I was patrolling around the town, specifically the part to which I was assigned. I have to find out if any monsters broke through the defences using the underground as a way to enter the town.
It was a common thod for monsters to use such a way.
Normally people see that monsters belong to three categories based on their living habitats. They are Land Monsters, Flying Monsters and Sea Monsters.
These three are how monsters are broadly classified but what most people forget about are the underground monsters. Many think that the Flying Monsters or the Sea Monsters are the most dangerous ones but that is wrong.
Underground monsters are the most dangerous of all.
The sea is ho to a lot of monsters and in the deep sea, it was said that there are a lot of dangerous monsters. There was a rumor that in the deep sea, Tier-9 monsters are common as if you see commoners in a nation.
Flying monsters, they can fly and would be a hassle to kill them in a fight as they use their flight as best as they can. If they were losing, then they would just fly away, unless soone could restrain flight in the area.
So many consider them as dangerous but we can see flying monsters and sea monsters mostly stick to the coastal areas and also they don't usually co out of the sea.
Unlike them, underground monsters live underneath us. They could be living under our cities and we have no idea about that. When they attack, unless you are blessed awakener of Earth elent, it's almost impossible to find if there are any underground monsters in the vicinity.
One wrong step and you are done for.
Underground monsters are the most dangerous as no one would be able to see their attacks before happening. Sotis even strong monsters would fall prey to weaker underground monsters.
This is why whenever there is a monster tide, not just the frontline where we have to fight is strengthened but also the rear where the support stays.
The workers closed all the sewers and even laid a layer of concrete on almost everything. A lot of defence formations were arranged too, making sure that if anything tried to slip in, it would have one hell of a ti breaking through it.
My work was to watch that these don't break before the war starts. Once the war starts, we have to leave for the frontline but if they break before the war, then it would make it easier for the diggers to get in while everyone's concentration was elsewhere.
The support personnel are very important during any situation that says battle. Though in society they live without much power in their hands, they are still the most respected, though it is not always shown.
They are very much needed in situations like this and most of them can't protect themselves. So the defence asures for them, and by extension to all mbers that ca here to fight.

I was patrolling the area that I was assigned as I did for the last two days.
It was then I started to hear the sounds, the sounds of roars and heavy feet landing on the ground that were in a hurry to reach soplace.
That soplace is here. The town of Repest is where they are trying to reach.
I was sure that the monster tide was here, but unless I see with my eyes, I can't say that.
Quickly, I ran towards the town wall and climbed onto the top. From the battlents, I can clearly see the monsters that appeared near the town.
How did they reach here so quickly?
Why was there no warning?
I an, the town should have prepared for their arrival, at least one or two hours before their arrival. The scouts failed to relay the information.
It ans that either they are in cahoots are they are dead. This is very bad. The town was not prepared for their arrival. Though it was known that sotis the estimates were wrong, the scouts would inform if there were any changes at the last minute.
When they receive the signal, the town or the city that is facing the monster tide would prepare for the upcoming battle but they would have at least an hour or near to it.
It was not the situation at present. They are near the town and would be upon the walls in less than twenty minutes, and that's being generous. I fear they may be even before. Though there are sentries and other patrollers who were near the wall, the number is nowhere near to cover the entire wall.
The number of helpers who arrived at the town to resist the monster tide is very high. They are more than enough to stop the tide but we are caught with our pants down.
In any monster tide, the fighters would not be able to fight continuously. So others would take their place, while the ones who first fought would take a rest to re-energize themselves.
Moreover, in a battle, there would be ones who get injured or die and those spots had to be filled. If there are holes in the defence, then that would make it easy for the monsters to enter the town and wreak havoc inside.
Once they were able to enter the town, it would beco a two-front war and such wars are not favorable if one wants to minimize their damages.
Monsters have no such problem. Most monster tides happen because there are too many monsters in the area and lack of resources. So they are sent out to kill humans to get our resources or die trying. Either is a good outco for them. They would either get more resources or reduce the mouths that needed to be fed with their resources.
So, the monsters would show no rcy to us.
It ans we have only one thing to and that is to hold the line with the ones that were already here, including until others can co and strengthen the defence line. Experience more tales on m v|l e'-
This is going to be a bloody battle.
