Chapter 84: CHAPTER 84 – Fighting a Herd.

The raiders were ready with their bodies tensed and weapons clenched, they knew that a fight against a herd was not going to be an easy one.

Yeah, it won't be a fight where they would have to fight a powerful opponent as they did with the Giganotosaurus, but here they will have to face who knows how many beasts at once.

This is one of the reasons why scouting teams are not made for raids, but now that they were here, they knew that they had to fight no matter what.

Then they turned towards Alex and Alice and their tension lessened a bit. They had two monsters, one greater than the other by their sides, so they knew that even if those two didn't fight, they would still not let their guildmates die.

No one could see Ann as she seemed to have vanished again, probably lurking around on the field, ready to interfere if any problem were to occur just like Alice and Ann.

The raiders didn't have to wait for long as they could hear the blares of beasts while the ground below them also started vibrating a little.

They could see a big herd with at least 50 beasts in it moving towards them. They could see many herbivore beasts running towards them without any intention to stop.

If the raiders didn't do anything then they would simply be crushed under the herd of beasts where even a single beast weighed more than 2 tons.

In the gate, whether they are carnivores or herbivores, every beast would initially harbor hostility towards the raiders that enter the gate.

That was just how the gate worked, and right now the beasts running towards them were looking towards them with hostility clear in their eyes.

They may be angry about the massacre that happened here earlier as they might have lost their family members in it or maybe they were just attracted here by the large tornado that Alex summoned.

Whatever the reason was the beasts didn't look like they were going to just pass through the raiders without doing any harm to them.

However, there was one thing that brought relief to the raiders and it was that, unlike carnivore beasts, the herbivore ones don't bite or slash, they simply smash and slam, and things like that could be avoided.

There were many beasts in the herd, ranging from 1.5 – 2 meters tall Sphaerotholus to 6-7 meters long Parrosaurus. However, if someone asked the name of the most dangerous one among them then they were the triceratops.

They are dangerous because, just like any other herbivore beast, they also slam, crash, or smash, but their slam could kill a person if the horn on their head pierces the said person.

The raiders got ready as the herd approached, but just then they heard Alex's voice.

"It would be better if you guys would team up with each other, one would deflect or attract attention while the other would kill."

None of them questioned and quickly formed teams.

"Scatter around and don't stay still, if you stay close then you will have to fight a higher number of beasts as they will all just come towards you, but it's different if you are scattered.

Fabron would just move freely and kill the beasts that would somehow dodge Claire's earth spike.

They had nice teamwork, and they were doing great, but Alex knew that they were taking a very big risk.

It was good till Rufus could dodge the beasts, but what would happen if one or two beasts somehow managed to land a hit on Rufus?

Because of Rufus being hit, he would lose balance and might as well fall to the ground, which would bring down Claire as well, and even if Rufus could somehow survive the beasts passing over him, Clair would die if even a single beast were to ram into her.

The beasts were not just your everyday beasts, they were all A-ranked, after all.

With Claire's death, they would lose their attacker, and Rufus who is on the ground is not going to survive for long as well since the beast would just continue to run over him.

That's two deaths, just because of a single mistake.

But nothing like that happened and even if it happened, Alex, Alice, or Ann would save them before they get hurt.

Just like that, after 20 minutes of continuous struggle, the raiders finally killed the herd of beasts, and now that they could count the beasts, their count was actually close to 100.

Every raider sighed in relief that they were just facing some herbivore beasts. If it were a herd of carnivore beasts, they might as well be dead by now, though it was in case they didn't have Alex and Alice.

But looks like they sighed a bit too early as just when they thought that they would get some rest they heard...

*SCREECHHHH!!*
