Chapter 119: Close Encounter

The fight was unlike anything he had ever experienced or seen outside of movies. 56 fired his new weapon over and over at the seemingly never-ending Twisted creatures, each looking uglier and more fearsome than the last. The Lagos Cutters were no threat to him as the hovering trailer kept him far out of their long-clawed reach, additionally the city defenses could handle them without any difficulty. It was the Night Hounds and Plains Strider that gave him, and the city defenses the most trouble.

The Night Hounds would try running up the tower’s sleek sides and bloodied piles of fallen creatures to leap up at the floating Hunters. There were several close calls for the Hunters as Twisted attacked unexpectedly from odd angles. This was because the tower defense robots and turrets didn't target those not directly assaulting their location and provided no assistance for the human defenders.
