Monster Stampede is a phenomenon when monsters group together and move to a new habitat. There are two causes for this matter, when their land is unsuitable for their needsr, or a stronger monster preys on them. According to the information of the scouts, the monsters are running with frantic breathing. Most likely they are fleeing from something. If it is they are thinking of, then they need to prepare for the worst.
The battle starts at the valley to the west. The land has few paths, so the invaders do not have the advantage of numbers. The forest provides cover and blockage. There is also a ravine down south which the defenders can use as pitfall. However, there is no telling how many monsters that will invade the city. The battle can only last for 3 days until the defenders exhaust their supplies.
Few Cultivators stayed to defend the city. Most of them are from Righteous Sects that swore an oath to defend the Realm and deliver justice to those who destroy the harmony. The leader of a group looks at his subordinate and asked, "How many people are willing go fight." The subordinate answered, "Four Hundred and Fifty Mortals are prepared to overcome this trial. They are much courageous than those dogs from other sects."
Their army composes of pikemen, shield bearers, archers, and mortar team, which were lead by the commander of the city, Yang Weilong. Their strategy is to block the stampede and poke on monsters whenever they have the chance. Their weapons will able to pierce through the flesh. But one problem is their strength. They do have the shield but the shield bearers won't last until they drop. "Ren, you lead with our brothers to take down all dangerous monsters they can't handle. Ruo Lang, lead your sisters and assist the wounded with your healing techniques. Shen, head back to our Sect for more help. I, Dokja, shall stay in the frontline and aid the soldiers with my sword." ordered Dokja with confidence and clear communication. The Cultivators begin to move as ordered.
The Monsters are forcing their way through the valley. When the trap sensed their presence, the trap exploded and kills the fast ones. There are still a big wave of monsters coming through the valley. The Shield Bearers risked their lives to block the incoming fangs and claws. Few lunges forward and pressured the Shield Bearers. The Pikemen takes this chance to strike their spear to the beasts. The Archers assisted by firing their arrows and hoping that it land. A Rain of Arrows fall down to the ground, piercing everything it falls on to. It took 3 hours of fighting until the frontline collapse. Huge beasts emerge from behind, throwing rocks and monsters above the Shield Bearers.
This forced them to retreat. Unfortunate ones were being mauled or sliced to death. The Shield Bearers are stopping their charge. The Cultivators begin their move, swooping into the stampede. They are stronger than the regular soldiers and have special techniques. Their specialty are most based on the Water Spiritual Root. The calmer they are in the fight, the sharper their blades will slice. Some gives qi to others in order to heal them.
Dokja inspires all soldier with his inspiring speech. Together they fight the monsters. A couple of hours later, Jessica arrives in the battlefield. Brave men are still fighting the monster stampede. "I should go all-out with my spells." she said as she stretches her arms.
Jessica immediately went in action. Everyone is shocked to see a stranger in weird clothes appeared in the battlefield. Jessica spams all of her spells to kill all monsters in the area. It overwhelmed some of the monsters, making them flee away from the City. Dokja and his group were speechless. "Who was that? I can't see her Realm." he said with a confused look. Still, it doesn't change their mission to stop the stampede. Dokja shakes his head then ordered, "Focus on the battle. Assist that stranger. Let's show them how our Piercing Howl Sect fight." His brothers and sisters roared with high spirits and proceed to fight.
The fight is almost over thanks to Jessica overwhelming the big monsters on her own. The soldiers shouted joyfully. One of the soldiers recognized Jessica. He talks about it with others. They are quite shocked to know how powerful Jessica is. After learning who the mysterious fighter is, they called her "The Battle Saintess" for her strong fighting ability and saving mortally wounded soldiers with her healing spells.
They celebrated too early. Dokja can sense the presence of a powerful being coming closer. "It is not over! Brace yourselves!" he shouted in a hurry. Everyone got startled by his shouting. Moments later, a terrible roar shakes the entire land. Fear struck on the soldiers, which stops them from moving. The Cultivators were stunned from the deafening cries of horror. Only Jessica, Dokja, and Yang Weilong were unaffected. "That strange Sorcerer is very strong. But that commander, Yang Weilong... He has the mind of steel to be able to stay calm under pressure."
Huge stomping sounds shake the land, it's growl can be heard in the distance. It's eyes make everyone breathless. It's wicked black color blocks the sunshine behind it's back. It's mouth is sizzling with flames. "Of course." said Jessica. "A Fantasy cannot be a fantasy if there is no Dragon that loses its mind like everytime. Oh well, I will stop it's advance until a Dragonslayer comes to the rescue."
