...
The battle was intense from the very first moment it began.
The Ruined Beasts attacked the city fearlessly.
On the human side, although the incident happened suddenly and many people were just getting up, thanks to Guard Captain Ma Xiaoling's decision to disobey his father's orders and stay in the town, the guard had significantly improved the efficiency of the Night Watchman system two days in advance.
Normally, there were only a few hundred Night Watchmen, but this morning there were as many as two thousand on duty.
When the Beast Tide appeared, about eight hundred were guarding the city walls, while the other twelve hundred were preparing to go off duty.
After the alarm sounded, those twelve hundred Night Watchmen immediately rushed to the walls to support their comrades, just in time to reinforce the shaky defensive line formed by the eight hundred on the wall and the automated weapons installed there.
Of course, the pressure was still immense.
