Chapter 437: Attacking The Wall I

Chapter 437: Attacking The Wall I

"Halt,"

Ordered Stone as we reached the mile away from the wall.

I could see everything clearly. Thanks to the spell Shaun had cast on me. Even without it, one could see what was in front of us.

The cracked walls, burned vegetation and people standing on the wall.

Everything is clear.

If they wanted to, they would have stopped us from seeing everything so clearly, but they didn't.

They seemed confident in their ability to ward us off.

"Forces of Vris'alud, surrender and I pro"

Boom Boom Boom

They didn't even let me finish before launching the volley cannonball toward us

I didn't move and instead turned to the woman, who had given the order of attack.

The woman is clad in black armor, with a sigil skeletal blade covered in a shroud.

The woman is Rynra Throne from the knight order of Sable Shroud.

The most powerful of the knight order in Vris'alud.

She looked to be a woman from early to mid-thirties, with bronze skin. She had dark raven hair on her shoulders and pale blue eyes.

Her ears are faintly pointed because of her elven heritage. She is said to be a one-sixth elf.

Feeling my gaze, she smiled, and the smile was full of confidence. I couldn't even see, the slightest worry on her face.

The women had been in charge of Almin, but now she had been sent here.

We have information about her, and I didn't like what it said. The woman is an experienced commander and a powerful fighter.

She had fought an elder-blood before and killed her.

If the information on her strength is to be believed. Then there is no one besides Stone who could fight with her.

"Well, there goes our chance to make, the undead leave the city peacefully," I replied, making my army smile.

Bang Bang Bang

The cannonballs reached us and shields appeared below them. Stopping them from reaching us, but another volley shot out, right after.

These aren't the cannons undead brought; they are from the city.

The forty-seven cannons kept shooting the volleys of cannonballs while we defended.

Nearly a minute passed when the army parted in several places and our cannons came out.

Of course, we brought cannons and not only cannons but some other stuff too that our enemies would experience soon enough.

"Cannons ready, fire!"

Stone commanded, and immediately, a hundred and seven cannons roared in unison, sending a large volley toward the enemies.

The volley is spread out.

If the enemy wants to defend, then they would need to use a lot of spells to defend against them.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

If they didn't. Then these cannonballs would fall on their walls. These are no common cannonballs, we are using, special types that help break the walls.

Over 50% of the supply of the cannonballs comes from the Prince's catch, just like the cannons.

Prince Grelt had brought a lot of things from the merchants for his efforts to gain the throne. Unfortunately, he was vaporized by his brother, before he could use them.

Within seconds, the lines of soldiers formed. With soldiers in the front holding the shields, while those behind holding the weapons.

"Charge!" he ordered, and the force of twenty thousand moved forward.

Our purpose is to capture the city, and it wouldn't be possible to just fire the cannons.

We actually would need to attack, and we are doing that now.

I didn't march with twenty-thousand. I followed behind with the twelve thousand. We won't fight till ordered but remain close to support Stone.

He is leading it; there is no one better than him. He had experience of these kinds of things.

Most importantly, he will need to be there to deal with that knight. Without him, stopping her, she would slaughter my officers.

As they marched, siege towers began to rise up. For over eight months, they were soaking dust in the warehouse.

Now, we are using them.

I watched with my heart beating. It will be a bloody battle and I wish, I could be there, but I cannot.

I will be a distraction.

Soon, there were less than three hundred meters remaining between them when the enemy acted.

They started attacking with spells and aimed the cannons at them. In response, shields moved forward, and defensive spells appeared in front of them.

The most guarded are the siege towers and ladders. They need to be protected.

While there are spells, that could create ladders and skill, that could make one jump into the wall. They are still useful and stronger than most spells.

Most importantly, the physical thing brings more confidence than the thing made of magic.

Seeing the enemy had started using spells, we also intensified our support. Sending the volleys at greater intensity toward the enemy.

I looked toward the wall and saw it filled with the undead. Their numbers seemed to have increased. I couldn't tell properly.

They have started using skills and spells to ward off investigative skills.

It is all blurry when we try to look at them. We are doing the same Shaun and others activated skills, that make the enemy hard to see us.

Skills are really terrifying things.

There are skills in the world that make the armies blind. Some make them fight each other.

Though for such massive effects, the commander needs to be really powerful, and the world has such people.

Compared to them, we are nothing.

Vris'alud is one of the forces, which had such people. If they sent even a single one of them; they would destroy us.

There are some of those people in the region itself. In Ashton Harbor and Dustorn Fortress.

The man in the fortress is really powerful. Even the two in the harbor won't be his match.

He had been completely silent since the death of the emperor. He didn't make any move other than dealing with small attacks from Tabes.

There is also a thing about him sending some reinforcement to Deerpond and Riverbell, but not to me.

I didn't dare to make any noise about it, but it displeased me greatly. A little bit of reinforcement would have helped my city tremendously.

He is a factor that worried me as much as the undead, even more so sometimes.

I tried to find out what his plans were. There are plans. I do not for a moment believe, that he doesn't have plans.

I only hope, that whatever his plans are, doesn't intersect with mine. He is not someone, I could deal with in a few months to years.

I sighed and focused on the army. It had reached the wall.
