"Clang!"
A loud noise erupted as the shoddy ladder, unable to withstand the impact of a massive stone, snapped in the middle.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Screams of agony followed one after another.
Soldiers fell from the broken ladder, landing on the troops below, sending a string of the unfortunate straight to their doom.
The most pitiful were those who didn't die instantly, suffering in pain, having to endure the downpour of the gold juice.
The gruesome siege did not shake the determination of the Rebel Army to conquer the city.
"Withdraw our men first, send in the Warrior Camp.
Tell them, if they can't take Aldis Castle City, their families will be sacrificed!"
The Lord of Darkness said coldly.
He lacked experience in commanding troops, but manipulating people's hearts was his expertise.
For the sake of war, it was enough to conscript the able-bodied men. The elderly, women, and children were but burdens that only increased logistical difficulties and slowed the march.
