like a barrage of attacks they could no longer avoid.

A lot of the smarter humans though, had managed to find the safe spots of staying against the wall—buried in the angle between the wall and the
ground—and keeping themselves as low as possible.
This way, they would almost be flush to the wall and the ground and it was unlikely to get hit by the arrows’ projectiles. At the same time, the
monsters—which were now more attracted by the aether of the walls instead of them—didn’t see them anymore.
One such person was Jest, who was among the first to do this. He was one of the vanguards after the slaves were led inside, and it was a miracle he
was still alive (and whole) until now.
He also managed to dig a bit of the surrounding soil so that he could enter the shallow depression, lowering his presence as much as he could.
He was now lying down to minimize his exposed surface area, but at the same time, he was so exposed to the gore that was happening right in front
of his eyes—literally!
Crush!
Crunch!
Squelch!
He wanted to vomit and cry as another person’s innards splashed at his face. His entire body was now covered with them. They were from different
people and from beasts, but he had no choice but to just stay still.
He... had never expected he’d experience such a horror in such a place.
He was used to just helping the subsidiary villagers inside the walls. Unlike the others, he avoided violence, though there were plenty of times he had
no choice but to defend himself.
Still, compared to others, the blood and gore he was exposed to... definitely did not compare to what he was seeing now!
As someone from a town, he had naturally seen similar monsters before. However, in those cases, the people he was hunting with were people from
Towns and were not taken aback by the strengths of monsters.
Of course, his share of the loot was the bare minimum, but what could he do? His strength wasn’t so special.
This was different for the people of Resso Village and the others. They were definitely not equipped to deal with such high-level mobs.
Anyway, more and more people realized this and soon the walls were lined up with crawling enemies trying to melsh with the walls. More and more
humans dragged themselves to hide within the safety of the walls, though ironically not even inside it.
By the time most of the beasts targeted the walls and the gates, the perimeter of the walls in this area was filled with humans trying to bury
themselves.
Some of the Alterrans who saw this from their angle didn’t mind this for now. They just focused on handling the monsters on-hand.
In the end, as long as the human wasn’t evil, they really would prefer sparing their lives when they could.
Anyway, considering the number of people who attacked, a lot of them would end up being official ’slaves’ anyway.
ROOOARRR!
BANG!
Now, the beasts were more of a problem to them. Although a good portion had been handled, there were still a lot of them in the end. Not to mention,
the majority of the beasts attacked either of the two gates, so it was not a surprise that they were being troublesome here.
Of course, even earlier, the guards weren’t just watching while the enemies fought with the beasts (well, most of them weren’t).
They did make sure to lighten up the loads later on by targeting the particularly strong ones while they were distracted by the humans. They also
preferred it if fights were easier once the mob reached the walls.
For example, archers like Loki, Sammy, and the like targetted the level 14 or 15 Orgois, one of the common monsters in the Ferrol area.
Since they camped around the area, Garan and a lot of Guards had memorized its weakness like the back of their hands.
Even if they didn’t have such powerful weapons as Miss Althea, by virtue of their knowledge (and elements), they did manage to kill the monsters in
one shot.
[Killed! Orgoi (Lv15)! Gained +520 EXP, +520 Copper!]
[Killed! Orgoi (Lv15)! Gained +520 EXP, +520 Copper!]
The soldiers like Garan and the others had their own scopes, too, though the rest of them were away from the gates to handle the human enemies
that were concentrated elsewhere.
One had to know: Alterra had more than ten thousand meters of wall to guard. This was not a small place at all! The number of guards was not
enough to fully guard all points of the territory.
However, in Alterra, that was not much of a problem. There were plenty of brave citizens in all parts of the wall, and there was no meter that didn’t
have someone guarding it.
To the aborigines watching this war, this was amazing. Unlike other Villages upgrading to Towns—which usually had more than 30 to 40 thousand
population by the time they reached the prestige requirements—Alterra only had around 20,000 at the time.
And yet somehow, despite the low population, Alterra managed to have guards in all parts of the territory simply because almost everyone wanted to
contribute to the Village’s safety.
Anyway, the citizens guarded along with the sentries, and the couple of ballista bolts they had helped out. Due to the fact that there were a lot of
human enemies, everyone was discouraged from going down the walls, so the archers and the spearmen were the ones with the most kills.
Among the citizens were the twins Luke and Leo, who were stationed somewhere Northwest of the territory. It was far from the gate, but it was also a
likely spot for enemies to sneak in.
They had indeed tried, but before they could finish setting up, Luke would either burn their access or kick them down. The guards and those beyond
the level cap would also use their abilities to push the humans to the monsters’ mouths.
Although the beasts were far fewer here than in the gates, they were still of a formidable number. The enemy team’s general in these parts was killed
by the sudden appearance of monsters, so they didn’t have the strategy to deal with the monsters first before going against Alterra.
For the most part, the humans focused on running away from the monsters to head to the walls, as if Alterra’s sentries would only attack the beasts
more than it would attack them.
This actually had some logic to it—the sentries definitely did prioritize taking down beasts. However, Alterra’s archers weren’t blind nor were they
biased!

Of course, despite the enemies’ many blunders, there were still many of them in numbers. A lot of them were also quite strong, so there were still a
few breaches in the end.
It was just that these people who managed to enter the territory would feel relieved too early. They were just relieved to finally rid of the beasts that
had been relentlessly haunting them for an hour!
It was to the point that they forgot... that there were still plenty of things that could kill them inside!
