Chapter 2025: Fighting and Flirting

,There were plenty of other people in this area.

Mobs outside of upgrade mobs were naturally much smaller than the latter, but most of them were by no means actually ’small’. The mob in this sector was easily comparable to their first upgrade mob back then, but more powerful due to the level differences of the monsters.

More and more people appeared in the area, taking over different sectors of the battlement and the ’training’ area right outside of it.

Flying monsters could only fly a little over a hundred meters above ground. That was to say, they couldn’t fly above the scope of level 5 (and above) sentries.

However, they had evolved in a way that, after a few shots, they learned the scope of the sentries they were facing, thus managing to hover just beyond its scope to time when to swoop in.

It had nothing to do with intelligence, as most monsters had dredges for brains, but more like a honing signal developed inside their bodies. Further, they also had higher chances of avoiding sentry arrows in the first place, making them troublesome opponents.

Fortunately, this also meant that very few flying monsters would dare to go past high-level walls. Since flying monsters were generally around level 20 and above, they hadn’t really encountered them before they turned into a town, which was fortunate because that could’ve been a disaster.

"Tsk, it escaped again," one of the guards muttered with furrowed eyebrows when his spear missed to land another attack.

"One more minute and we’ll take over."

"Eh? Already!? That’s not fair, I already wounded it!"

Since level 20+ monsters were not that many in numbers, people who needed EXP could only take turns. Some teams adopted a rotation system of giving everyone who needed the kill a chance to do so.

Some, like this case, assigned the last kill to members in alteration, and if they failed to kill it within the stipulated amount of time, then another could take the chance.

This was the case for most soldiers with Garan back then.

Of course, the others still needed to group together to beat them. The average level among Alterran guards was still several levels below level 20, after all.

For example, Captains Amos and Galleon’s teams—all of whom were personally trained by them—took over a sector, and they worked together to efficiently take down the monsters, some of which had higher levels than the team captains.

Galleon had now joined the guard team after getting sober (and after receiving medical certificate from the hospital, of course). After contributing a lot and killing a lot of enemies in the Valov War, he was directly promoted to captain.

As someone who had had a high rank before retiring back in Terran, it could be said that his rocket-like rise was not a surprise.

His greatest contribution was defending one of the evacuation centers—one that protected his son. His small team managed to take down all the enemies with minimal losses, which was incredibly impressive.

"Now," Amos said as he controlled several vines he had previously set. Just as two bird-type monsters descended, the vines expanded to grab or swipe their leg or its wing, imbalancing them immediately.

They baited the monsters to go near them, especially since the monsters worked in pairs.

Galleon teleported as soon as one was within his scope. He appeared above the monster and gave it a heavy kick, with Amos using his wood ability to hold it down.

As for the other monsters, the other teammates went to keep them within the scope of the sentry. Even if it managed to escape their barrage, it would likely be hit by a sentry arrow.

Meanwhile, back in Luke and Leo’s area, the battle continued as new monsters entered their area. The twins and their teammates had entered the zone, gaining quite a decent momentum.

Luke even managed to recycle the same sharp rock to weaken several monsters over the past hour.

"Joe and Lee had always joked around fighting monsters like this," Luke mumbled out of nowhere, eyebrows furrowed. Joe was an earth user and Lee was a wind user, so their abilities could be trained with such enemies.

Too bad they had both perished during the recent war. The only bright side was that they died while knowing the families they had been protecting were alive and well. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But Luke was a bit bitter because Joe’s wife was already flirting. Using her beneficiary status, she received all of Joe’s liquid wealth and contribution points to fund her current lavish lifestyle.
