These flames quickly gathered in the air above them before coming together to form giant fireballs.
Once these fireballs had formed, these figures didn't waste any time in bringing their hands down and shooting out these fireballs.
The fireballs made their way through the air and landed accurately on several of the groups of monsters, turning every single monster in that group to a pile of ashes. It didn't matter if they were low grade monsters or middle grade monsters, they were all burnt to ashes in the might of these fireballs.
The ones that threw out these fireballs were magicians and clerics that had been summoned by Baroness Rose to be used as special weapons against the monster wave.
But the problem with them was that…they only had enough mana for one shot.
Plus, their spells weren't strong enough to destroy multiple middle class monsters on their own, which was why Cecilia deployed them when these middle class monsters spread out in these groups.
There was no better chance than now to blow them up.
But once again, the problem was that they couldn't fire another shot since they were out of mana.
The only one that still had mana left was the priest, but he didn't fire another spell.
He knew that he had to save his mana for the future, so he backed down.
This would seem like it was firing their magic too early, but in truth, Cecilia knew better.
She knew that this fight wasn't something that would end quickly, so if she could use these spells to take care of some powerful enemies early, reducing the number of casualties that they would suffer, she wouldn't hesitate to do so. After all, there would be plenty of time for the magicians to recover their mana, especially since they had prepared expensive mana potions for them.
So Cecilia didn't hesitate to have them cast their spells when given this opportunity.
After being bombarded by the fireballs, the monsters quickly spread out so that they weren't as packed together as before.
The fireballs that had landed had killed over fifty of them and injured another fifty or so, but the main thing was that most of the ones hurt were those middle class monsters.
The monsters that had been cut down earlier were mainly the low class monsters that had been forced to charge, with a few middle class monsters being shot down by the specialized archers.
So these middle class monsters being taken down was a large boon to them.
But the fact that these monsters spread out so quickly was a disconcerting sign since it showed that there was someone who was commanding the monster wave.
The next thing that the monsters did put even more despair in the defenders.
Instead of charging forward, the monsters moved back a bit so that they were at a safer range before spreading out to look for something. It didn't take long for the monsters that had gone out to come back with a bunch of stones.
There were large stones and small stones, stones of all sizes that were piled up by the ones that were standing in the front of the monster wave.
These were middle class monsters that all had large builds and were quite powerful.
When Cecilia saw the way that these middle classed monsters were lined up with stones at their feet, she couldn't help feeling a bad premonition. It was as if she could already guess what they were planning on doing…
The monsters standing in front picked up the stones off the ground and then…they started throwing them at the city.
With the powerful arm strength that these monsters had, the stones easily flew through the air, creating a perfect arc before landing on the city walls.
It was a good thing that Cecilia had reacted as soon as she had seen the stones being brought over by the other monsters.
As soon as she saw this, she had her men pull out their shields and spread out. With this net that they created, they were able to use their shields to block the rocks that fell down.
But of course, it was impossible for them to block all of the rocks that fell, so there were still some that hit the walls. The smaller ones didn't do as much damage, but the larger ones…started making cracks in the walls.
Seeing this, Cecilia had no choice but to summon her specialized archers.
Though they couldn't hit the monsters with how far they were, they were still able to hit the rocks that flew at them.
They aimed at the large rocks that fell and shattered them to smaller pieces with their arrows, but there were some that were just too big for their arrows to destroy. So instead of the archers shooting them down, the knights came up to cut those large rocks to pieces.
Just like this, they were able to keep casualties down to a minimum.
However, Cecilia knew that it was impossible for them to continue like this.
She could see that the middle class monsters were swapping themselves out as they threw the rocks, so just in terms of stamina, they would run out before the monsters did. It took them much more effort to cut down the rocks than it did for the monsters to throw them.
The archers weren't able to reach the monsters since they had moved out of their range. Even the specialized archers who had a longer range than normal archers couldn't reach them.
The only thing that could reach them were the magicians with their spells, but their mana had been spent and the only one that could still cast spells was the priest. However, Cecilia wasn't willing to spend this trump card on this since she knew that there was still a commander to this monster wave.
So after thinking about it deeply for a bit, she finally said, "Saddle up! We're riding out!"
