Standing outside the camp while leaning on the fence like wall, he stared at the distance trying to look if theres something approaching.
Almost half an hour has already passed since the start of Third Phase, right now theres only one minute till the attack starts.
Ronn opened the countdown and occasionally took a glance at it.
[ Time Remaining: 0:0 49s ]
[ Time Remaining: 0:0 30s ]
[ Time Remaining: 0:0 19s ]
[ Time Remaining: 0:0 6s ]
[ Time Remaining: 0:0 1s ]
When it hits zero, he scanned the entire area but he didn't found anything. The other teams who was also outside looked confused.
It continue for few minutes until they all felt tremor on the ground, it keeps increasing every seconds until one guy from the group shouted loudly.
"MONSTERS!!MONSTER ARE COMING."
Once all of them heard that, they all look ahead and saw hordes of monster charging straight ahead to them.
The leaders quickly sprang into action, commanding each of their team to quickly form the same formation they used when raiding the Lord's camp.
Ronn who was watching the hordes getting closer approach his team. He looked at Lilia and asked.
"Want me to reduce the monsters?"
She turned her head and look at him while answering. "Hm, you don't need to do that, the hordes are only F rank with few E rank. So for now conserve your strength, you too Riko."
"Hm, okay" (Ronn)
"What about us?" (Jack)
"You all can fight however you want, just don't use to much strength and reserve some for later." (Lilia)
After Lilia said that, the rest of the team also moves in to the formation while Ronn just stand in the back not doing anything.
He didn't want to participate yet, as Lilia said. There should be more stronger monster hordes later, he can just send no.3 to fill his position.
When the hordes got closer on the attack range, All the range dealer launch different attack and they bombared them even before they reach the tanks.
Only half of the hordes manages to reach the fronts, the monsters pounce at them but the tanks didn't get pushed back.
Unlike the monsters in the Lord's camp, this hordes are too weak. Then the melee fighters moves forwards to dispatch all of them.
The battle continue for few minutes before they all eradicate the hordes. Throughout the battle no one was heavily injured, they all overpowered the hordes.
They were about to celebrate when Max said loudly. "MAINTAIN FORMATION AND BE ALERT."
Once they all heard that each of them stopped and goes in the back of the formation. Not too long before they killed all the monsters, another wave of them approach.
Just like the first hordes, there are hundreds of them charging at the camp. The only difference is that theres more E rank than earlier one.
Using the same tactics earlier, once the hordes steps on the range. They were met with different kinds of attacks, be it ball of fire, lightning strikes, arrows, rain of bullets and many more.
After they finished them, they didn't celebrate and maintained the formation. The healers healed those that got injured, while the leaders stared at the distance.
Then they all heard another tremor, they all clench they weapons tightly, ready to kill all monsters that would come. The tremor increases but they couldn't see the monsters.
Each leaders looked confused when Ray suddenly turned around and hurriedly shout. "SURROUND THE ENTIRE CAMP."
Upon hearing what he said, each leader realized what was going on, they all thought that the monsters would only appear in one direction.
But they were wrong, the camp was in the middle of nowhere, which means that it can be attack in different places.
When they were about to move, they all saw an explosion in the opposite side of the camp's gate. Then a massive fire rised from where the explosion happened.
They broke the formation, each team moves to different sides of the camp. Max's team goes to the opposite side of the camp's gate, Ray and Chris team to each side, while Mack and Lilia's team stayed in the camp's gate.
Once Max and his team reach their position, all they saw was scorched ground with burned dead bodies of monsters. In the center of the scorched ground was Ronn who's killing monsters after monsters.
Max's and his team didn't moved, they all watch as Ronn fought an entire hordes of monsters. Each of them had the look of surprise and awe.
Everyone one of them, even Max realized the difference between their strength to his overwhelming display of power.
They didn't moved and just stared until Ronn finished all the monsters, once Ronn was done he approach them while asking. "Uh, why didn't you helped me and just stand there? the hordes has a lot of monsters you know?"
Max who was staring at him, snapped back and hurriedly said. "Well, it looks like you didn't need help after all."
"I need some help though, I can't just shout at you because I can't spare even a moment to shout." (Ronn)
"I see sorry about that." (Max)
"Hm, no problem, then help me get all their cores. I'll share some with you once were done." (Ronn)
"Hm, no problem." (Max)
After Max and his team agreed, they all hurriedly get all the cores from the monsters. Once their done, they amass more than a hundred of cores.
Ronn gave them 40 cores as thanks for helping him and keep the remaining cores for himself. He sat beside the wall like fence and begun absorbing all of it.
Max's and his team didn't disturb him, they all split the cores and stored them.
....
On the Northern part Region, outside the camp lay hundreds of corpse. Most of them consist of monsters, while few human dead bodies were mixed on it.
Mantra who was outside sitting on a chair while looking at the terrified people that resides on the camp.
Beside him was Ribo who shouted. "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING, GET THE MONSTERS CORES QUICKLY BEFORE ANOTHER HORDES COMES."
Once hes done speaking he heard Rick voice.
"Hehehe, look at them getting terrified, what a bunch of weaklings. Once this third phase was done, I'm gonna dissect each once of them."
Mantra look at him and said. "Do that after this third phase ends, they were useful right now so if you touch them even before the task was done. I'm gonna skin you alive, Got it?"
"Woah, woah, relax I not gonna do anything to them before the task is finished, I don't want to fight those hordes of monsters after all." (Rick)
"Coward" (Brek)
"Oh, want me to kill you right now?" (Rick)
"As if you can, weakling." (Brek)
They begun to quarrel until the next wave approach.
