Darlene’s face changed. “But, Captain, you guys—”
“No more arguing. Go!” Alan snapped.

Then Olivia’s voice suddenly came through the comms. “Message from Military Command! Open the Divine Barrier Wall!”
Everyone froze for a second. For Danny, this was good news.
For the rest of them, it really wasn’t.
Alan quickly shouted, “Darlene, move now!”
Darlene didn’t waste another second.
Bianca was about to leave too. Steven had taught her before: on the battlefield, you obey orders.
Still, when she looked at Steven, her eyes were full of worry. She had only just arrived.
‘Steven, be careful.”
‘I will. I’ll be fine.”
Bianca climbed into the armored vehicle, still reluctant to leave.
But this was to save Steven’s teammates.
‘Echo! Put the healing system on standby!” Bianca called out.
‘Yes, boss.”
Bianca sprinted like a blur and rushed toward Darlene’s group.
Once she got into the armored truck, Darlene helped stabilize Danny’s injuries while Bianca drove away at full speed.
Steven finally let out a breath. As long as Bianca was gone from here, he could relax a little.
Alan immediately gave more orders. “Uriah, Steven, prepare to open the Divine Barrier and connect with the other squads!”
“Roger!”
“Roger!”
“Caleb, prepare for fallback!”
“Roger!”
The Divine Barrier Wall was formed when multiple Awakened squads linked then barriers together into

unc massive defensive line.
##Finished
If things had reached this point, it meant many squads had already suffered heavy losses. Some no longer had enough strength left to maintain their barriers.
So they had no choice but to combine forces and build a larger wall between the city wall and the monster tide.
That way, each team only needed to guard two barrier stakes while the others went out to hunt monsters.
On the surface, it sounded efficient.
But in reality, everyone’s workload increased sharply. Their stamina would drain much faster.
And with the defensive line stretched wider, they also had to stop monsters from digging underneath the barrier wall.
Still, they had no better option.
Olivia’s voice rang out again. “Prepare to open the Divine Barrier Wall!”
Everyone tensed up.
Steven gripped his spear tightly and waited.
Olivia received the signal.
‘Open it!”
Steven and Uriah moved at the same time, changing the flow of the barrier stakes.
Instantly, barrier walls from both sides began moving toward them.
From high above, it would look like beams of light rapidly connecting across the battlefield.
Alan shouted, “Everyone fall back and rest for now!”
Once the barrier was opened, the monsters would not attack it immediately.
Instead, they would rush toward the open areas first.
That
gave everyone a short break.
Once the beasts reached the outer wall, the military would launch heavy attacks and wipe out large numbers of them.
Only after that would the monsters turn back toward the barrier wall.

Edric, Mason, and Caleb headed toward Uriah’s barrier stake.
Louie stayed beside Alan
Nicole also appeared. The two ranged assassins stood on opposite sides of the captain.
Alan looked at Steven and Fiona.
“Can you keep going?”
Steven nodded. “Yeah. I’m fine.”
Fiona also nodded firmly. “No problem.”
Alan gave a small nod.
‘From now on, don’t go too far from the barrier stake. Leave the outer fighting to us.”
Steven agreed immediately. This was not the time to act tough.
just then, someone walked over from outside the barrier.
The man appeared wearing battle armor.
Everyone was stunned.
Why are you here? Your injuries aren’t healed yet!” Steyen asked.
Peter shook his head.
‘I’m okay. I’ll help guard the barrier stake. I won’t push myself too hard.”
Alan simply said, “Stay safe.”
Peter nodded.
