Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 145
Urim’s POV,
Without so much as a word, I and brother watched the raging fire on the fortress walls.
“West Wall” he suddenly said before giving me a glance, with a nod I urged my wolf forward. The warriors grunted in response as half the 150 broke away and followed after me.
‘News of Vargan had reached brother’s ears, It won’t be long before we brothers unite once again’, I paused in slight worry and looked at Torug’s focused eyes.
No one besides him knows what to expect inside, but I do not doubt him.
I just worry, “Brother!!”
Torug looks at me and I asked, “Are you afraid?”
He looked stunned for a second before laughing, “Not today, Urim, Not today”.
Hearing his words, I couldn’t stop myself from shaking my head, “hmm”.
At the same time, a goblin rushed over and whispered something into Torug’s ear.
“Let’s move!” We charged towards the west side and remained out of sight.
______________________________
Kharag Greyeye saw almost dozens of huge flags and banners flying in the distance but the fire in the night gave him poor visibility when he came to the Fortress walls. All the flags and banners had pictures of a wolf growling at a black moon drawn on them.
The roars of the warriors and wolves were echoing out and putting huge pressure on his people. It was estimated that there were 200 to 300+ enemies rioting in the treeline.
It looked like a very big group which was comparable to warriors of a large tribe.
“no wonder that Torug Blackmoon dared to come to cause trouble. he actually had an army that could threaten me!” Kharag’s expression was rather twisted as his breath became erratic, he slapped his temples with his palm.
Wooo~ Wooohooo~
The wolves from the Blackmoon tribe began to howl and their sounds echoed as if a tsunami. It was a pre-war psychological tactic, Torug chose to use against the enemies.
The inhabitants of the Greyeye fortress were scared when they heard that the enemies were attacking the fortress.
They were unsure of Torug’s character. wondering if he would spare them and not start a massacre when attacking a city.
After all, majority of them haven’t eaten since the night before.
“We won’t be able to run away…” a goblin wailed.
“What can you do? Blackmoon chieftain will kill us all!”
“What are you saying? We are warriors, aren’t we? We are people of the Greyeye clan! I have a hammer and I’ll fight until the last blood that drops out of my body. I will fight even if I’m dead even if I have to bite the enemy with my dying breath!”
“Yes, what’s the point of dying as a coward? We will use our fearlessness and machetes to kill these weaklings. Why should we wait for our death instead of attacking and killing them?”
Kharag’s inner circle, saw that the chief was about to slip into his berserk state and began to agitate the citizens of the fortress. Touba Hong was a talent from this perspective. He wasn’t planning to recklessly fight against Red Beard.
The population of the fortress presently was about 400 people. most of them were warriors, leaving about a hundred plus non fighters. So majority of the population could fight as the percentage of women and children was low. Everyone that could use a weapon was a potential soldier for Kharag.
The wolves wasn’t the only reason he was interested in the black moon clan, the population and how healthy the location was, made him drool.
His initial intentions wass to trick Torug into a duel and swallowing his properties in one move. but this happened and unfortunately, his forces was scattered across his territory.
“My Chief, the situation in the fortress isn’t that good!” Bilga suddenly ran over and reported.
“what are you still doing in the fortress?!!…ah!!! my reinforcement from Bloodhorn!!” Kharag’s expression was livid and his face began to squirm.
“we were intercepted inside the fortress!” Bilga defended.
Kharag’s body swelled as he roared, “So what?!!!!”
Unsurprisingly, some people became excited, thinking they were saved after seeing the Chief like that.
his existence meant that they would safe from the enemy leader.
“we’ll set up a trap for those rats, we don’t know the size of the enemy outside, but they know… shoot all but one!” taking a deep breath, he thought about what actions to take.
As he loudly talked towards the crowd from the wall. The inhabitants got more confident by his words. Almost everyone went up to get weapons to get ready for the battle.
“cursed thing… how did he calm down?” TuTu scratched her nose as she spied at Kharag who was on top of the gate’s wall.
she quickly relayed the information to Moz who was on the other end of the fortress, fighting kuhag and she simply gave the order, “Avoid the gate and wait for Urim, spread the fire!”.
Largash followed behind her like a tail.
Toot~
horns were blown as the Torug’s side began to attack. The goblins rushed towards the gate of the fortress and tossed the ‘Boom’ rocks at the Iron gates repeatedly.
BOOM!!!
BANH!!!
BAM!!!
Seeing this, Kharag couldn’t help cussing. This was the first time he was seeing such ‘means’.
“Kill them! toss down the rocks and killed them all!”
He shouted loudly, “Boil some water, Kill those things!!!”.
The inhabitants shouted out after Kharag greyeye’s roar.
“Kill! Kill them!”
More people began to appear on the fortress walls and used heavy rocks to stones at the goblins. Torug’s eyebrows wrinkled up when he saw the sight. It felt a bit weird, but it soon relaxed in amusement. This fellow focused most of his forces here, he must be unaware of Urim’s group.
“It’s alright.. it’s only a matter of time before I take your head.” Torug smiled.
Boom~
One part of the gates was blown open by a ‘Boom rock’ and the goblins were able to rush back in time. However, the opening was only at the upper part of the gate which had wood.
“Focus on the top side!! Archers provide support!!” Torug roared.
The goblins rushed out again with the archers following behind this time. as they provided cover.
Kill~
“Are you all idiots?.” Kharag became even more furious, as his deformed body glared at those who jumped down.
“Kill them! Kill them! kill them! Dye the fortress gates in blood!” Kharag loudly shouted.
“but my Chief, our people are…”
“Do it, they made their choice when they went down there!”
awoooo
a Wolf howl broke out and all the unmanned wolves charged at the warriors who jumped…
A fierce and real battle was happening…
Both sides fought each other fiercely. many died in the first few minutes of the battle. Nevertheless, both sides turned more ruthless as they hurt each other mercilessly.
The archers switched aim and shot down the raging orcs. For some reason, their actions made the Blackmoon clan feel Respect for them.
It wasn’t about who had the best fighting method but the one with the calm mind at the battlefield. The one who could see the gap and take the step to kill was much luckier than the other party. In the battlefield, the luck was a must.
Torug rode Alpha and stepped out of the treeline as the other wolves retreated.. the booming in the background along with the yells and screams, Torug gave Kharag a taunting smile.
