"Cornered" 

But can this situation last long? 

As more and more demons gathered, the outermost defensive line was breached over and over again, forcing the contestants to retreat and lose a part of their safe zone territory that they had to protect. 

The warriors at the front line suffered more injuries, and some people had almost died several times or were only left with a slight of breath. 

Without good healers inside the castle, it would be impossible for these warriors to survive. 

The logistic team was also good enough to bravely transport all the injured people back to the castle regardless of the danger around, which further suppressed the chance of casualties occurring. 

However, thirty minutes before sunset, because of the sudden increase of demons on the battlefield, many warriors could not return to the battlefield. 

They could only lie down with bodies full of injuries.
