Monster Waves [2]

While their group was fighting in this area against the monster waves, the other groups, the awakeners in the city, and the defense forces were also fighting their own battles.

More than half of the strong Awakeners were sent to Ruins in order to stop the monsters before they came here. Their intention was to lower the casualties. 

Some groups were sent to scout the villages and check if there were any civilians left. 

The battlefield was a cacophony of roars and clashing steel, with Adrian and the others locked in their own fierce struggle. Aria's arrows whizzed through the air, taking down the smaller monsters in quick succession, while Aurelius and Ren fought back-to-back, cutting down anything that came too close. Even as they fought, the tension in the air was thick.
