It was around 10 P.M when the sound of the horn woke up the town people. They had already been informed about the beast horde but no one expected it to be this soon.
"We will go help as well," Reece woke up from a deep sleep and shouted at his wife while putting on armor.
"What?! But what about us? And what are you going to do without any training?" she asked worriedly. Reece was just a normal person without any real fighting experience whatsoever. The most he had fought was when he killed a feral rat in the barn some days ago.
He stopped what he was doing and held her hand, "I'll bring them water, stones, arrows, whatever. There are other ways to help than direct confrontation. They are our only line of defense, if they fall, the city is lost. What good will I do here when millions of beasts come raging in through the gate?" he said while kissing her forehead.
She wanted to follow up but couldn't find the words.
*Sigh*
