Chapter 377 Plan Of Monsters
"Should we launch another attack, General?" Captain Nasyph asked General Soren.
The old general shook his head.
"They would be prepared for it after yesterday. We could lose our elite forces, and it would mean the end of the defender of the fortress and the fortress itself,"
Nasyph sighed, but accept the explanation. In the hindsight, his idea was rather short-sighted and depend on yesterday's success, which would be hard to repeat when the element of surprise had been used up.
"We focused on our defense for now. Our plea for reinforcement had been answered an another army had been sent to assist us," the General continued.
The others nodded, as they made their preparation. Defending the fortress would take nearly everything they have, and they would do their best to remain standing by the end of it.
Too bad for them the monsters already create a plan to destroy the fortress, once and for all.

Alros whistled, amazed by the plan of the monsters. He turned towards the four mastermind, as he could see great things they could achieve when they have access to stronger monsters.
He smirked, wondering how the human would react to the monsters' plan.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"The monsters are coming!" as per usual, the guards warned the others as bells ring, warning them of another monsters incursion.
"Get ready for ba-" General Soren find his words stuck to his throat, as he laid his eyes on the monsters' hordes.
Currently, he was struck with disbelief, wondering what the monsters are up to. Only when he blinked and rubbed his eyes did he realize he was not dreaming.
"What in the world?" he could hear Captain Nasyph beside him. He agreed with the Captain's word, wondering if he is hallucinating and when did the monsters put drug into his food.
However, he realized the monsters were going for it and give his order,
"Don't let the monsters get close to the gate!"

Alros watched with amusement as the soldiers on the wall scrambled, grabbing arrows and bows as they ran towards the top of the wall.
The reason for their action, a group of Hulking Orc wearing armor made out of wood, and the stone helmet it wore, shapped like a battering room.
There are 10 similar monsters, ready to sacrifice themselves to create the opening for the other monsters.
"Gragh!" as the Orcs are all at the Goblin side, Gobruk was the one would could give them order, despite some of the Orcs not liking it.
However, it was just part one of the plan.

"Fire! Don't let them crash into the gate!" the leaders ordered, as rain of arrows continue to sail towards the Hulking Orc, though their arrows could barely penetrate the thick armor they are wearing.
As more arrows were fired, screams was heard from the wall.
"What the-" the leader narrowed his eyes as he could see vials being thrown to the top of the wall.
From how the soldiers turned green,with some puking blood, no doubt the vial contained powerful poison.
Seeing this, the leader made another order, "Mage! Create a barrier and made sure the vial did not reach the soldiers!"
Soon, barriers were erected around the soldiers, stopping the potions or poison from causing more harm. Still, it was a stop gap measure, one that could not be sustained due mana being consumed overtime the longer the fight goes on.
"We have to find a way to kill the thrower," some of the Commanders and leaders began to search for the one that throw the vials. Soon, they found them. The bad news is the distance of the attackers.
With the strength of an Orc and the help of a sling, they could throw the vial from a large distance and it could still hit the wall.
As the mages began to stop forming the barrier due to the lack of mana, an arrow find itself on the throat of the mage, to the surprise of the soldiers next to the now deceased mage.
They looked to see a group of Lizardmen using a crossbow, firing at the mages as they searched for cover.

"They plan for this," General Soren exclaimed, as he made a statement instead of asking a question.
"Yeah, the plan is rather elaborate. First, made the soldiers go to the top of the wall. When they did so, unleash a barrage of attacks that could take multiple soldiers at once.
When the mages were called to defend, continue the attack until the mage stopped to not suffer from mana deficiency, reducing the number of soldiers and mages in one go while allowing them to create paths to the fortress,"
Captain Nasyph proceed to tell of the monster's plan, causing the others to look at the leader of Blade of Beast in shock.
"To think they could come up with such plan. And the worst part would be we could not do anything to stop them.
When the Hulking Orc reached the gates, they could break it, forcing soldiers to the walls to shot them down. When the soldiers get on top, they get killed by poison.
When the mages are send to protect them, they are forced to keep the barrier for too long and suffer the consequences while being attacked with arrows and bolts," the leader of Mage Corps said with a bitter tone.
"At this rate, the gates would be-" "Sir! The gate at the north side had been destroyed!"
"The gate at the south had been destroyed!"
"Gate at the east..."
"Gate at the west..."
When the messengers finished, the leaders in the room all looked at one another with a sad smile.
"So, this is it?" one of them said, as he gripped the blade in his hand tightly.
"Yes. The fortress will soon fall to the monsters. Send message to the reinforcing army. Tell them to retreat and prepare for an invasion soon," General Soren said with a resign tone.
Hearing this, all of them knew it is over. However, they will not give up with a fight.
"If we are going to die, we will die as hero!" Captain Nasyph exclaimed, shouting to which the leaders shouted with him.
Even General Soren could feel himself being pulled by the charisma of the younger man, who managed to ignite the Spirit of the defenders at the last moment.
