332 Chapter 93

The coalition army's thunderous cries were almost as loud as the rocks smashing into the stone walls. Maxi covered her ears against the din and looked down. Foot soldiers with shields charged up the hill like a herd of bison, surrounding the city. Two battering rams, ten scaling ladders, and three siege towers followed close behind.

The monsters reloaded their crossbows and began to fire down on them.

"Hurry!" Maxi cried out to the men readying the catapults.

They swiftly loaded the buckets and released the hooks holding the arms. Maxi crouched and watched the rocks soar through the air. The monsters ceased firing and scattered as the projectiles smashed into the stone walls.

The soldiers sprung out from under their shields, rapidly extending the ladders. But before they could scale the ramparts, flaming arrows began to rain down on them from the watchtowers. The mages in the offensive support unit hurried to cast a shield, but they were a second too late.
