373 Dragons have joined 2 (1/2)

A large part of the huge wall was torn down as a 20-story tall insect monster threw its sharp claws at the stone wall, damaging it heavily with each attack. Powerful cannons fired at the insect but it did not seem to work.

'Dammit! It adjusted already?'

The field marshal of the giant city of Hattinum, Jack Hanielson, frowned. This was a very perilous moment for the defense of the city. All their forces had been activated to defend, but it was getting harder by the minute.

”Sir.”

A middle-aged officer came up to him and Jack asked, ”Preparations?”

”It is done, sir.”

Jack nodded and walked over to the prepared machine. Soldiers were immediately ordered off the wall as three giant insect monsters began climbing up. That was when a loud boom filled the area, then dust clouds spread out.

”Th… the wall…”

”So it came to be…”

The soldiers wore grim expressions. The wall they had been defending was now no more, along with the three large insect monsters. Only half of their carcasses remained.

”Retreat! We will move back and regroup to strike back!”

The soldiers began to quickly retreat. By now, the defensive line on the outskirts of the city must have been prepared. There was not much they could do anymore but to fight the oncoming onslaught of Vaselan warriors.
