The soldiers roared.
"FOR THE CITY!"
"HOLD THE LINE!"
The moment the Captain's hand fell the world seemed to erupt.
The ground shook violently as thousands of demons surged forward like a tidal wave of claws and teeth. Their roars tore through the plains, drowning out even the wind.
"SHIELDS UP!"
The Commander's voice cut through the chaos. The front lines braced. Steel shields slammed together.
Spears lowered.
The first collision came like a landslide.
BOOM!
The impact sent shockwaves through the formation as the leading demons crashed into the defensive line. Claws screeched against metal. Teeth snapped inches from human throats. The sheer force of the charge pushed the soldiers back several steps, boots digging into the earth to hold ground.
"Hold! HOLD!"
Behind them, archers released another volley.
