Leon spent more mana to reach Fortaleza faster, and thanks to it, he now had thirty-six hours to prepare for the battle. The monsters would come from the West, so all survivors in the city, being soldiers or citizens, were helping on the preparations for the battle, mostly erecting barriers and traps to stop the monsters' advance. Just like Las Vegas, a big part of the city was still destroyed, but the number of houses and other buildings that had been built over the last four years wasn't small either.
Most of the survivors frowned when they saw a piece of earth approach, but thankfully a few soldiers had heard that the Allied Forces of North-America had sent reinforcements, but even those frowned when they saw only three people and one of them didn't have an arm and a leg.
