Chapter 664: Ambush (1/2)

Sam helped with the defense of the town whole night. By next morning, he couldn't help but feel exhausted and want to sleep.

When Philip saw his exhausted state, he just let him go to sleep as he took over the repair of the wall.

He woke up after three hours of sleep.

When he came out, Watt came to him and asked.

”How about we just attack directly? Tomorrow, Yanwu and the rest will have their cultivation unsealed. I have Falck too. We can just attack one side with overwhelming advantage and get this over with. We would be sitting ducks like this.”

”My main concern is not the Minotaurs. If it was only Minotaurs I would have done the same, we wouldn't even need to wait for Yanwu and the rest to unseal.

I don't want an overwhelming victory at this moment. I need the war to go step-by-step. That is why, I am waiting for an opening. Not a victory with force.”

”Why?”

”By this point I am extremely clear that this war is not related to this town having good crops and not for agricultural yield.

The three people I mentioned before, the ones that are activating the Catapults, they are most likely from realm of undead and even the people operating the catapults are some sort of undead creatures. They don't any vitality.

This whole war is being directed by undead realm residents and they want something from this town.

We don't know too many details. I am waiting for the shadow mice to unseal, then we might learn something.

But one thing I am sure is that if we overwhelm the victory out of this and we, the people will get noticed by the upper echelons of the people behind this war and we would be bringing more harm than good to this town.

If not for the fact, that the commander and the town head are ignoring us, I wouldn't have been this forceful and let us get noticed even this much.

Before we take any drastic action, we have to clearly know what goals the opponents have.

Anyway, we couldn't be too confident about this. Once the other two sides learn that we attacked one side with overwhelming strength, they would definitely take advantage.

There are just too many dangerous factors.

First, let them manufacture enough crossbows. They would be helpful and then we would take action. We can directly go and take down one side while the other two sides defend themselves. No matter what, I would like to end this within the next week.

Even if the new troops join them, I wouldn't let these troops stay here.”

But the next moment, a soldier came running to Sam and reported something, which made him feel stunned.

He and Watt took off on their hover boards and went to take a look beyond the walls.

Like the past night, the troops really retreated back, but now there is a large scale movement outside the wall and when they saw what is happening, they are dumbfounded.

There are so many beasts running towards the wall.

The beasts are running straight without any attacks and smashed into the wall.

The soldiers on the Crossbows are shooting desperately. But no beast is dodging. They are all welcoming the spears to shoot and impale them.

They seemed to be in an extreme mood.

One of the beasts was even impaled into the ground by the spear, but it struggled so much that a chunk of flesh was torn apart from the body and still ran forward.

Sam used his eye technique to see what is wrong with them. No matter what, no beast would behave like that in a normal situation. But when he saw the energy waves that are coming, he was dumbfounded. Because, he is extremely familiar with those energy waves, they belong to undead.

But these beasts are not regular undead. They do have death energy and their elemental powers disappeared. But they still have their sentience which is only possible for some high-grade undead. Normal necromancer can't even imagine doing that.

He now knew what is happening, the person or people controlling these things only gave them one task. To smash the wall.

Sam looked at them and sighed. He really didn't want to use the grenades this time as they are too eye-catching. Even the cross-bows that are extremely large are still within the scope where dwarves can make them. But grenades are out of reach to any race within this continent.

But the current situation is leaving him with not much choice.
