The first two humans who tried to get to the gate control mechanism died very quickly. The next ten—somewhat slower. After this, the rest tried to regroup and even brought torches to attack the bee soldiers in the doors.
They were easily flanked by a detachment of soldiers who flew out of the room through the embrasure window and were killed.
Meanwhile, below, Gresch led his armies over the moat and reached the iron grate gate. His Agent Bee reported to me about his successes while we fought.
Things were going great!
The detachments of the bee army that attacked the cannons fought off both the humans and found shelter from dragons in an unconventional place—inside the cannons themselves after their cannoneers were killed.
I made a note to praise Bloodimina, who came up with this idea, for her ingeniousness after this battle.
