Skirmish (2)

"What is the beast doing?" Colonel Tiwana asked. "It has been observed herding the horde several times. It looks like the intelligence department and the soldiers' reports were right," the man said.

"The beast ran left and right, ensuring the mass of monsters went toward the eastern gate. This is not all; the thaids have been seen throwing stuff toward our position as soon as the Blirdoth ran towards them. A pattern has been noticed as the attacks mostly happen when the Blirdoth is nearby," he added.

"We can't redirect the 42nd Corps' attacks to it; the Yevyagìts will destroy the door if we do so," Colonel Tiwana said.

A sudden shout reverberated through the air as the monsters advanced. "They are coming," a soldier said.

Indeed, the creatures were now fatally close to the walls, and it was only a matter of time before they would start climbing and reach the top. If they did so, it would be hard for the soldiers to protect the gate.
