"How can this happen?" the Chief commander of the capital troops slammed heavily on the table as he asked the commanders that were present at the meeting.

Though they didn\'t say anything, their expressions told everything.

"You ask us, who should we ask?" this is what they all thought. Everything they knew, the chief knew. There is nothing extra that they only knew. They can\'t answer the commander that.

They can\'t say what they thought either as that could be considered insubordination, especially now that the situation they are facing is very problematic.

An hour ago, they received news that the monster tide appeared before the estimated time and there was no warning from the scouts. There was no contact from them. It was as if they disappeared up into the air.

The message was to send for reinforcements as the estimated number of casualties increased and the chances of the town falling increased too as they were caught with their pants down.

To rectify the situation, they needed some reinforcements that would fill in the gaps in the defences that would appear as the battle went on.

The higher-ups were deciding on that matter.

They can\'t just pluck some troops assigned to a location where they were needed, and send them to Repest to resist and end the monster tide. No, they can\'t do that because doing that would open gaps in the defence that the enemies can utilize.

The higher-ups can\'t make such a decision without a proper argument. They need to properly consider the pros and cons of moving the troops that were already deployed.

If anything bad happens because they moved the wrong troops, then that would be the end of their career. No one would want that to happen, ever.

Moreover, they believed that even if the reinforcements were delayed the town\'s defences could hold on for a few hours. Before that, they would send the reinforcements required and would end this problem at the same time decreasing the casualties and damage that could be caused by the monsters.

Everything was still under their control and they had yet to lose control over the situation.

It was then the news came that the monsters broke through the defences and were able to enter the town. they didn\'t come in a conservative way after dealing with the defenders and breaking the walls.

No, they used underground monsters for this purpose. The underground monsters dug tunnels facilitating the monsters to enter the town. Unlike what they had to face to break through the defence forces and the walls that stopped them from entering, this way was easier.

Moreover, they directly entered the core of the town, where only the support personnel and wounded are located. They are not someone who can stand up against the monsters.

The support personnel can\'t fight and the wounded would not be in a state to fight, making it easy for the monsters to eliminate them.

After they were eliminated, their target would be the spell casters, who were usually the ones that caused a lot of deaths among monsters whenever a monster tide appeared. The spell casters, though usually suck at one-on-one fights, when it comes to large-scale battles, they are the backbone of any army.

The only problem as mentioned was they couldn\'t fight enemies that were near them. There are veterans who sought to bury this weakness by learning some close-combat skills or weapon arts, but they are very few as training in a skill that doesn\'t have anything to do with your class is a burden.

Whenever one ranks up, they get class skills and they are at the highest level. What the professional has to do is understand that skill well. They won\'t need to suffer as if they are learning something new.

Of course, even if you get a powerful skill, your rank may restrict the true power of that skill. That was not much of a problem. As long as you rank, you can experience the full capacity of the skill.

The problems come from skills that people learn, rather than granted by the system.

These skills start from level 1 and end at level 100 but to this day none were able to reach level 100. There were even rumours that maybe level 100 don\'t exist or maybe it was not the end. This can\'t be verified as of now until someone reaches level 100.

Anyway, the issue was there were not many who could challenge the monsters once the rear end of the frontline from the town\'s centre.

Once that happens, the fall of Repest is guaranteed.

The warriors that are fighting on the ground are not weak but most of their skills are not AOE skills. They can\'t do much damage to multiple targets as spell casters do.

They are well useful for guard duties, to protect something or someone but in these battlefields, unless they cross to Tier-7, they don\'t impact large areas at the same time as the spell casters do.

Without the spell caster\'s support, they would be overwhelmed by too many monsters at the same time. they can\'t fight more at the same time and it is why everyone believes that once the spell casters are gone, they will fall quickly.

"Now that monsters have breached through the town, there are only two options before us and not much time. One is to order the town to retreat from the town. Two we immediately send reinforcements to support the town from collapsing", the chief spoke.

Seeing that none of them responded, "Now damn it. Say something about what we should do", he shouted which caused some answers to spill out of their mouths, but they appeared to be arguments rather than solutions.

The reason why they didn\'t say anything in the first place was because if their idea brings any damage to the kingdom, then they would be the ones that get punished. Of course, the rewards would be theirs too but the risk was too much now to act.

"Shut up everyone. I want a solution, not arguments. If you are too afraid, then I would take the responsibility myself. My decision is to..."
