The ground trembled as the horde of beasts closed in on the soldiers' barricade, the earth quaking under the weight of their ferocious charge. The soldiers stood with their weapons drawn. Their faces set with grim expression and fear. The cacophony of the beasts' roars grew deafening as they approached.
The first wave of beasts hit the barricade with the force of a crashing wave. Their jaws snapping at the soldiers who met them with spears and swords. The impact was brutal. Shields splintered and bodies were thrown backward as the beasts crashed into the lines.
"Hold the line!" the commander bellowed. His voice straining to rise above the din of battle. His sword flashed and cutting down a beast that had leaped over the barricade. Blood sprayed as the creature fell, but another took its place almost instantly.
