invasion (part three)

iris distributed red crystals to her archers "tie them to an arrow, I do not care what you use but make it quick" the rhythmic steps of the skeletons were getting closer and closer, the south wall succumbed even if someone had survived she could not afford a rescue mission, regarding the north wall, there were still guards who remained standing but ravoth and renfield, they disappeared completely

iris keeps her eye fixed on the central plaza, her soldiers were terrified and the liches knew this, the skeletons beat their shields with their swords like a twisted melody of death as little by little they formed in the square like ants "reduce those bastards to ashes "the arrows covered the city finishing with several of them and those that were not finished by the arrows, perished because of the explosions

"Cyclops" shouted a soldier, under the west wall was clearly a large green figure with a huge eye "perfect" said iris as she loaded her crossbow with an arrow tied to a red crystal and she shot it into the barrels previously placed. The explosion was immense and when the smoke dispersed there was only half of the body of the Cyclops surrounded by a pile of rubble

morale came up suddenly and with that she had gained a couple more minutes

"Ma'am, we should withdraw to the castle while we still can"

"No, it's too soon, the castle is our last line of defense"

iris took these brief moments to clear her mind but she had no ideas or useful equipment only her soldiers who were nothing more than simple farmers and merchants

again the clashes of swords with shields covered the city "damn it, not even two minutes have passed" this time there were four Cyclops with them

"they are a distraction, look for dark spots in their ranks" she knew that it would not be the Cyclops who would knock down the doors but the magicians who were hidden next to the skeletons, iris went around the whole wall repeating the same

the soldiers try to be as precise as they could but it was not enough

"breach in the wall" the southeast side was surpassed

"to the castle, everyone to the castle" iris moved next to his men, in the castle there were about 60 people, women and children counting the soldiers would be about 150 in total "ratley, ratley where the fuck are you?" iris hurried to look for him "he went to the prison" said a girl

"Great, you there, do not stand like an idiot, go look for maps" iris told a soldier who stood guard with the civilians, then she made several groups to look for weapons and resources such as food and medicines, finally she remain with seven of her soldiers "civilians, go to the prison if ratley is still there he may have found something" she made several barricades with furniture found in the main hall and prepared for what would be the final wave
