It took nearly a week.
The support from the Night Watchers finally arrived.
Clearly, the arriving Night Watchers were travel-worn. They ran all the way here on foot, and if it weren’t for their datafied bodies, this journey would have taken several times longer.
Upon arrival, they began constructing the temporary camp in the area Kana and the others had already chosen.
Kana said to Ichard, who was in charge of building the camp, "Construct this as if it were a permanent camp stronghold."
Though Ichard didn’t quite understand why, he followed the order after hearing Kana’s words.
During a gap in the construction.
Kana led the Night Watcher leaders into the pit, allowing them to stand on the sealed platform and observe those Void creatures.
"Oh my, these things really make one feel uneasy," Eric couldn’t help but say.
Especially seeing the original appearances of the infected, observing the protruding purple crystals on their bodies, and the purple luminescent tumors.
Looking at these humanoid creatures, one can’t help but imagine oneself sprouting such things, which sends shivers down the spine.
"Without the blessing, this purple light alone would be enough to render us incapable of fighting."
Lurik said as he observed.
In this situation, not to mention fighting, even resisting would become a luxury.
After understanding the situation.
When they returned to the camp, given the Night Watchers’ construction speed, the command room was almost complete.
Everyone was seated in the command room.
Blake said, "Based on the situation below just now, if we want to clear it quickly and protect ourselves,
we can only proceed with a methodical legion advance. The space below isn’t large enough for us to engage in harassment-style attacks."
Everyone agreed with Blake’s words, especially considering the Void creatures below had already been alarmed.
Once they went down, they would face a massive siege by the Void creatures.
After the discussion, Blake said, "Then, the Night Patrol and the Light Guardians will be reorganized together, and I will command them."
Following the simple meeting discussion,
the next day, the Night Watchers gathered together and began jumping down from the bottom of the pit one by one.
The elves watched from the side, observing so many Night Watchers, and their strength was not weak.
"I didn’t realize there were so many combat members in the Night Watchers," an elf couldn’t help but say.
Heiswantha shook his head, "Based on what we saw in that small town, the actual combat personnel would only be more.
Only a portion was probably called for support; even now, the strength of the Night Watchers continues to exceed my expectations."
Since the pit wasn’t wide, the Night Watchers had to enter in batches.
The first batch to enter were the best-equipped Night Watcher warriors bearing large shields.
"Charge!" Chapters fırst released on novel•fire.net
The leader was a middle-aged dwarf with a stout body clad in thick heavy armor.
In one hand, he held a massive shield, and in the other, a spiked heavy hammer.
He resembled a moving battering ram.
With his shout, the surrounding warriors leapt down from the platform with him.
Their heavy frames hit the ground with a thud.
"Push hard! We need to advance!"
With a loud shout, all the warriors lined up in a row, raising their shields and pushing hard forward.
The first wave of infecteds crashed directly into the shields, and their attacks immediately struck down.
The subterranean space echoed with the sound of clashes.
The second batch of Night Watcher warriors entered, most wielding various weapons, often with just a small round shield on their left hand or no shield at all.
These were the primary offensive warriors among the Night Watchers, mostly part of the Night Patrol.
Udo, once under the Count’s command, was now carrying a giant warhammer and jumped straight off the platform.
He fiercely smashed an infected trying to bypass the shield wall.
More warriors followed closely behind.
Long spears, greatswords, giant hammers.
They began to relentlessly clear out the infecteds, while the frontline Night Watchers frenziedly swung their right-hand weapons at the infecteds.
With the second batch passing, the third batch of Night Watcher Rangers followed closely.
They didn’t jump down immediately, as there wasn’t much space below; those at the front had just gone down and hadn’t cleared much space yet.
All the Rangers spread out on the platform, or stood at the edge and began shooting.
Arrow after arrow shot out accurately.
For the Night Watcher’s long-range Rangers, they don’t need to perform massive volleys like in the military but rather aim for precision attacks.
One arrow after another flew out, slicing through the air.
Finally, the fourth batch of melee Rangers directly jumped down from both sides.
From the edge, they started harvesting the creatures’ lives from the sides.
George, Kecha, Rien, and others had already rushed down to fight alongside the Night Watchers below.
The last to arrive were the smallest number of mages from various races.
"Prepare the magic weapons, spread out and cover."
The one responsible for command was a newly joined Human Mage, having been with the Night Watcher for less than two months.
