Rea narrowed her eyes while panting. She had gained some distance from the monsters.
When she glanced back, she saw the monsters were being pushed back. Due to the huge class, she could see that there were at least one thousand monsters that died in the engagement.
So, she thought she had done enough for the time being.
Although she couldn't defeat all the unique monsters here, she at least managed to reduce their number to a third of what they previously had.
After killing some monsters, it seemed that the commander had enough people to prepare a counterattack.
More than five hundred people, made of the combination of Fighters, Knights, and Assassins, split up from the main group and headed straight to her position to help.
She should be able to catch some breath for a moment before eliminating the rest of the unique monsters.
'It should be fine to let them fight first. I'm going to catch some breath and get the status report.' Rea turned around while waving her hand as if signaling the people to attack them.
They could clearly see the sign and immediately sped up. The monsters also tried to thin their number, but the knights kept their shields high, maintaining a defensive barrier. There were some cracks, but they managed to reach her position without losing a single barrier yet.
As soon as they passed Rea, a person wearing a military uniform came to her.
"How are we going to do this?"
"Commander Orcus, you have to keep them busy for a moment. You don't have to push yourself to kill them. Just buy enough time for me and the rest of the people to handle the enemies before us. After that, I'm going to eliminate the rest of the unique monsters."
"Understood." The man nodded without hesitation and immediately picked up his pace to follow these men so that he could relay the message.
After giving the instruction, Rea finally grabbed her radio and asked, "I need the situation report."
"We've killed roughly 1,500 monsters. Only a hundred of our men have died during the clash and the injured ones are being taken care of by the healing squad.
"We have received a few reports from the headquarters. Firstly, the monsters are trying to use these monsters as a shield to keep us at bay. Meanwhile, the rest of the monsters are looping around the base to strike us from behind."
Rea narrowed her eyes. "Shouldn't we stop them? Do we have enough people in the south?"
"Wait a second. I've just received another report…" The commander fell silent for a moment, reading the report. And he started gasping, confusing Rea.
"What's wrong?" Rea had a bad feeling about this.
"The attack from the south is a distraction. The real attack is from four to five hundred unique monsters that are coming here."
"What?!" Rea widened her eyes in shock. "There are approximately fifteen to twenty unique monsters per defense area. Fifteen of them are held back here while the rest are spreading. How about them?"
"Our force manages to hold them back. We have made sure to stop them with two Mythical Rank Experts from our side."
"Alright…" Rea looked down for a moment, calculating the enemy number. "From the looks of it, they have approximately a thousand unique monsters. No, it can be more than that, but only around one thousand unique monsters that participate in this battle.
"Still, I don't have the ability to stop more than a hundred unique monsters at once. And even if the rest of the Mythical Rank Experts help me… I don't think we have enough manpower to defeat these monsters.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the enemies are going to break through before we expect it."
While Rea was thinking about the situation, the commander also gave another report. "Excuse me, but before you think about your next move, I think you have to know that the Griffith Family will be moving to our battlefield in three to four hours."
"What?" Rea wondered how much the battle had progressed since everything had changed drastically. And the fact that the Griffith Family would be moving toward them meant they would leave that area empty.
"The monsters will continue no matter how obvious the sign is. Agata should know about this. If that's the case, it seems that there will be reinforcement in that area. I don't think I have to focus on that area first.
"Instead, I should worry about the monsters that will come to this battlefield. The Griffith Family will be here, but if we're being breached before they arrive, then the battle is already lost."
Rea gulped down before thinking of another instruction. "I need your help in the coordination."
"How do you plan to stop them? There will be hundreds of unique monsters coming, right?"
"Yeah. Even with the Griffith Family, we won't be able to stop all of them. So, this will require a lot of coordination." Rea paused for a moment. "We'll execute plan C, E, and F in rapid succession. If the Griffith Family has arrived, we'll change back to the first tactic.
"Inform each army's captain to handle the coordination. That's the only way to stall them."
The commander fell silent for a moment. He was imagining what was going to happen if they executed the tactics in succession. These were the tactics Rea had told him before the battle began. Since it was hard to move the army at a large scale, she programmed a few patterns so that it would be easier to execute.
Although the movement was hard, it wasn't impossible. The commander nodded. "Alright. Let's do it that way."
Rea's area would be hit the hardest. After all, both Ray and Rea had a hard time because their power was not very effective against the enemies.
As for Ava's area, it was completely safe since Ava's ability was effective and Felix would be helping her.
So, all that mattered was the middle area, which the Griffith Family left behind. Who was the person strong enough to change the Griffith Family?
