Although everyone was exhausted to the point where even Kate and Sarah had run out of mana, they kept fighting nonstop until the seventh wave of enemies. Those who hadn't fallen due to the wounds could be numbered in a few hundred men, and not a single one of them was unhurt.
To keep on fighting, Kate and Sarah began to look for the crossbows of the fallen tamers and then fired them nonstop, but they were quite useless against heavy infantry. Nevertheless, it didn't seem like they would have to keep fighting there for long…
"What is that?" Billy frowned when he saw some weird moves ahead coming from the last three waves of enemies.
They weren't moving, and since the last ones moved quite close to each other, Billy knew that something was off. To make things even more confusing, they began to march north… toward the eastern battlefield.
"Sons of a bitch…" Billy muttered.
"They gave in to winning here… It is bad since we won't reach the eastern gate in time, but it is also a sign that the other gates are holding up," Gerald said.
Gerald and Gustave were covered in blood from top to bottom, even Marie, who was fast enough to dodge the blood gushing from her foes, also red with blood, hers and the enemies. Billy looked at his friends and then saw that they were exhausted. They began to fight at noon, and it was already four in the afternoon, so it was natural that they were hurt and tired. The one who looked in the best condition was him. He only had a few scratches since he put bolts in the heads of those who got too close to him.
"Those who are too tired and wound finish off these bastards! The others… Follow me as if your life depends on it!" Marie shouted.
There are still some enemies of the seventh wave around, but they are scattered, so they didn't pose a threat. Still, only two hundred or so adventurers and soldiers followed Marie. Some of them were even missing an arm… It was because, from the sixth wave onward, the barbarians showed up.
Nevertheless, Billy and his friends accompanied the guild masters, and as expected, the enemies reached that other side first. From a distance, they could tell that their allies were on their last legs and things were only about to get worse since the enemies sent fifteen thousand soldiers and more than twenty-five from the eastern side. The battle just became four thousand enemies against two hundred of Billy's group and more or less four hundred on the eastern gate.
"It is do or die now, fellas!" Marie shouted. "These motherfuckers are going to target our people, our friends, our families after this is done! I don't care if they are being controlled or manipulated by some asshole. This isn't my problem! I am just going to kill them all!"
At that point in time, no one participating in that war could be said to be innocent of anything. Even if someone was manipulating their leaders or fooling others, it didn't change the fact that thousands of men and women died already fighting in that war. So, no one could hesitate in front of the enemy.
Before the group could arrive on the battlefield, Billy, who had recovered some mana and hadn't used it yet, had decided to slow down the enemies' advance a little bit. He touched the ground and made some spiked pillars appear in front of the first group of enemies that were approaching the walls. He didn't have to make them move, he made them appear inclined enough, and they fell toward the enemies due to their own weight. The enemy soldiers got surprised and stopped their march for a second, and they panicked when those began to fall toward them. They couldn't retreat in order, so some were crushed by the pillars, unable to retreat. Not only did Billy kill some of them, but he also made them stop and caused confusion among their ranks. Still, that didn't last for long. Even though they were going to be flanked, they soon began to march. Only four hundred soldiers were blocking their path, after all.
While following Marie's lead, the soldiers and adventurers finally reached the enemy's left side and then began to pierce their ranks with their usual savagery. However, their charge slowed down a bit. Putting the exhaustion aside, even Gerald was needing more than a few swords strikes to deal with the enemies and their shields. It was at that moment that he realized that they were dealing with the barbarians, but instead of their round shields, they were using the tower ones.
"They are way sturdier than the average soldier…" Kate said while he was using her crossbow, but the bolts weren't piercing any part of the enemy's bodies.
"Don't give up. We have to stop their charge no matter what. They can't reach the gates!" Billy said.
The walls only had a couple of arches, so using ladders or even ropes will be easy to climb. The gates will also be damaged a lot faster… Billy could always seal them with Earth magic, but it wouldn't have any meaning if his allies were too loose. Nevertheless, even Billy was having a hard time killing the barbarians that were focusing on defense. He had to use three Light spears to make his weapon pierce through the shield, armor, and their body.
"Not good…" Billy thought.
He was planning to save some mana and then use a large amount to affect the whole battlefield somehow, but it will take a while if he has to use his crossbow. While he was wondering about what to do, he saw Sarah and Kate running out of crossbows and bolts to use, so they picked some spears on the ground to fight… That was anything but a good idea.
"It is time…" Billy said, and then he put his crossbow away.
In the end, Billy pointed both his hands at the enemies. It was time to truly terrorize them…
