After listening to grandpa Morris's word, they were finally about to gather the courage to hold their weapons while waiting for the beasts to enter the city.
"They should have gotten to the safe zone by now" said grandpa Morris.
"Most likely, I hope Phillip and the other would be able to protect them from harm" added Mr. Norman.
"Haha, they will have to go through us first before they should be able to get to the safe zone" replied grandpa Morris.
"But there is no way we will be able to stop all of them from entering the city" said Mr. Norman.
"The only way that they can get past us is when we mess up with the coordination" replied grandpa Morris before turning around to give everyone a look before continuing with his speech.
"Those with long-range weapons come with me and those of you that are close combatant you will be following Norman's lead. You are tasked with the mission of staying at the frontline while we long-range fighters will provide backup from the rear" instructed grandpa Morris before leading the long-range fighters out.
"You heard him, so let's move out" ordered Mr. Norman before leading his men forward.
Seeing the human are coming at them, the fang wolf let out a roar before the other beasts begin to charge in as they engage the humans in a heated battle.
"Spread out" yelled Mr. Norman as he went to face a beast that was close to him while leaving his men to deal with another beast.
From one beast to another, the team was able to hold the front while any beast that managed to make it past their defense will be shot dead by the team of long-range fighters and that was not all, whenever any of the combatants were in trouble, there is always someone to help out and it was all thanks to this that they were able to avoid getting injured.
"Why is it taking the academy too long to send reinforcement over" asked someone from the team as he fend of against a beast.
"You know how far it is from here to the academy so don't expect them to arrive that early" replied another member of the team.
"But we won't be able to hold on for long before we get devoured by them" said someone from the team.
"Only if we have our complete weapon set, then holding on wouldn't have been a problem for us" replied Mr. Norman.
"Yes but it is quite unfortunate that we are too old to use them" said another member.
Meanwhile, as they were battling against the beasts, the mothers and kids were busy rushing to get inside the safe zone and it gets to Jace's turn, he couldn't help but turn to look at the weird sword that is being held by one of the fathers.
"Jace you better hurry inside before things get messy here" said the man with a serious look on his face which shows how important their job is.
Jace could only nod his head as he run into the safe zone with the others before looking for a place to rest.
"Boom Boom Boom"
The sound of a gunshot could be heard in the distance which cause many of the kids to cry in fear that they are going to get eaten.
"Don't cry kids, everything is going to be alright okay" said a woman named Sandra.
"But grandpa told us that the beasts feed on humans so what is going to happen to us when we have been found out" asked a kid with tears in her eyes.
"I also believe he also told you about the existence of the hunters so you don't worry for the hunters are already taking care of the situation" replied miss Sandra with a smile on her face.
After hearing miss Sandra's assurance, they begin to calm down and seeing that they are now calm compare to when they heard the sound of the gunshot, miss Sandra let out a sigh as she went back to sit on her spot.
"Boom Boom Boom"
The sound of the gunshot was becoming frequent due to the beasts now charging in after taking another order from the fang wolf.
"There don't see to be an end to this army of beasts" said a member of the long-range fighters.
"It seems like they are trying to wear us down" replied grandpa Morris as he shot one beast dead.
"Then we will just have to take as many as we can down before breathing our last" said a member of the long-range fighters.
Many of the front-line combatants has been injured but they still continue to hold the beasts at bay until the fang wolf decided to step in.
"Roar"
The fang wolf begins to charge at them as it hit one of the fighters away before going for another. Seeing one of their own being killed by the fang wolf, they all went angry as they charge in with their weapons trying to get rid of the beasts since they will be killed soon.
"Everyone fall back, it will only be a waste if things go on like this" said grandpa Morris as he came out of his hiding place.
With grandpa Morris warning the team quickly moved back as they begin making a run for it until there was no beast in sight.
"Things are not going as planned" said Mr. Norman while trying to catch his breath.
"Backup will be here anytime soon so don't give up yet" replied grandpa Morris.
"But now that the fang wolf has decided to make a move, I don't think we will be able to hold on until backup arrives" said a member of the combatant.
"I guess this is the end for me then" said another member.
"Haha, at least you are not dying for nothing but for the future of your child" replied another with a laugh as it can be seen that they have given up on living.
