On the third day of the monster's attack, Gavin sensed a change in the atmosphere of the city.
The atmosphere in the entire city became very tense. The troops in the city began to move frequently, even he himself was one of them. His elite team was dispatched to the west gate, which was close to the academy.
For the past two days, the city guards had been guarding the main gate. The scouts had observed the strong magical response in the west and had also found traces of monsters. The monsters' attacks today were likely to be even fiercer than before.
As they were waiting on the city wall, the observer beside them said loudly, "Right in front of us, 3000 meters away, there are traces of monsters. They are quickly approaching."
The students looked straight ahead and saw the blue beast tide surging out from behind the distant plains. The blue bodies covered the snow, and the faces of the students became cautious.
The beast tide was surging towards them at an extremely high speed. They occupied everyone's line of sight, like a tide that submerged the plains.
There were so many monsters that it was unimaginable. On the third day after the magic array disappeared, the monsters started their first formal charge.
With the command, magic gushed out of the ground or fell from the sky. The students of the firearms division shot out wave after wave, but these monsters were different from the cannon fodder from the beginning.
"Target surpasses 500 meters!" The observer's voice traveled to his ears.
The monster tide had already passed the five hundred meter range, and they were still rapidly approaching. The magic kept on killing the monsters in front of them, but new monsters were coming at them, and the huge figure in the middle of these monsters was especially prominent.
The soft hair on his body was as hard as palm hair, and the deep blue color on his skin was connected to become even more strange patterns. The huge horns were wrapped by blue ice at this time, shining coldly in the sunlight, the muscles and veins on his strong body were exposed, and his head became even sharper than before, making him look more like a wolf than a cow's head.
As they got closer, the cow-headed beast let out a roar. It retreated and stepped on the monsters in front of it, charging at them at an even faster speed.
"Prepare for the impact!"
In front of the city wall, a light barrier suddenly appeared. The monsters that were rushing forward did not have enough time to stop and crashed into the barrier of light, being bounced into pieces by the energy of the light barrier. The mutated minotaur only took a few steps back when it collided with the light barrier, and the beast tide was constantly gathering.
Gavin stared straight ahead, his face changing dramatically. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Those monsters were currently devouring the dead bodies of their dead comrades. Moreover, he saw that the monsters that were constantly becoming stronger and would die after just a single collision were now able to attack them three times before being killed by the ejected attacks.
The faces of the students here were all pale. Although they had seen bloody scenes before, this kind of hellish scene made them somewhat unable to accept it. Many magic students were female, so the frequency of attacks became slower when they saw this kind of scene.
Just like these students, Vito's face did not look very good. Monsters were constantly attacking the light barrier, but the students he was leading were all sword arts faculties, and even with the Wave Sword Technique, they were all within ten meters of the target. However, the situation was not looking good, and the request for reinforcements was made just now, but even the most recent reinforcements would arrive in ten minutes.
Vito looked at the monsters in front of him and suddenly shouted, "The students of the Magic division and the firearms division, prepare to retreat! The garrison and we will prepare to face the charge!"
Hearing Vito's shout, the other two squad leaders looked at him, and got their comrades to stop attacking, and prepared to leave the outer city's battlefield. They probably couldn't defend this place anymore, so they started to gather together.
It was just as they had thought. The magic array was about to be broken, and they and the garrison troops wanted to give the others some time to retreat. The civilians outside the Western District had already retreated.
He took a deep breath, and the city gate in front of him began to slowly open. As long as he stopped them, it would be fine.
"Take care!" A gentle voice entered his ears. It was a female student from the Magic division who seemed to be the team captain just like him. He turned around and looked at her, thinking how beautiful she was.
Vito pulled out the sword from his waist. The sword emitted waves of killing intent. This was a new skill granted to them by the Chief. The sword energy would gather and surround the sword blade, increasing the damage it dealt to enemies.
He took out his sword and pointed it in front of them. With a glare from his hind leg, he took the lead and rushed out. From the inside, he was able to attack the outside.
To them, a distance of two hundred meters was like nothing at all. Dozens of swords glowed with light as various types of sword lights slashed forward, lacerating the bodies of the monsters. The swords in their hands stabbed out brazenly.
Ever since the three had started teaching, they had practiced countless number of sword moves. In this period of time, they had found their own paths to walk on, and the strength of each of them could no longer be compared to the strength they had half a year ago.
Vito struck out with his sword. It was as fast as lightning, but there was no sound of the wind. His target was the minotaur.
"Ding —!"
The collision of metal and stone resounded in the air.
Vito only felt an astonishing force coming from the sword. He did not take the blow head on. Instead, he borrowed the force from the blow and took a few steps back.
He was not too surprised. After all, the minotaur was a monster that grew in size and strength. In addition, after its mutation, its strength was now much greater than before.
However, those with great strength might not win.
It was just like back when he was hunting the minotaur.
Vito bent his legs slightly and bent his body slightly, like an arrow ready to be shot. He wanted to determine the victor with a single slash, the tip of his sword controlling the direction as the sword light became increasingly condensed.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him. His expression changed as the direction of the sword changed.
