Beast Wave 5

Over a hundred Molemen arrived to kill the last humans. Several Foreman were scattered among the large group of Molemen descending upon Jon's Guild's camp. The Foremen then ordered several spear wielders to toss their weapons. In a swift response, many spears flew through the air.

"Hide behind something!" screamed Jon. The iron spears made the base camp look like a porcupine. Jon hugging the outer wall, noticed several spears pierced the hut. "Blue, check on the ones in the hut." Refocusing his attention back on the incoming hoard, Jon knew they were in trouble. He could hear screaming from the hut, and most everyone outside froze in fear.

"Jon. They attack," declared Dirknooth, ready for battle with shield and shovel in hand.

Many Molemen charged the camp. The grunts triggered Dirknooth's many trapholes falling prey to his hard work. Tripping over and spikes piercing their feet, many Molemen couldn't continue. Jon started picking up spears and tossing them. Being his first time throwing spears, his accuracy wasn't too bad and managed to kill a few incoming Molemen. Dirknooth managed to fight off the ones who made it to the wall. The probing attack was barely fought off with just the two of them.

Jon turned and cursed at the people just standing there. "If you don't want to die, quit spacing out. I need help on this damn wall."

Dirknooth looked at the cowardly humans and sneered. He beat his shovel against his shield in anger at them.

Blue walked out of the tent with anger in his eyes. "A spear pierced Chou in the gut," Blue announced solemnly. "The kids and George survived." Blue gripped his pickax tightly and stood next to Jon. He then looked at him, "I will kill every single one that gets close to our camp." Something inside Blue triggered seeing the children scared and Chou dead.

Jon just nodded back at his friend. Jon was done talking and knew the next wave would be upon them soon. He turned back towards the hoard to see a large Moleman made its way to the front rank. The creature wore an iron helm and held a heavy iron spear. Lifting his spear to the sky, the monster commanded the entire hoard attacked.

About a hundred monsters charged at the human's last little camp. Jon wasted no time and began tossing one spear. This time he wasn't aiming at all because he knew it would hit a creature if it were thrown. Jon heard a notification go off as another spear he threw killed a Moleman charging them.

*Ding* **Player Jon has leveled up**

Jon decided to add all his extra stats to the strength and constitution to increase his stamina.

As the Molemen finally made it to the wall, a swift pickax penetrated skull after skull. Blue wasted no time putting his mining experience to use. Every head that popped over the wall received a speedy strike.

Dan and Pedro finally started defending their wall. Jon's words fell on deaf ears for Mary. She curled into a ball against the wall. "We're gonna die," Mary repeated over and over again.

Jon didn't have the luxury to comfort anyone. If he, Dirknooth, or Blue lightened up at all, the wall would've collapsed already. Bodies began to litter the ground, and Molemen behind them just stepped over their brethren to reach the camp. At this point, Jon stopped throwing spears and used his daggers to fight the few Molemen who got over the wall.

The Molemen snuck around to the gate and busted through it. Jon seeing this ran over and killed the front two Molemen with a perfect knife throw to face.

"Goblin Smash!" Jon kicked one of the dead Molemen at the ones behind it, causing them to fall backward. With Pack Mentality and his strength increased, Goblin Smash was easily twice as strong now. A large Foreman Moleman leaped over the group toward Jon. Coming down with a Pickax, the Foreman tried to smash Jon. Activating Rat Sprint, he dodges the strike and plunges his own weapon into the Foreman's ear. Ripping out the blade, Jon looked out at the never-ending hoard surrounding them.

Beside him, Dirknooth lost his shield and was only fighting with his trusty shovel. Blue had a few wounds but entered a frenzied state killing Molemen. Dan, in the rear near Mary, was injured. Mary finally picked up her spear and began fighting to protect Dan. Pedro was holding up the best next to Jon. He had few wounds, and once he started seeing the monsters as wheat, his scythe became unstoppable defending the far side of the camp.

Seconds turned to minutes and minutes turned to an hour. The Molemen were using their numbers to exhaust these remaining humans. The Foremen didn't even attack anymore, just the grunts. Glad that he increased his stamina, Jon pulled out his dagger from another Moleman. Leveling up throughout this fight is what kept his strength up. Standing there, he would defend the opened gate with his life, and by now, Jon accepted they all were probably going to die.

*KABOOM*

A loud explosion rang out from the rear of the hoard. Something had just attacked the Foremen and killed several of them in one attack.
