"Fire!" Upon the princess's command, the mounted weapons on the town walls fired, aiming to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible.
Their blasts were soon joined by the archers and mages, who unleashed a storm of arrows and elemental magic.
But the Crimson Sun Empire wasn't idle. Their siege weapons retaliated with brutal force, aiming to crack the town's defenses.
Bulky soldiers in heavy armor surged forward, hoisting large ladders. Their goal: mount them against the town gates to create a path for melee units to breach the defenses.
Most were cut down before they could get close. But a few succeeded—heaving the ladders into place and scaling the walls.
There, they were met by the defenders of the Draconian Empire. Steel clashed with steel as a vicious melee broke out atop the battlements.
A deadly clash erupted. It was clear, no matter who won, the cost would be hefty.
Usually, Sofia would have entered the battle as well, helping her subjects, but now it was impossible.
