As the battle outside the walls of the Holy City progressed, the players started to realize that this war was not going to be easy.
At first, their morale was all-time high due to the presence of the top experts residing within the city. But as the battle continued, stronger corrupted monsters started to appear. Chieftain Rank monsters became normal mobs as Lord Rank monsters continued to appear.
There were also a couple of Overlords and King Class monsters that were appearing from time to time. But fortunately, those monsters were being dealt with by the strong groups from the side of the players.
But despite having everything under control, the higher-ups of respective guilds on the side of the Holy City were still worried. Especially when the monster horde started to attack the city walls from different directions.
