While everyone's attention was focused on Thoren, the situation on the defense line was becoming grim with each passing second.
The number of beasts pouring from the Abyss gateway showed no sign of decreasing; if anything, the tide was growing more intense.
Massive creatures continued flooding forward like an endless current. Their roars shook the ground beneath the soldiers' feet as they surged toward the defense line.
Some were covered in thick scales; others carried fangs and claws capable of tearing through steel.
Among them were winged beasts, multi-headed beasts, and creatures large enough to crush several soldiers underfoot.
The defensive weapons kept firing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thermal weapons echoed across the battlefield, waves of scorching energy tearing through the incoming beasts.
Yet even with the military and the hunters on the wall combining their firepower, the tide kept advancing.
The soldiers were exhausted; their uniforms soaked in blood.
