After leading the National Police to victory, Paolo Canlas managed to solidify his prestige on the heart of the people. In the future, he would learn about the secret of aura and gain Aura (Command) that would make sure allies will perform with discipline and confidence.
In the eastern part of the town, near the bridge. The Frontier fought the wild dungeons invasion with several parties of powerful survivors.
Each and every one of the Frontier mbers was experts of their own. They trained individually for a long ti until they could fight with the confidence to survive.
In the long run, the Frontier faction mbers were able to accept the new changes in the world. They were able to bring joy out of hunting monsters and adventuring the wasteland.
Alday Ruan oversaw the battlefield from his apocalypse truck. The wild cetery carriers were weak and offer a good experience for everyone. Still, the best goodies one could find in the town siege were the loot. Also, there's an additional loot that ca from the Dark Priest who constantly summons regular carriers and unique ghouls. It was the black gem that dropped after killing the boss monster.
Although they were used to the attack pattern of the boss monster, they still took so ti before successfully killing the Dark Priest.
And no, the Dark Priest nor its summons didn't beco stronger.
The reason was simple.
The Frontier was using the boss as a training partner for their new recruits.
For soone to beco stronger in a short amount of ti, they need to experience a lot of life-threatening situations. If they survive, they will beco experienced fighters who survived the initial change and their first practical battle.
Confident and battle-hardened warriors regularly appear from the Frontier. Their slogan of becoming stronger together has been effective, and as long as one was willing to work hard, they could beco powerful.
After killing the Dark Priest and regrouping the army formation, the Pillar of Light descended on the east. Even when the monsters couldn't be seen, the nacing presence could be felt from a distance.
The area beca hotter as the ground proceeded to tremble.
In the distance, regular carriers appeared rushing towards the eastern bridge. Most of them were bloody and injured, while also having incomplete limbs.
These regular carriers were the unlucky few who had to run past the Earth Elental's earthen spike surrounding.
Being on top of the truck, Alday Ruan was able to see how many layers of monsters they have to confront.
There were four layers; a horde of regular carriers at the vanguard and the rear, a batch of Fire Elental at the center, followed by a group of Earth Elental.
The injured regular carriers were fast runners and easily overtook the slow Earth Elentals. However, since the Earth Elentals doesn't distinguish enemy or ally, anything that enters its treble sense would be attacked by an earthen spike.
The batch of regular carriers crossed the bridge and t the first line of defense.
The Bruisers.
A group of survivors who loved lee battles. These people had natural adrenaline when fighting in close quarters. They love the rush and excitent one could only get when up close with the enemy.
"Archers ready!"
"Aim!"
"Fire!"
The well-trained group of archers perfectly executed an arcing shot that fell many of the regular carriers.
There were hundreds of regular carriers, but the Frontier isn't one to be underestimated. They have more than five hundred people of expert fighters holding the fort. It was impossible for the enemy horde to plow through their defenses especially when they were properly equipped with decent gear.
The bridge beca a atgrinder. Regular carriers continued rushing forward even when their horde were getting slaughtered at an unbelievable pace.
Things only turned difficult when the Elentals joined the fray. Among the Frontier, no one was able to perfectly remain scot-free while battling them.
The Fire Elentals turned arrows and bone spears into dust with only the scorching heat coming off their bodies. If the materials were of higher quality, the arrows could have reached them.
And to deal with the Earth Elental, they have to first deal with the Fire Elental since they can't advance forward or shoot them from afar.
A few people received degree burns and had to be rushed back to the Black Nurse, a title bestowed to Sheila by other faction mbers since she asks for exorbitant prices every ti she heals soone.
On the other hand, mbers who got impaled by earthen spikes were rushed to the Quack Doctor, a title given to Noel Arada after he got caught doing experints on his patients. In Noel Arada's defense, the patient agreed with the procedure and received proper explanations before and after the operation.
The operation was the reattachnt of a severed arm due to a Destroyer yanking the man's arm off. The procedure failed and succeeded at the sa ti. The arm was reattached but cannot be used due to the nerve's disconnection.
In the end, the Frontier was able to end the battle thanks to the Battlefield Commander, Gener Guevarra, taking risks for the group.
He brought his elite crew and charged forward at the Fire Elentals. His plan was to kill all the Fire Elentals as fast as they could before they get cornered and pushed back to the town plaza. if that were to happen, the whole Frontier would be considered an embarrassnt to the three main powers.
With a bit of casualty on their side, also a burned arm and leg, the Battlefield Commander, Gener Guevarra, prevented the humiliation to co.
His heart and spirit were engraved into his mbers and to so mbers of the Frontier.
After getting rid of the Fire Elentals, the Earth Elentals beca a breeze. It took so ti for the Frontier mbers to deal with the Earth Elentals, but they still did it in the end.
If they only knew the weaknesses of these two elentals, then they could have fought them easily.
Jun took care of a Fire Elental using a fire extinguisher. If the Frontier thought of using water to weaken the Fire Elental, they could have fought more easily. On the other hand, if the Earth Elental was lifted into the air, they would lose access to the earth underneath them.
These secrets were easy to spot and yet people only notice them after so ti. This tactic would be continuously used in the future town siege.
After a brief waiting period, the Pillar of Light shone on the lake waters in the south.
The Alliance of Small Factions did a good job defending the southern waters. Takaw didn't even have to intervene as the Alliance killed all fishn trying to get out of water. Every ti a tide of water ca towards the shoreline, a group of fishn appears above the waterline.
The previous experience with these slimy figures gave the Alliance the wisdom to use spears and pikes as they stabbed the enemies at a safe distance.
Weirdly enough, the Alliance didn't encounter a single Water Elental during the whole monster wave.
It was due to the veteran fisherman intercepting them from underwater. Gilbert took his friends to catch so Water Elentals. The Water Elental dropped good loot when they first killed it during their village occupation of the Lakeside Marina.
By doing this, Gilbert was expecting to get another skill book. Unfortunately, most rare and unique books drop only from naturally raised mutations. Also, the stronger the monster, the better items can be looted.
Still, that didn't lower the value of the dropped orbs from the elentals. Each elental dropped its corresponding orb. Fire Elentals dropped fire orbs, Earth Elentals dropped earth orbs, and Water Elentals dropped water orbs.
