Chapter 13: The Siege Begins
It didn't take long for the main leaders of Kasara City to basically reach the northern city wall, and the quiet skeletons without a sound gave people a feeling of oppression.
"Do you want me to take someone to destroy these skeletons?" said a rough voice as the crowd fell silent, a topless crocodile man with dense scars and two large axes on his back.
"Bloodaxe Patriarch doesn't need to be so anxious, this war won't end so soon. And the Prophet said before that you should not act rashly. Aman, the snake lizard clan's animal trainer, spat out the core and said.
"This group of bone racks has not yet arrived, and I don't know how many bone racks will have to be dismantled this time to win. He had seen with his own eyes how the skeletons gathered like a tide, and the number was slowly increasing, and when the first skeleton appeared on the other heads, nearly 10,000 skeletons had gathered.
"Hmph! There are a little more of these skeletons, and I can kill several with a single axe. Bloodaxe said disdainfully.
Aman looked at the two of them and said, "Let me try, you better save your strength and wait for the next big battle!"
Aman took out a bone whistle with a yellow spot and put it in his mouth, and then blew hard, "Boom!"
"Roar!" Then there was a strange roar in the city, and a half-human-sized dragonfly flew up from the city, the dragonfly was golden all over, with a long mouthpiece and two dark green compound eyes that shimmered. (Dragonflies are also fourth-order creatures, but their flight speed can even be compared to that of sixth-order dragons, and dragonflies' attacks are highly poisonous, but they are completely useless against bone racks, so dragonflies can only be used as scouts in this war.) )
Dragonflies flutter over Oman's head, bringing with them the sound of "whew, whew".
Aman stretched out his hand and pointed at the skeleton in the distance, and then the dragon fly spun twice in the sky, like an arrow flew out, Aman took out a little powder from his waist and threw it into the air, and then whispered two words, and then the powder flashed in the air to show the perspective of the dragon fly.
After a while, the dragon fly flew above the skeletons' heads, and the skeletons completely ignored the dragon flies above their heads, even if a few silver skeletons wanted to look at the dragon flies.
What everyone at the head of the city saw was a group of skeletons that were completely silent, if it weren't for the soul fire jumping in their skulls, many people would really think that these skeletons had really become a skeleton, and the dragon fly hovered over the heads of this group of skeletons for a while, so that everyone could roughly understand the number of skeletons, and then continued to fly forward.
The path of the dragon flies was a vast sea of bones, and a steady stream of skeletons seemed to be about to crash on the city of Kasala.
Suddenly, the dragon fly found something completely different from the white bone shelf, which was a dozen or so trebuchets moving in the mire, because in this kind of mire the wheels could easily sink in, so these trebuchets were carried by skeletons, basically every few steps, a few skeletons half of their bodies fell into the mud, and then a few more skeletons made up for it and continued to move forward, and the cycle continued, and the skeletons that fell into the mud slowly pulled out their bodies and continued to move forward.
"Aman, let your dragonflies fly closer and see what those trebuchets are up to. A sinister voice rang out, and the person who spoke was a human, but he was dressed in a similar way to the swamp people next to him.
"Tsk, our human brother, the great beasttamer Tulaman, has something to say, Oman, hurry up and get your dragonflies to fly in. Kasa looked surprised when he heard Tulaman's words.
"Yes, I see. Aman ignored Kasa's words, nodded to Tulaman, and then lowered his head and blew the bone whistle slightly.
The dragonfly flutters its wings and flies above the catapult, trying to get closer to the catapult.
"Brush!" Two fierce claws suddenly came out of the catapult that the dragon fly approached, and the half-fleshed claws slashed across the dragon fly's wings and body.
"Shhh
The fierce spirit's body floated, and then he reached out and grabbed the dragonfly, "Whew!" The dragonfly's wings were completely torn apart, and the dragonfly fell with a scream.
Skeletons swarmed around the catapult and tore the dragonflies to shreds.
The image of the head of Kasara shatters with the death of the dragonfly.
"No!!" Aman yelled.
"I'm sorry, Oman. Tulaman said to Aman.
"No, it's not your fault, these damned corpses!" Aman shook his head, "I'll go down first, and I'll let me know if anything." So saying, Aman descended the ladder down the wall.
There was silence on the city wall for a while, "It's boring!" Casa shook the wolf's head.
"Be ready to meet the enemy here, and I will go and ask the Prophet. Kuru the lizardman said to the lizard-shooters around him, and then walked briskly down the wall.
The other swamp leaders looked at each other, and then several men followed Kuru down the wall, leaving only Uva the Lizardman, Casa the Werewolf, and Bloodaxe.
The three of them sat on the edge of the wall without speaking, looking at the skeleton in the distance in a daze.
As time passed, two hours later, the number of skeletons in the north of Kasara City had reached a million, and the sea of bones with no end in sight at a glance made people's hearts a little hairy, not to mention those who watched the skeletons go from few to many.
Many of the lizard shooters in the city not only clenched their longbows in their hands, as if that would give them a sense of security, but even a few lizard shooters began to tremble.
Suddenly, the originally silent sea of skeletons began to fluctuate, and the skeletons on both sides went around the east and west walls of Kassala City, while the skeletons in the middle rushed towards the north wall of Kassala City with the largest steps, and some of the skeletons on the back of the three skeletons carried a ladder made of white bones and a battering ram attached to the magic array. "Damn! Trumpet!" shouted Kuru.
The skeletons attacked suddenly with a little prelude, so the defenders of the city were caught off guard.
"Woo woo ......" The sound of the horn at the head of Kasara symbolizes the official start of the siege.
