Capítulo 197: Invasion Incoming
After Rose talked with Dr. Harting and the other people, they came to the east wall right away.
Gerhard was with Hope, Hayley, and Watson, they had been together as Spencer told them until now, but that was about to change.
Because of their roles during a fight they had to be in different units, sticking together wasn't an option anymore, Hope was assigned to Gabriel's sniper unit, Gerhard and Watson were assigned to the frontlines, and Hayley was with Blake and Milo. The preparations for the battle were ongoing.
Gabriel's unit was tasked to go into a tall building near the east gate and scout ahead using their scopes. Hayley was with Milo helping coordinate everyone.
Gerhard and Watson were laying traps down, Gerhard was assigned to a group in charge of making pitfalls. There were two problems for this, the first was breaking the first layer of the floor, after that the rest of the excavation team worked on making it deeper and that was part was easier.
The other problem was the placement of the holes, because of the sewers it was difficult to know the exact place where to do it, without the risk of an accident, so the construction of the holes was still pending until they found some blueprint for them but it was taking longer than what they thought.
Thankfully a white rat appeared to help. When people noticed a rat appear from nowhere some freak-out, others thought off attacking him, but one person recognized the rat and went there before anyone had the chance to act.
Everyone looked at Hayley walking to the white rat. The rat stood in two legs in front of her and kept doing poses, and exaggerated movement with the hands, after a short exchange she nodded and asked all of those who were near her.
"Can someone call Leon? Pinky says that they can help us avoid the sewers."
Some people thought right away 'Who the F**k is Pinky?', but the people that knew about his existence felt surprised by meeting one of the most powerful overlords of the city.
Luckily it was on their side, for the people that have heard of him knew that Pinky was surrounded by a mystery halo, the people that had met him were few, and for some reason, no one was willing to talk about the white rat…
Pinky's existence was filled with legends each one more amazing and unbelievable than the previous. There was a legend that initially there were more Alpha beasts in the city and Pinky take down all of them, it was said that he rescued humans, and steal the heart of some humans maidens thanks to that. It was said that he attacked the NDR base leaving a trauma that they never forgot, lastly it was also said that his troop already won to the all the other Alpha's forces and his rats ate the dead beasts involved in the attack to the Aurora Clinic, the remaining half ran away in fear.
The most incredible part of these legends is that most of them had some truth in them.
Leon came right away, and after a short conversation, he nodded. From nowhere 5 fat rats appeared and started to run around.
"The teams in charge of digging the holes, follow the rats, they will tell us where is safe to work."
People started to move following the rats with some doubts and reluctance.
Leon kept talking with Pinky and explaining what the general plan was. The people that have heard about Pinky before started to spread the rumors about him, the legend grew, people said that the NDR ran away because of him and that the maidens in love were, in fact, Johanna and Hayley. That the voice in their heads giving orders before was his, and that they were defending the east because his rats already took care of the menace in the west…
It might not be true, but besides the part where their two muses fell in love with the rat, the other rumors and legends helped raise the morale for the incoming fight.
It didn't take long after that for the scouts to arrive as predicted by Rose, finally confirmed by a different source that the invasion was happening.
…
(Two and a half hours later)
*Crack
Gerhard lifted the hammer to see the results of the first strike. He already has done this a couple of times in 3 different streets near the east gate.
"One more."
This time he put more strength on the strike. The giant hammer was lifted and rested on his shoulder after breaking the street, and some goons started to take the rubble away. He might be able to break the road in just one attack, but previously it ended in a hole bigger than it should.
"This one is ready! Someone knows how much time we have left?"
"We should finish this one and go back, there is not too much time left…"
This time the first wave didn't split in fast and slower beasts, so they were most likely going to arrive together.
Thanks to Rose estimate and the scout's description they knew that they had about half an hour left.
5 minutes later they were back at the east gate, some protein bars and water were waiting for them to get ready for the fight.
Gerhard sat on the floor and looked around, the rats that directed them disappeared, and Pinky was nowhere to be seen either.
…
On top of a building, Hope was sliding around on her shoes while drinking water from a bottle. They were taking turns to look through the scopes, the unit was composed of 6 people, Hers and Gabriel's were the only fully functional MRGR, the others were advanced high caliber sniper rifles.
They had boxes of three types of bullets for the MRGR and two different types for the regular sniper rifles. Standard bullets and armor penetrating bullets were for both, the MRGR har some bullet that had a special kind of explosive inside that makes them explode on impact.
Hope moved next to the MRGR, it should be her turn already.
Just as she was about to take her position, Gabriel raised his head.
"Give the alarm!!! They are coming!"
One of the guys that was helping them with the supplies nodded and run downstairs.
Hope looked through the scope and saw a group of beasts running, they were moving in different streets but started to converge in this one as planned.
The blockades make it difficult for them to go in another way, but they had some people in the other places in the case that some beast slip by.
She charged a standard bullet on the chamber of the MRGR, with a thought the shell started to rotate faster and faster. As if an invisible force pushed it the bullet left the gun barrel toward the horde.
"Hey, they are too far don't waste bu…"
The bullet hit the wing of a flying duck that was slightly above the horde. The bullet didn't kill it, but it was enough to make it lose the ability to fly and fall in the middle of the stampede where they lost any signal of it.
Gabriel was with his mouth wide open after seeing the shot, he knew that he couldn't hit a shot like that unless he was lucky.
Hope took another deep breath, she put a second bullet on the chamber and looked for her next target.
…
While the first shot came from Hope's weapon, the people that heard it knew that it was starting. A guy came running from the sniper's building screaming for them to get ready.
The team leaders gave orders. The defense lines were put in place, and everything they needed was waiting for the beast to come.
A second shot sound from the building. The dust from the stampede was now visible for everyone. This time the third shot from the MRGR was followed by the other rifles.
The beasts were visible for everyone at this point. Even if they were scared or trembling everyone here was decided to protect their home and their loved ones.
On top of the school, a worried girl was looking at how the situations in both the east and west were evolving.

Capítulo 198: I’ll Do My Best Too
I could see everything that was happening, the snipers started to shut down their main threat, the flying creatures.
Blake knew the potential problem that the flying beasts were for their ranged fighters and sent 3 people to fend them off from the building. They already had a low number of snipers so losing even one of them was something that they couldn't do.
In the front lines, Gerhard was protecting one of the flanks, he was one of the strongest people they had by far, but his weapon wasn't for defensive purposes or good to hold back the beasts that try to penetrate the center of their formation.
I could see as the hammer fell on top of a weak looking pig, the scene turned gory and I didn't want to see that. Hayley was observing the battle at Blake's side. She wasn't acting yet, probably Blake wanted her to save her strength and be ready to act later when the stronger beasts arrive.
On the other side, Spence finished adding the fuel on the forest, this wasn't directly seen by me, but the images were sent directly into my mind by Dante, it fell as I was seeing two movies at the same time.
The battle was ongoing on the east gate, they resisted the attack without significant problems, most of the casualties were taken back with different injuries but none that left them in danger. If Spencer didn't act early in the morning as he did, we would have been taken by surprise, and this would have been a disaster. Thanks to the early preparation we did, they were coping with this beast invasion without having any deadly causalities yet.
The amount of beast was a lot higher than those at the west. I looked farther away to the limits of my clairvoyance.
Another thousand beasts were waiting there, I didn't have spencer's ability to know the ability to see their auras, but I was still capable of see some physical trait that gave them away. There were hybrids, semi-humans and giant beasts in between this group, those are the real strength of the eastern army, the Alpha isn't in sight unless it's smaller than the others or one of the ones I mentioned… but in my mind, the Alpha should be a three-story sized cow.
If the Alpha wasn't in this group, it meant that there is still more power in her army. And that cow already proved to be smart enough to plan ahead and change the plans accordingly to the situation.
Knowing that we were ready for the invasion, the cow was most likely going to adjust the plan and look for some kind of advantage or change the strategy.
*MOOOOOOOOO*
As I expected the second group started to move, but they split into two groups. The first was going to reinforce the first wave. There were no giant beasts in that group, they lacked the space and mobility to do real harm to our group, and they would most likely harm their own team if they weren't careful Instead, the semi-humans were the ones leading the reinforcements. More flying beast also came to take down the long-range attackers.
The second group wasn't moving on the main street as we wanted. I had an idea about what they were planning. The giant beasts started to attack the blockades trying to open a second road and flank the main defense group. I jumped down from the roof and turned into my astral form to fly there to tell Blake about it as soon as possible.
On the other side, Spencer started his second try to achieve resonance with Dante achieving mixed results. It wasn't until now that I noticed that Stan was there too. He stood by Spencer's side defending him from the few beasts that dared to get near him.
I landed next to Hayley followed by my pets. I turned back to my material form.
My sudden appearance surprised her and Blake.
"Rose, don't scare me like that."
"Sorry, I had to come fast, there are high ranked beast trying to destroy the blockade in 7th."
Blake acted right away and send people to handle it. Around me, some people looked at me with curiosity… I know in their face what they were thinking, when did this girl arrive?
I couldn't handle the gazes anymore and decided to leave. I kept watching the situation in both places. A unit was dispatched to harass and see the situation of the group that was trying to destroy the blockade,
I left the east gate and went back to the refuge. Isabella left to help in the hospital, and Cai-Cai was playing with Dana while Hayley's Dad looked after her.
"Lucy go play with Dana and Cai-Cai."
Lucy tilted her head, this was the first time that she was away from me, but she has seen Dana all this time playing with Dante, so she was familiar with her. Dana was happy to see the little bunny and started to pet her head to calm her down. I smiled and looked at them for a while before going back to the roof.
The next part was dangerous, and I can't take her with me. At my side Paws was stretching and rubbing himself against me.
"You are nervous too right?"
The little panther purred peacefully as I touched his head and talked to him.
The Alpha arrived at the place where Spencer was. When I saw Stan running away, I got mad until Dante explained to me that Spencer sent him to set the forest on fire.
Spencer was single-handedly fighting with the D-Rank beasts, he was in a dire situation…
'Shouldn't I go to help him?'
'Not yet.'
It pained me seeing his fight, dodging each attack with millimetric precision, as he countered continually.
In the east, there were no signals of new movements, with the intelligence from the Alpha cow I knew that another attack from another side was possible, but I saw the sea of rats stomp a little unit leaded by a two-story sized bull. At least we don't have to worry about the attack from another side with them covering us.
The harassing that was coming from the squad led by Milo managed to slow down the advancement of the unit that wanted to flank us too.
I saw the smoke rise from the west, in the main battlefield other people also noticed that something was going on in the forest, I could see the worry in the faces of the people that knew about Spencer's mission.
They didn't have the time to worry, the semi-humans have arrived at the frontlines, and not everyone was able to go against them. The first death followed soon after their arrival. Mark managed to defend himself from one of the semi-humans but the second shielder fell soon after.
The morale that until now was high but the sudden loss of two of their comrades hit them hard.
Blake stepped forward almost instantly. Hayley pointed with her hand her first objective and acted together with Blake.
Gerhard moved from his post to face a different D-Rank beast with Watson's help. The snipers focused their fire using their armor penetrating bullets.
They should be all right.
Spencer on the other side was facing the worst problems.
He was already running away towards the fire. Each step each dodge and each wound made me think of appearing there to help him right away, but I knew that I only had one chance, and if I lose that chance it would be most likely the end for both of us…
Six semi-humans were soon taken on fights by our elites, the first one to fall was the one that fought with Blake and Hayley. After that Blake jumped towards the next one, the situation was out of control, the appearance of the D-Ranks from the east invasion forced our elites to focus them, this gave space to weaker beasts to bypass our defense. Hayley concentrated on the beasts that have broken through the frontline.
Spencer was spitting a black liquid, was that ashes from the fire?
He was already surrounded, and the Alpha already caught up to him. One of the beasts spat more fire towards him sealing his path.
He barely avoided the Alpha's attack, that followed the firing of the toad.
I saw it on his face… he was talking with Dante about something. He wanted to try something stupid and dangerous. I couldn't wait any longer. I promised him to do my best too.
'Now~.'
Before his signal came, I was already midway in moving to Spencer.
I used Astral Portal and appeared in front of him facing the Swamp overlord's attack.
