69 Fungal Fever (1/2)
Gin POV-
Reaching the next city I was left flabbergasted. Staying a little over 4 kilometers away I have Xelu's spiderlings scout the place out. This place has much stronger defenses than the previous city. It seems that many larger species live here too. I can see the mythological minotaurs along with giant red muscle dudes..... How to go about this..... The walls are much larger and they have tons of anti-siege weapons including ballista that would tear through most the spiderlings.... Luckily, plenty of Nemesis' spiderlings remain. They did the most damage on the previous city due to there being no countermeasures for something like spores.
Fire spells will do a small amount of damage but due to it's draconic nature, they are pretty resistant to most elemental damage. I guess it will be the same as last time? Have Kess' spiderlings dig in and drop many fungal spiderlings.....
Feels a bit cheap but, it seems to be a really effective strategy. It's not as if my objective is to kill anyways. It's just to cause choas..... Lets retreat back after this operation. Need to see how things are with Wetho and Ravel's side....
------
Everything is in place. Just need to initiate the attack. I don't think I will use spiderlings other than the fungal ones in this attack. I don't want to lose too many.... Vulki's may be fine to use but, I'm not sure if things like arrows that are imbued with magic will damage them. Anyways, lets start the attack.

Varres POV-
I got reports about strange movements of animals close to Strongblood City. Me and Tot decided it would be best to check it out. It could be the signs of another attack. We don't want a repeat of that scene with undead fungal creatures..... I made sure to send a messenger along to the Head about the current situation. Hopefully I get a reply soon....
The previously attacked city was left in the hands of a friend who is an expert on rebuilding. The Union has been attacked countless times so rebuilding after destruction has become a sort of skill among many of our people. The loss of life can't be ignored though. Children and elderly were included..... You don't go after those types of people. It should just be soldier vs soldier and leader vs leader. Whoever did this attack disregarded this unofficial rule. Of course I'm not suprised as the Drow Theocracy and the Black Iron Pyre do that quite frequently.

Me and Tot arrived at Strongblood City to see everything alright. It seems that whatever force is moving hasn't attacked yet. We meet with the heads of the city and warn them about the potential danger. To which they replied with.
”Huh? Danger? Spiders? We will just destroy anyone or anything that comes our way. That city was full of weaklings so it's no wonder that a whole bunch of them died.” City Head 1
