Locusts
Karl kept up the low-power attacks as the locust swarm began to dwindle under the combined firepower of the town and the efforts of the Elites. Jodi and Daniel were currently using rifles, as they were close combatants, but they were highly skilled with them, and every shot counted against the pure numbers of locusts.
"How long can you keep that up?" The man beside Karl asked as another fence of four rend attacks tore apart the front lines of the swarm.
"Long enough. They're going to be here before I'm worn out." Karl replied.
"Perhaps not, lad. Just wait. Once they're close enough we will start with the explosives, and that should thin them out quick, fast and in a hurry." The man informed him with a smile.
