Sam lured the two Pre-transcendent stage Minotaurs on their Minotaur stage Beast mounts away.
He has an edge on speed over them and they could only catch up to him when he allowed him to. Sam took out the Executioner too and focused on the fight with Light Blades flying over.
Just like before, he didn’t focus on the riders, he focused on the beasts. Since he already knew this weakness, it would be a pity to not use this against them.
Sam sliced through the beasts and before the riders could realize, they understood that they are already done for.
So, the first reaction they had is to not clash, rather land safely. But the beasts are already pissed and they wouldn’t let Sam go. They didn’t care what their temporary companions said and focused on Sam as they chased like crazy.
Sam used the sa thods as he did before and made the beast crash directly into a Catapult. But this ti, the situation is a bit different as the Catapult is working and was just about to throw a boulder. But the beast directly crashed against the coming force obstructing the swing in the middle.
Not only did the boulder directly fell off in the middle of the troops after grazing against the beasts, the Catapult’s arm also snapped into two and crashed down.
The Minotaur wasn’t spared as well. Initially, he fell on the ground nearby, but the vulture caught the grey fla it raged against the Catapult and everything nearby which included the minotaur. It tore into his chest and ripped a huge chunk of flesh off.
The only disappointing thing about that is that he didn’t catch the grey fla.
Sam did the sa to the second beast, but he missed the Catapult. This ti he targeted a large one and the Catapult’s shooting power is so high that it crashed into the beast and sent it flying along with the boulder to the front line of the Minotaur troops.
Even though this is not the result he wanted or expected, the results are still satisfactory because there tens of troops in the front that caught the grey fla, and now the two undead creatures are flying through the battlefield and attacking as Sam didn’t completely cut its wing off.
The first beast’s wing was completely cut off, so not so much damage was done, but the second and third are a different story. He clearly saw what they can do as they rampaged amongst their ranks.
Sam just looked at the scene and then turned their gaze to that pale man who is activating the catapults,
He smirked and left the place like he has nothing to do with any of the chaos happening.
He landed on the wall and said.
"If you guys can’t even take advantage of this situation and do enough damage, you might as well let them take the town."
Sam left those words and moved to the next attacking point. Commander looked at Sam with a complicated gaze. He really wants to trust Sam, but sohow he couldn’t bring himself to as the orders of the superior are not letting him do so. But Sam is the reason they are able to tilt the balance.
They don’t know what happened to the reinforcents that are supposed to arrive a few days ago, but they have to assu the worst and take care of the current situation.
Currently, Sam doesn’t know that there are even supposed reinforcents that have to arrive in this place but nowhere to be seen.
When he looked at the second wall, he noticed that the damage is here is severe than the first. The first wall definitely has more catapults. But this place has more active catapults and the boulders are shooting in.
Here even so guards and even a crossbow were destroyed.
Jack is the one taking care of the situation here alone. He is trying to fend off the boulders. Then only they realized they made a big mistake. If only they knew that soone is activating the catapults, they would have thought about who activates faster too, they just assud that the first wall has more trouble due to numbers, but here the situation is clearly worse.
He let Jack go to the battlefield and he stayed within to deal with the boulders on this side.
Jack has limited ranged attacks. There is not much he can do with the situation being like this. But he still tried his best to destroy the boulders.
"Just target the three Pre-transcendents who are on the beasts. Attack the beasts enough to piss them off, they are not completely in sync, and try to make them crash on the catapults. Don’t go near the destroyed Catapults.
And there would be a young human-looking creature near the Catapults moving from one catapult to another. You should be careful with them. If possible don’t try to attack them yet. All the forces would concentrate on you will you attack them.
Be careful."
With that, Sam let Jack go out and took out his flute.
He stood on the Harbinger a little bit inside the wall and started playing.
Soon, there are so clouds forming parallel to the wall’s length and they started giving out the silver lightning strikes.
Every boulder that flew past the wall was being struck repeatedly by the lightning.
Blasted into smithereens. Even though the fragnts have so grey fla, they are only falling within the range of clouds, which is not far from the wall and no residents are being hard.
Even though it worked great, there is no way he could maintain it for a long ti in his current state. He just battles three Pre-transcendent stage cultivators along with three beasts of the sa level.
Now he is trying to stop the assault all by himself.
At least, they are only boulders and not so high-grade rocks with special properties. They have nothing special to them except for the grey flas which will disappear eventually once there is nothing alive that it could burn.
While Sam is controlling, the third side was completely within control. This side didn’t even need any of Sam’s friends to take care of the situation and crash the boulders. So, Sam relaxed a bit.
He noticed that the production speed on the Crossbows increased. When Jack returned after two hours after dealing with three of them, he is a bit exhausted. Sam gave so wine to him and left the place to take a look at the production house.
The whole situation started at night, now it is dawn and the sun is rising.
The dwarves are working around through the night and many teams of them are working on crossbows almost creating an assembly line. Each team decided to take one main component and they just kept on producing it.
The humans are responsible for assembly and each part has no error at all. Sam must say that he was impressed.
There are around ten teams and they created twelve crossbows throughout the night.
They are working great.
Sam went to check the production of armors. Unlike the crossbows, he didn’t send the armors away imdiately. He waited for so peace. He knew that once the assault went on like this and dwarves gained an advantage, the enemies had to retreat for so ti. He would use this chance to let the troops wear armor and et the others on the battlefield.
They once again have to do the sa thing as they did the first ti. They have to send the minotaurs back far enough so that they can et them in the field. But this ti, it is a little hard.
There are just too many and it would be stupid to et them in the field directly until they reduced the numbers by at least two-thirds.
But it seems like it would take a long ti.
As he was thinking, he finally noticed that the assault has stopped and the Minotaurs retreated a little bit. The catapults are not being used. Sam felt like sothing is wrong.
He went to the wall and check the situation, he mainly focused on the non-human who is unsealing these weird stones.
He finally spotted him, but he is not unsealing the stones. He just sat cross-legged and seed to be cultivating normally.
They even moved the catapults back to the range where Crossbows couldn’t reach.
Sam went back to the house and gave instructions to distribute the armors. His friends ca and went to rest. Even Arman and Chatur are exhausted. They are dealing with the undead that is created within the city.
Sam went into the divine dinsion to see what this is stone is all about.
The stone is in a corner of the second floor of the tower.
It is still emitting grey smoke.
Sam wanted to see what exactly these properties are, so he just threw so grass over it first, to see if it would catch the grey fla and it did.
The grass withered slowly.
He then placed a rock over it.
The rock also caught the grey fla and started corroding. But the speed is definitely slower than the first one.
He then placed a herb, tal pieces of different grades.
The only thing he didn’t do is a living thing. Because he could guess what would happen. Sam brought a Minotaur corpse out and threw it on it.
The corpse did catch the grey fla, but it didn’t turn into undead, rather it slowly rotted away and even the bones withered.
The fla seed to be a bit sentient and it is working weirdly. Clearly, any living is becoming undead and it stopped burning after that, but a dead body is just rotting away. He really couldn’t understand.
