Chapter 379 Final Battle Of Fortress Of Soren II
After the defenders managed to repel the monsters, morales shot up drastically among the soldiers.
"We can defeat those damn monsters!"
"Just stab them and they will die just like any living things!"
"Kill them all and send them back to the hole they came from!"
And so, the soldiers cheered, not knowing it was the only victory they will receive for the day.

"You don't want any more Demon Monsters?"
"Graghh!"
Alros sighed but accepted it. In fact, he was glad as he would not have to lose those valuable monsters that he nurtured.
At the moment, those Demon Monsters have been given many Attribute Crystal and Jewel to strengthen them for the future. He hope to make them into a veritable elite army, with the weakest being top B-rank monsters.
"In that case, let see what you can do with these rabble,"
-x-
"They are coming again!"
"Quick, finish the makeshift barricade!"
"We need to make sure they will not be able to push us deeper!"
Roars of orders filled the fortress as the captains and commanders shouted, trying to prepare the defenders for the next assault.
With the short respite, they were able to form a small defense that hopefully allow them to stop the monsters for a little longer.
"Spears to the front! Swords at the back, prepare to flank the monsters! Archers, keep the barrage and pressure them!"
The soldiers did as commanded as spearmen took the frontline and swordsman have the back. As for the archers, they took any vantage points they could to pepper the monsters with arrows.
The blue haired woman let out a smile despite the dangerous situation the fortress was in, though it was a strained one.
"My mages would leave a big surprise to those monsters,"
-x-
The monsters continue to advance, though they slowed down under the order of their leaders. Gobruk had decided to make sure the rear of the monster forces, as it advanced, would be cleared of any threats, so the forces will not suffer a rear attack by a small contingent of elites.
While it slow them down, it would allow the monsters to not get ambushed and break their lines, which would cause a more significant delay to the plan. And if that happened, the siege might end by tomorrow, which is unacceptable for Gobruk and the other three.
Yet, as they continue their encroachment inside the Fortress, Gobruk feel something wrong, like danger, except he felt it in the fortress.
He turned towards the Demon Goblin Archshaman, an A-rank Goblin variant that mastered magic to a significant degree.
The Archshaman looked around before it made turned towards the Goblin King, urgent growled coming out of him.
Gobruk eyes widen as it send a quick growl to one Goblin holding a war horn. At the new order, the Goblin sounded it three times.
One is for advancing. Two is for halting. Three is for retreating.
-x-
At the sound of the three blow of horns, the monster armies looked at one another before retreating. They might question it but order could not be refusd unless for a good reason.
-x-
"Those monsters are retreating!" Captain Nasyph exclaimed.
"WHAT! The spell is being cast! I cannot stop it in time and neither could my mages!" The leader of Mage Corps said in a panic tone, though she continue her casting.
General Soren looked grave. They had just use one of their trump cards in order to cause as much devastation as they could to the monster force, but it seem they would fail doing so.
"Speed it up," the older man decided. "If we cannot stop it, then make sure to caught as many as possible," the leading Mage nodded as she quicken the speed of her casting.
-x-
The monster forces just have half of their numbers outside the fortress when the roads inside the Fortress glowed with magical light. That was the perquisites to even worse happening as fire erupted from the streets, burning the monsters that did not manage to escape in time.
At the sight of the spell, the monsters panicked and ran towards the exit, even trampling one another to escape certain death.
