Chapter 38 The park
After some time the whole group got moving again. Follin had to put in some effort but in the end it got the ball rolling. Rohan stayed close to his team who were more on the right back of the group. Having more people also meant more difficulty in managing everything. The whole team consisted of more than 30 members, some having specific roles and skills while others didn't have a skill yet.
In the beginning the whole group split for some time to cover more ground, but quickly reached a point where it was no longer needed. They were getting close to Duran's Cross.
In front the northwestern pillar of Duran's cross was a large park. More than a kilometer long and a couple hundred meters wide, it was part of the 4 biggest parks of the city. All surrounding Duran's cross. The park was open and sparingly covered with some trees as cover or bushes as decoration.
Some streets before the start of the park, all the groups would gather as final preparations.
As Rohan and the rest of Follin's group arrived they could already see people at the meeting spot. Yono's group had already arrived some time ago and had settled down a bit. Many people were still out and keeping track of the area or scout out the park. Follin quickly lift with Britta and the rest of the team leaders to meet up.
Not long after Charles arrived and joined the meeting with his team leaders.
After some time they settled down close to a building and sat down. Waiting for Britta to return took another 20 minutes.
"Got any games on ya?" Ragnar asked Rohan with a funny face.
"…" Rohan sighed as he looked at Ragnar with a disappointed look.
"Out of jokes?" Britta asked to Ragnar as she had just arrived and stood behind him smiling.
"Anyways the meeting is done, no casualties yet only wounded. We will continue to follow Follin and take the eastern side of the park. There is just a big problem. There is a shitload of satyr's Yono told us."
Britta summarized what the group leaders had discussed and shortly after everyone was called to get ready. Rohan got up with the group and packed his stuff. The park was filled with dozens and possibly hundreds of satyr's. Many were equipped with basic armor and weapons, but all of them were in somewhat organized rows.
The most weird thing was that all the way behind the satyr's there was a giant statue of a satyr with massive horns, at least 30 meters tall made completely out of steel. It was the skyscraper that they had torn down and turned into the statue. It even had glass decorations, but Rohan couldn't appreciate it's beauty from such a distance.
As Follin's team left for the eastern area they finally got a good view over the park. All the mumbling of before was gone in a blink. But Rohan couldn't feel nervous, it felt all too logical that this would be happening. Seeing all the satyr's stand there, waiting on some type of moment give him a confused feeling. Looking at the people next to him it boosted his confidence as they walked on to the park.
Standing on the grass, Rohan waited for some time until Yono made his move. The satyr's kept waiting, not moving a single step.
Yono's group moved more forward as some people stepped forward. Multiple light flashes appeared as RPG's were fired. At the same time the satyr's move in an instant, but they couldn't outrun a rocket.
Different blasts appeared within the satyr's line as Rohan saw some fly up or blow up into different parts. This was their signal to start as the rest of survivors joined the attack.
Rohan had to move forward to be of use, he couldn't hit the satyr's from such a distance. Unlike Jan who was already firing shot after shot. Satyr's fell down quickly one after another as they got closer.
Some more RPG's were fired but soon enough the rest of the survivors moved forward enough to join in. Rohan aimed his gun and pulled his trigger, aiming at the masses instead of the single satyr's.
Rohan saw many satyr's fall to the ground, but many more kept appearing behind the others. He felt some system notifications chime in, but not a lot of them.
Soon enough the satyr's were slowing down until they all stopped and suddenly laid on the ground as a loud booming noise could be heard. Repeating itself in a rhythm it slowly came closer.
Rohan stopped shooting like many others as he looked in the direction of the sound. There on the edge of the park, a large red blazing hot golem approached slowly. It burnt the trees and grass around it and all the satyr's took a long distance from it. The golem was still a far end away from Rohan, but he could see it creep closer.
The satyr's started to fall back slowly as the rest kept firing at them. Dozens of satyr's had fallen already by the hands of the survivors.
Now it was the turn of the survivors to move quickly up front. The golem was more than far enough away to not put too much attention onto it. As Rohan moved up closer he could see many people up front.
Not much further the first dead satyr's could be found. The grass was turning red with blood and organs as the satyr's laid dismembered sprawled around. He could feel his stomach turn around so he stopped looking at the ground, only focusing on the front and the living satyr's. He had already reached the level cap by now, but had a far way until he could get past level 25.
The golem started to get in the range of the RPG's as Rohan saw a rocket fly at the golem. It took the full hit and continued on. The heat made it explode before it could even reach the golem.
