124 Unexpected Numbers
Unfortunately, their leisurely morning of training was not meant to last.
Before lunch was finished, the Monster Tide was back at the barrier and attacking with such ferocity that it was taking all ten senior Witches from their unit to keep the main barrier active.
Even though the entire front rank burned with Unholy Fire, it wasn't deterring the bloodlust of the Monsters. They just charged through to attack the barrier, charging over the dead to try to reach the witches.
The rest of the unit was at the front line, taking over for units who had been on duty all morning and that had already done their best to thin out the incoming wave before it reached the flank's defences.
Wolfe noticed that today, the defence force's tactics had changed. The unit had built catapults and used their limited magic to set fire and Earth explosion magic on the boulders.
