"This Beast Tide is a bit on the large side."
"Tell me about it. I heard the temporary fortifications are taking heavy losses. They sent another legion over yesterday to reinforce them."
"Good thing we're in the rear."
A towering, gray-black wall stood like a giant, stretching between the buffer zone and the city perimeter.
The interior of the wall, studded with firing ports and cannon muzzles, was a world unto itself. It was like a massive bunker and fortress, large enough to house tens of thousands of people on rotating shifts. From time to time, men could be heard discussing the recent Beast Tide, their voices laced with worry.
「At this very moment.」
Near the sluice gate area on a tributary of the Red River, a City Guard Army unit of over a hundred men guarded the area from within the high wall and its surrounding watchtowers.
The radar system was active around the clock. A dedicated operator stood guard, eyes glued to the detection readings on the monitor.
