Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 107

Siege warfare was the most brutal battle.

From the walls of Simonton City, crossbow machines aimed at the soldiers below. As before, they relied on those skilled in Lightfoot Skill to scale the walls. However, this time, the walls of Simonton City had been reinforced and heightened.

In just ten days, the Sandorian army had raised the walls by a meter, leaving only Rafael, Carissa, Violet, and a few others capable of reaching the top.

Timothy struggled initially, unable to fly up. After several attempts, he finally made it, but an enemy spear thrust towards him as soon as he landed. He fell straight down, only to be saved by Violet, who kicked the enemy away and threw her whip, lashing it around Timothy to pull him up.

With Violet rescuing Timothy, Cynthia immediately covered her, blocking enemy spears that reached out.

Amidst the throng of enemies, Carissa and Rafael destroyed two crossbow machines.

Carissa shouted to the Mystic Army, "Deploy the catapults!"

Michael relayed the command, "Deploy the catapults!"

Barrett's troops arrived with heavy artillery. As the Mystic Army and Barrett's forces joined, Michael spotted a familiar figure. He focused, and realized it was Aurora.

He was puzzled.

Wasn't Aurora supposed to be leading the rear troops? She wasn't needed at the front for the siege. Carissa had mentioned that only coordination with Barrett's troops was necessary; they were responsible for transporting the heavy machinery.

Despite his confusion, Michael ordered the catapults to be moved into position. Massive stones were hurled at the city tower, raising clouds of dust.

The Mystic Army quickly set up the scaling ladders. Following the drills they had practiced, the ladders were divided into front and rear sections. The first team, equipped with shields, ascended first. Enemy spears jabbed at them, but the shields provided cover as they arduously climbed the ladders.

Upon reaching a certain height, they drew knives. If they could kill an enemy, they did; if not, they still obstructed the enemy.
