Standing firm against the monsters pouring out of the dungeon entrance shortly after the last few holding the line inside had been forced to retreat, it didn't take long before the overwhelming number of monsters began pushing back against the adventurers. The sheer might of the monsters and their overwhelming advantage when it came to numbers rendered the adventurers rather hopeless in how to hold them back. After all, the defense inside Howling Cave City had been set up at the last minute and barely brought them a slight advantage in this confrontation.
An advantage that was mitigated rather quickly due to how many of the adventurers holding the line were already injured or exhausted to the point where they wouldn't be able to join the battle for the city. The only positive was that a few A and B Rank Adventurers had been stationed outside the dungeon to ensure that the guild managed things properly outside the dungeon and had people capable of healing those injured coming over.
