When they finally reached the outskirts of Beast Gathering City, the first thing they saw wasn't the magnificent city walls, but a dense horde of Demon Beasts.
"CAW CAW—!"
A flock of Demon Birds, as dense as rising black smoke, circled high in the sky. They watched predatorily for any lone Beastman as valiant warriors of the Eagle Clan battled against them.
Meanwhile, the wingless Demon Beasts were baring their fangs and claws as they scrambled up the city walls.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
Massive stones were hurled from atop the city walls.
The massive boulders crushed a portion of the Demon Beasts, but thousands upon thousands more took their place, scrambling madly up the wall in an endless, frantic stream.
The hordes of Demon Beasts poured out of the forest in a ceaseless tide. No matter how many they killed, it was impossible to finish them off—it was a maddening and incomprehensible sight.
"ROAR—!"
