3879 The Last Horde IV

Chapter 3885 The Last Horde

"Have you noticed it?" I asked the captain, as my sword and lances, kill the monsters around me.

"What?" he asked.

"In the past fifteen minutes, the numbers of the monsters are nearly the same," I replied, and a surprise flashed in his really.

"Really? I thought, it is keep increasing," he said, to that I shook my head. "No, they have remained the same," I repeated.

Yes, I am counting monsters or rather m clones, and their numbers are increasing as they had been in for over three hours. I also noticed the changes in the monster; it is moving around its spot.

I had not reported that to him.

If I am not wrong, the leader is getting frustrated. I would have been too, if I had been in its spot. It had sent a truly insane number of monsters at us, but despite that, we were still standing.

"It is good news," he said. "Not really," I replied, cutting through the squid and he sighed, killing the group of squids with arrows.

"It didn't matter, as long as it keeps up with such numbers; it will be able to end us," he said, understanding what I meant.

"It didn't change our plan. If the leader didn't come to us in twenty minutes, we will move at it," he said, stating the original timeline of the plan.

We have made a plan to charge toward the leader. It is an extremely risky plan from which we might not be able to come back, but it is the only thing we could do to end the battle.

We are getting tired and won't be able to last for more than an hour. We need to do something or we will become food for the monsters.

As for why we are not doing it right now instead of waiting. It is the same reason, we hadn't done it in the beginning, and only did it become we are utterly desperate and see no option other than it.

We are waiting because we need to kill as much as monsters as possible.

So, when charged at it, we wouldn't get surrounded by the massive number of monsters, who would kill us all before we could even reach the leader. It is for this reason, that we haven't done that.

We had fought a large number of monsters, and if they had surrounded us, it would have been an end for us.

They have tried to do that here, but have placed us strategically. Our strategy had finessed over tens of battles, and even after three and a half hours, we had really changed our places.

Nearly everybody had been in the same place they had been.

This gives us an edge against the monster; through this, all of us can play by our strength.

The captain gets the complete freedom to aim anywhere from his position, while the middle members can attack with long-range attacks, without getting surrounded by the monster.

The others deal with them; never letting the overwhelming number of monsters reach them.

Still, it could all collapse, and it would collapse if we didn't deal with the horde soon. Everybody is near their end, using everything they have.

Minutes passed as I killed every monster that came at me. Those, I could not. The captain and others dealt with them; there were a lot of such monsters.

To be honest, after the breakthrough, I was pretty proud of myself, but these past three weeks have brought me to my knees. Forget people; there are countless monsters in this horde, that could kill me if I am without my shields.

Though the difference isn't big; I know their strength better than them and by the time, I reach the limit, I will have the same strength as them.

It is going to take time; the time I don't have.

If I were fighting this battle, a year or two later, I would have been doing much better than I am right now, but I am not and thus need to fight with what I have.

It is still better than many people, especially those in the stomachs of the monsters.

People have died, more than we liked. We have tried to save them, but we couldn't save everyone. The battle is dangerous enough, that we couldn't be killed if we are not careful enough.

Hun!

I was thinking that when thousands of tiny palm-sized fishes came out of the water and came at us like bullets.

"Fuck!"

I heard the curses behind me, and the people summoned the shields and at the same time, launched long-range, and attacked toward the energy.

Sup Sup Sup!

Thousands of blue palm-sized needles materialized around me, and I shot them toward the coming fishes.

We are calling these tiny fishes black rayon fishes. They are very fast and have sharp blades around them that can cut through the metal without any resistance; they are also the enemies that killed a lot of our people when they attacked the first time.

Puch Puch Puch

My long-range attacks, including my needles, pierced through them, but some still came out through it, with one group coming toward me.

Rip Rip Rip!

My blades ripped through them, but one was able to avoid it and cut through me. My neck, to be exact.

The cut was small, but it shook me, seeing how effortlessly the little fish was able to cut through my armor. If I hadn't moved, it would have decapitated me, like it did to the person not far away from me.

It took less than five seconds for it to go over, but it had turned everyone's expressions heavy as it always does when these fish attacked.

The other monsters didn't stop and moved to attack us. We responded, I mean, what else we could do?

Hun!

I moved my sword and lances against the monsters, attacking me when I nearly stopped.

The thing we have been waiting to happen had happened.
