To survive, there was only one option: fight!
Perhaps the monsters' weakness was close combat!
Running away meant certain death; charging forward and fighting was the only slim chance of survival!
"Don't retreat! Brothers, if you want to live, fight alongside me! Don't let them get close to the line!" The guard captain shouted loudly. "Don't be scared, follow me and attack! Take them down!"
"Yes!"
The Empire guards roared in unison, trying to dispel their fear, and charged forward with the guard captain into the oncoming horde of Lickers.
Whoosh!
The guard captain led the charge, vigorously swinging his magic crystal long sword.
"Die!"
Bang!!
The guard captain's pupils narrowed.
As a master swordsman, a single swing from him could easily cut through elite iron, but when his strike hit a Licker, it merely produced a dull thud.
