-Chapter 24, DGM-
It was in the wee hours of the , 3:35 am The weather of the early auturee White puffs of air could be faintly seen if one exhaled deeply
-Northern ramparts of Glaston city-
Annie watched the swar the northern city walls like a sea of htly faltered as she went slightly pallid
The enemies were too many From the looks of it, there were at least 15,000 dark elf soldiers assembled outside the city
She had entered the city barracks and had taken control of 1,500 city defenders She had then substituted the position of co the leaderless dark elf assassins within the city as well as recruiting able-bodied people within the city who could fight
She had tried her best, but tiht The paltry number of defenders on the city walls did not exceed 2,000, and a big portion of thereenhorns who had never seen blood before
Annie swept her gaze along the ra the defenders on it A sea of expressions peered back at her, aEvery defender on the wall knew that in this fight, 9 out of 10 would perish The hopes of survival were pretty dismal
Sing down the worry in her heart, Annie shouted a few encouraging words to boost the morale
”Lighten up! Let those red-eyed bastards taste our fists!
”Soldiers, we have an unshakeable wall, with ballistas and catapults! What's there to be scared of?”
Before her words had finished, a loud cry erupted from the masses of the dark elves below the rampart ”Kill!”
This cry was fro as thunder descending from the heavens The entire battlefield seemed to tremble under the warcry
Annie's heart leapt in fright As a duke's daughter and the head of an intelligence organisation, she had an abnoruished the level of power from the voice
”shi+t, it's a level 6!”
She was like a feeble newborn when compared to a level 6 warrior If the level 6 warrior wanted to personally lead the attack, nobody would be able to stop him
As if instigated, bellows and growls followed the warcry, erupting from the throats of the masses of dark elves
”Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The cacophony surged like a tsuna onto the ramparts The 2000 defenders were like tiny canoes in the ainst this tremendous wave, it was possible to capsize anytime
”fuck, how are we supposed to fight against these numbers?!”
”No, I'll die! I can't be here!”
”Let's retreat!”
These exclaathered Although the countenance of the regular soldiers were deathly pale, they had, after all, gone through training They did not exhibit any signs of desertion or mental collapse
A new recruit atteive an order, a ht up to hile blow
Annie withdrew her gaze She had not experienced the cruelty of the battlefield yet Although she was callous to the death of her enemies, she could not do the sae calmed her panic as she told herself it was a necessarydown the queasiness in her heart, she yelled, ”We are the last line of defense of Glaston city Deserters will be killed!”
This riveted the new recruits The situation on the wall rapidly stabilised
-Below the ramparts-
Relying on the night vision unique to dark elves and the keen eyesight of a level 6 warrior, Lund are of the situation on the raenerals beside hi a bunch of cowards They’re inviting us in with open arms”
The generals could also view the situation on the wall The cautious generals who had hesitated changed their decisions, respectively pleading, “Marshal, allow me to lead the first wave of attack on Glaston city”
They wanted to snatchGlaston city
The enemy eak, their nued, the sea of faces displaying eager looks
Lund senerals “You-you-you-and also you, lead the attack on Glaston city!”
Four generals accepted the order, leading several squadrons They also brought along thick, coarse ropes to scale the city walls, excitedly jogging towards the ramparts
Glaston city was do up to only 50 enerals had 3 level 3 warriors and 1 level 4 warrior As long as they successfully scaled the wall, nobody would be able to resist their advancement
Annie watched the dark elves aggressively begin to scale the wall There were a few dark elves wearing outfitted in ar with the radiance of warrior qi as they took the lead One dark elf’s warrior qi was particularly brighter A suffocating feeling choked her chest as an intense feeling of danger radiated from him
‘He’s stronger than et onto the walls!’
Annie’s heart panicked She loudly shouted, “Begin attacking!”
The archers on the city walls begin to rain arrows upon the dark elves below the rampart in torrents The massive ballistas creaked loudly as they were operated Spear loaded into it were th and had a width equivalent to an adult arm Several catapults were also simultaneously released Rocks the size of heads were lobbed towards the dark elves lined up in battle formations below
The resistance was fierce, and the dark elves had sustained so warriors within the army had not been affected by it at all
They hefted heavy shi+elds in their hands, constantly releasing warrior qi froh the firepower of the ballistas and the catapults was powerful, they were easily evaded or blocked
After the fierce resistance, the dark elves continued advancing, their speed not slowing down in the slightest The distance to the ramparts had already reached 50 meters
‘Hu~’ The thick coarse rope in the hands of the level 4 warrior hirled at a high velocity When he neared the walls, he released it like an arrow, shooting towards the ramparts
The rope latched onto the city wall A few defenders immediately rushed towards it and violently hacked at the thick rope
