56 Chapter 56

Clearing the walls was easier said than done as the ogre's shamans and mages were now bombarding the city walls and many did die because of it.

Then at the same time, there were more and more goblins and ogres climbing up to the walls and this time they weren't the cannon fodder units. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Now even the elite units were climbing to the top of the walls and taking control of the units there and organizing their siege.

"Here the second siege tower comes up boys! Let's give them a proper welcome." Levin said and he and his squad prepared themselves for the close combat battle.

What they didn't expect was when the siege tower opened that there was just one small goblin smiling with a burning stick on its hand. The goblin had this very dumb smirking face on it and Levin and the rest of men were just as confused as there was just a one goblin inside the siege tower and not the army they were waiting for.

"Watch out it's…" Levin tried to shout but too late as the goblin dropped the burning piece of wood to the black powder covered siege tower blowing it up and in the same time part of the wall that was crumbling now down.

"What the hell was that explosion!" Albert shouted out and when he looked at the left side of the wall he just saw the wall crumbling down there and that there was a massive hole on the wall now.

^In the same time in the ogre's camp^

One of the ogres blew into the horn getting the attention of all the ogres that were still outside of the city.

"Me Dondrak promised to take these lands back.They were robbed from our ancestors by those filthy humans. So today we have a chance as I bought the black powder from the gnomes and it didn't disappoint us.

So what we are waiting for let's go and slaughter those humans!" Dondrak said and again the horn was blown as a sign of the attack.

^At the walls^

"Where the hell did those savages get the black powder that is so rare here and rarely even found!" Albert cursed out and watched how the beast army with the monsters and ogre's were now running towards the hole in the wall.

Albert still couldn't believe that the black powder was the dwarf's secret thing and only they knew how to make it was now used against his walls.

Then he remembered and cursed at his minds."Those bastards! Why the hell I didn't think of the gnomes! I completely forgot them!" Albert shouted out loudly.

Like dwarves, gnomes were also mountain dwellers that rarely got out from the mountains like the dwarves.

Some of them were excellent mages but there were a lot of engineers among them also and they were almost as good as dwarves maybe even equal with crafting new things.

But the dwarves and gnomes hated each other to the core and we're always at war with each other but the gnomes didn't know yet how to make the black powder but they could have easily stolen or from the dwarfs and they didn't mind who the buyer was as long as they had enough money or resources to pay it.

So you could easily buy anything from them as long as you could pay.

"Retreat! I repeat retreat to the inner walls for now as we lost the b sides' outer wall!" Albert said and blew the retreat signal.

Those who were still near the catapults and ballistas suddenly set them in flames that the enemy couldn't use them against them.

Otherwise, they slowly started to retreat those that were on the city had it easier than those who were on the walls that had to cover up the retreating soldiers.

"Me and my men will cover up you and your soldiers retreat as we still need you, Albert." The head paladin said and Albert just nodded.

As he was the one who was responsible for this city, so even when he had made a miscalculation this time he still was responsible for all the soldier's lives that were still alive and to top of it for all the citizen's lives that were inside the city.

"Thank you I won't forget this. I will own one to you." Albert said and started to retreat with a flock of soldiers surrounding him.

"Paladins and everyone else come here and let's slowly retreat and defend this way. Anyone else who wants to go as solo good luck to him!" The head paladin shouted and did set up a defensive wall with the paladins around one of the stairs and they were slowly retreating towards it while covering up the ordinary soldiers retreat at the same time.

"Let's slaughter all those pesky humans. Don't let them retreat!" One of the ogre elites rallied up all the ogre's top on the walls and they were getting even more aggressive with their attacks.

As they knew that they won already as the humans were retreating so they didn't have anything to lose for now.
