Chapter 228: Destruction of Furim City
2 minutes before the agreed 5 minutes, several figures excited their home, clad in their armor and combat robes. The leading which merely stare at them, already expecting they will try to rally the people.
She could all of the remaining 20 B-rankers, all in different places as their presence gave hope to the people. Despite the flame of despair she unleashed towards them being washed away by the B-rankers, she did nothing to spot them. After all, their lives are forfeit already, with the exception being the women, so why should she do anything about it.

"Ready your arms! Those who want to fight grab any weapons you can get your hands on! Those who don't, stay inside and don't do anything that could worsen the situation!" the captain of the guards said, though he did not know how the situation here could get worse.
Whatever it is, he at least try to fight against their inevitable doom.
"Sir, the mayor is dead," one of the guards he sent to the mayor reported.
"What? No wonder he did nothing," while the man is not the bravest, at the very least, he will not remain hidden in such crisis, that is one thing he sure of as the captain who served the man the longest.
"Get ready, from the look of it, the gate will breached," the captain's word came true as three large golems break down the gates of one side of the walls, along with some part of the walls, allowing monsters to enter and began the massacre.
"Guards! Charge!" he roared, jumping headfirst towards the wave of monster.

As the monsters entered city, the guards, adventurers, and volunteers did their best to stop them. However, despite their best efforts, fatigue not to mention being unused to fighting inside the city made it harder for them to defend the city.
Not to mention, the monsters they face are stronger than the regular Cave Beast dwelling at the shallows of caverns. Moreover, a lot of the monsters are at C-ranks, with some B-ranks can be seen, breaking through the formation of defenders.
Yet, in spite of such odds, the defenders did their best to protect the people, as they become the walls to replace the one that had been taken down before. Even so, it merely prolong their doom, as the B-rankers of both side soon square off.

"So, you are one of the witches leading this assault," an adventurer with heavy armor said grimly, looking at the beautiful woman wearing what many will consider just underwear.
"Yes, and I would like to have a toy as gruff as you," she said in a seductive tone, showing of the curves of her body.
The adventurer tried to stop himself, knowing the witch in front of him likely a master of charm spell, or she would not dress so provocatively.
"Come on, big boy, look at me," he did his best to do the opposite, though his willpower could barely hold on.

Another adventurer square off against another B-rank foe, though this time, it is of a monster variant.
"So, how did the witch able to get monsters to join them in their revenge scheme," the adventurer, a woman in black shirt, red coat over it, and brown short look at the monster in front of her.
The Arachne merely looked at her, lightly tilting it's head before jumping towards her once more.
"Not much of a talker, eh? Well then, I should be enough to fill the silence between us,"

"Aahhh!" one guard find themselves being squeezed to death, their eyeballs popping the sockets due to the pressure of the serpentine body around them.
The Lamia then looked upward, titling it's body to the side to avoid an arrow.
"Dammit," the archer retreated, jumping on the balcony as the Lamia chase after him, wanting to kill the man for his attempt.

All over the cities, the B-rankers of both side become the main pillar, the only reason why the defenders stopped finding themselves overwhelmed by the monsters. The leading witch could even see the people starting to gain hope.
She snorted, the hope will be extinguished soon enough.

As the heavily armored adventurer block another attack of the seductress of a witch, he felt himself getting dizzy.
"What the-" "Oh my, looks like the poison finally get to you," the adventurer's eyes opened widely at the mention of poison.
"Looks like this is the end of thing between us. And I hope to have some more fun," was the last thing he heard before the staff slammed onto his head, his vision went dark immediately after.

One by one, the B-rankers of the defenders side die or captured, allowing the B-rankers of the monster waves to dive straight into the stronger soldiers, turning it into a one-sided massacred.
As the guards, adventurers and volunteers die, the only one that manage to survive, albeit captured are the women, and some men the witches wanted to torture. Even the children likely not survive, the demon had ordered the destruction of the entire city, with the one not killed being enslaved.
As the monsters wrecked havoc through the defenders, the leader of the assault looked at the houses at the back, where most of the non-combatants, as well as the cowards who did not want to give their life for others, are.
She quickly gave an order to give the defenders a quick death. There are more people deserving a painful death that is still in the city.

"Run! The monsters are here!"
"Shhh, keep quiet, or the monsters will find us,"
"Please, don't come here,"
The people of Furim City find themselves terrified, and in hiding, hoping the monsters will not come here or repelled by the defenders. A hope that shattered when they heard the growling and roaring.
Some, unable to contain themselves tried to run away, only to find themselves killed immediately. While some find themselves found by the monsters, and met a grisly death.
As for the young and beautiful women, they find themselves captured by the monsters, and were bound by the thread of Arachne and Cave Spiders, not knowing what their fate would be.
Though, from the looks some of the monsters gave them, they could guess what will happen. As screams of terror filled the city, the leading which only watch with apathy, though in her head, she do wonder if she will get a reward for this from her demon of a master.
