Abandoned City(2)

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Arsto!" Melissa says. "Where did you go?"

"To find an escape ticket but..."

"I see..."

...

"How many coins are left?"

"One hundred and five thousand," Melissa replies.

The upgrades took 600,000 coins...

"Save the remaining coins to activate the turret's special ability. Each activation costs five thousand coins...I hope it's enough. Anyways, I have something for you." I say and hands Melissa an emerald musket. A dragon is carved on the barrel.

Melissa can feel the pressuring aura from it. "T-This..."

"I climbed within the fortress a few hours ago. It was an empty and desolate city. I found these laying around so we might as well use them."

Melissa nods. I place a gauntlet beside the sleeping Audrey and the other officers' respective weapons beside them.

"Hah..." I let out a sigh as I sit beside Melissa. "Rest. I will too."

...

I close my eyes and immediately dozed off. The uncomfortable environment did not matter.

...

...

...

...

*TING!*

"Nh!?" I jolt when a loud ring blasts in my ears. My short-lived rest felt like a second.

Everyone wakes up to the same notification.

---------------
The Intermission Period is over!

The second wave is approaching!

Total enemies:
×500,000 Goblin Knights
×100,000 Goblin Cavalries
×50,000 Goblin Mages
×100,000 Goblin Vanguards
×50,000 Goblin Catapults
×200,000 Goblin Spearmen
×1 Goblin Commander

Defend the fortress.

"W-What the fuck...?" Melissa mumbles with her eyes wide open.

The number is ten times more than the first wave and it will only get worse from here on.

"H-How are we supposed to win against these numbers?" an officer with orange hair and eyes exclaims. I glance at him. His name should be Leo.

"Leo."

He returns the glance.

"Just fight. That's the only way we can survive. Fight even when our body rips apart. Continue swinging no matter what."

I take out my guns from the storage ring. I originally used my sword as it can clear more goblins but I need to save my energy this round.

"Melissa, when I give you the cue. Open me a path to the commander goblin. If that bastard is down, we can win." I say.

She nods and grips the musket tightly.

Audrey only notices the gauntlet beside her and exclaims "This thing...how did this..."

"Just wear it."

She puts the gauntlet on.

A torch magically appears on each turret, illuminating the surrounding.

We can hear a tsunami of footsteps rushing to our side.

The turrets pull back their arrows and rain hell on those green bastards. Each turret shoots three arrows imbued with mana at a precise and fast speed.

Amid such tension, an additional panel pops up.

---------------

My body glows in a layer of blue and the layer shatters.

I tremble at the sight of such atrocity.

"F-For fuck's sake...you have to be kidding me," I whimper.
