Chapter 400 War For Astor Kingdom II
Chapter 400 War For Astor Kingdom II
With the destruction of the first golem, it did not take long for the second one to meet its end as well.
Yet, even with two of the biggest threat kmto the walls destroyed, no one among the higher-ups feel at ease.
"Surely there are more than this." General Lanki exclaimed, watching as the monster hordes continue their march despite the destru of their two siege engines.
"There should be more to it. I doubt a force lead by a demon would foolishly throw rheir life, at least without a good reason." General Pharrell agreed with his comrade.
As the two spoke to one another, the King watched the hordes with the Bishop at his left while the Branch Master of Adventure Guild of Astor Kingdom at his right.
"There are more to it." the Branch Master said, feeling the same way as the Generals.
"Yes. I feel it as well." having joined the Adventure Guild during his younger years, he still have his instinct during his adventuring day.
While he did not have the same danger instinct as the two, the Bishop knew to trust them both.
As they keep their eyes on the hordes, the Eastern part of the wall began to shake.
"Waahhhh!"
"Whaaats happening!?"
"Aaaaahh!"
Screaming of the soldiers filled the air as the soldiers tried to head to somewhere that is not shaking, knowing the shaking occur not because of any good news.
Their actions turn to be the correct one as when most of the soldiers flee from the shaking walls, it collapse, levelling and turning into pile of rubbles.
Unfortunately for them, most did not mean all as there are some victims to the wall's sudden destruction while several near the lower part of the wall meet the same fate as those that did not escape at time.

"Send two special companies and 5 companies to assist them! Mages, keep a small portions on the breached walls and prepare to bombard it with spells!" taking charge, the King ordered several measures to ensure the breached walls did not turn from a simple wound to a festering wound.
His order was immediately followed with two elite companies heading straight to the breach, hopefully able to plug it from being filled with monsters.
As his soldiers did their best to prepare for the worst, King Eskal turned towards his General.
"Do anyone know or have any idea how the walls collape?"
He did not expect any answer, to be honest, so he was pleasantly surprised by General Pharrell chiming in.
"I believe they have someone dug underneath the walls and mined it, causing it to be destroyed." the general suggestion made sense, though it is hard to solve the problem it cause if the hordes decided to collapse more walls, which is not out of hand.
"Keep an eye out and tell the soldiers to run away immediately if the walls were destroyed." the King hope none will suffer the same fate as the eastern walls but he knew better than to hope for much.
After giving the brief talk with his Generals, the King turned towards the incoming horde, knowing a hard battle would soon commence.

The hordes of monsters arrive in front of the cities half an hour after the destruction of the walls.
From the reports of other fortresses and cities, they faced similar assault with varying number of monsters, with the city the King and Holy Church reinforcement being the one attacked by the largest congregation of monsters.
When the monsters arrive at the broken walls, the strongest monsters, with the weakest being B-ranks in the form of Goblin Elites and Orc Warriors leading the charge.
Thankfully, defenses had been set up with 2 strong special companies protecting the broken section, allowing Astor Kingdime forced to hold against the powerful monsters coming after them.
Still, it was a hard battle, as the monsters are no slouch, even almost pushing past th defenses before reinforcement helped push the monsters back, with some cost, none too costly for the Kingdom thankfully.
