Bran stood atop a tower, watching over the approaching horde. They had known about them for the past few days, so he wasn't worried at all.
Next to him stood Damien and Bea. They were the safety measures if things went astray. There were also about a hundred Angelic Order members placed at strategic points around the city-walls, and they kept the rest of the army ready too.
The horde was only a few hundred monsters, the strongest of them being Horrors of 1st Tier. They were nothing special, but Bran had a strange feeling about them.
The monsters attacked with too much coordination, and they were heading straight for New Athens... It all seemed too coincidental to him. That's why he took so many preventative measures.
He watched as the first artillery shells hit the beginning of the monster formation, then the larger cannons placed over the wall shot at them as well.
