”Fire!”
The catapults flung large boulders, which were closely followed up with cannon fire. The walls of the castle crumbled more with every shot that landed.
”Dammit! Be careful!”
”Watch out for falling debris!”
It was a large castle, but it was powerless against the continued bombardment. It was crumbling quickly, meaning two different things to the soldiers from each side.
”They have cannons too…”
”It's just old cannons that they fixed up.”
”Lieutenant Hollin! Where is our artillery?”
”Our cannons were hit, sir.”
The cannon emplacements were the first to go down from the Dentrion Kingdom's catapults and cannon fire. There was no other way to strike back. And with large parts of the walls destroyed, it was hard to counterattack with machine guns too.
”Aaargh! My leg!”
”Get that rock off him!”
”Sergeant Krick! Medic!”
”Move him to the side!”
”The North Wall is almost gone!”
”The West Wall has a hole!”
With large portions of the walls destroyed, the Dentrion soldiers began to advance into the castle.
”They are coming in!”
”Fight back! We are Empire soldiers! Protect the castle!”
Arrows and bullets flew through the air. Heavy machine guns were fired and many died.
”Forward! Go! We are the soldiers of Dentrion!”
”Kill those demons of the Empire!”
”Kill those who sent our brothers and sisters into hell through the Gate!”
The soldiers from Dentrion shouted something incredible and Empire's soldiers frowned.
”What?!”
”They're crazy! Do they seriously believe that bullshit?!”
”Ugh… so that's why…”
The Empire soldiers kept fighting back with heavy machine guns but it was no use. The Dentrion frontlines soldiers were equipped with large steel shields. They were very thick and heavy, such that bullets couldn't penetrate.
”They are well prepared for this.”
”We must fall back!”
”Ugh… fall back!”
