Chapter 43: Siege of Kurnu

Nas gathered fifteen thousand strong soldiers, and he took Archers too but hid them in the shield wall, so he could let them fire at the Weggros on the Wall when they reached the breach, they slowly began to close the distance between the Wall and as they drew closer the Archers on the Wall fired on them, although many shoots were blocked but some lucky arrow found its way through the gap and killed some of the Soldiers, 'Fill the Gaps, boys!.' as they continuously moved forward.

They finally reached the Wall, Weggros were there to defend the breach with a shield wall, Nas's soldiers opened the shield wall and charged the the breach, The Weggros on the Wall began to shoot at their Soldiers, The Archers that Nas kept hidden under the Sheld wall finally came out and began to shoot at the Weggros, after each volley the soldiers would shield them and protect them from incoming fire, this way they silenced the Weggros on the Wall and the Soldiers pushed forward and finally met the Weggros and a Fight began.

The Wall beside Nas was broken down and it was about to be attacked, the overwhelming number of Soldiers was too much for the Weggros to handle and they were being pushed back, they had reached the Market, It was crowded in there, because of the stalls the formation were being tempered and Weggros were tripping over because of the small or materials laying on the ground, making it easy for their Soldiers to kill them, this way many Weggros died without putting up a fight, but the bodies of the dead Weggro were making it difficult to move forward because Soldiers were tripping because of the bodies, as they stepped on the body and the bloodied bodies were slip making it no children job to cross but as Weggros were pulling back, they could get up again but it was frustrating, in few minutes they had taken the Market back, the Weggros were falling back and were desperately making a run for the South Gate but Nas diverted his Soldiers to the South Gate causing the Weggros to choose nothing but to run through the farms and put a last stand, Nas send his Soldiers to the Breach 3 to help his friend Gastat.

Weggros who were fighting Gastat's force saw Nas and his Soldiers coming at them with full hastily charging at them, helplessly made them choose 2 options, 1) Retreat back and 2) Stand and Fight, they chose the first option, they ran back screaming but some were caught in the charge and were killed off, but many luckily escape.

Gastat saw them retreating and sighed in relief, and ordered, 'Charge, now is the chance to give you hundred per cent.' The Soldiers charged, and Gastat's and Nas's soldiers combined to help clear the other breaches and the Gate. and in a matter of minutes, the Village was almost in their hands and the Weggros were at the East Gate to give up the Village, they opened the gate and to their demise, they saw Therold and Draien standing and behind them was their two thousand strong force and they charged at them and finally they took the village. 

They Gathered at the Camp with Lord Gerald and he asked, 'What the result?.' a man came and said, 'Lord, out of 200,000 men, 5,000 are dead 3,000 are normal wounds and 2,000 are serious wounds.' Gerald was quite impressed about the result and he said, 'Thanks to Nas, he made it so easy.' but Gastat said, 'My lord, I have something to say if you give me permission?.' Gerald listened to it closely and gently replied, 'Go on Gastat.' Gastat was given permission so he began, 'My lord, when Nas came closer to my Soldiers, some of them were too good like they were not that before but as he arrived the Soldiers got some extra power or something and they charged like hell.' it was new, they never thought about it, 'I'll consult Kerunlé about this.' said Gerald
