Chapter 214 Attacking Nakatiharna



Chapter 214 Attacking Nakatiharna

Nakatiharna City was one of the many militarized and fortified cities of Yevileria Tribal Union. It was located to the east of Puszlokajfa, and merely 44 miles away.

The landscape of the area around them was open plain with a few small hills here and there. With this clear pathway, an army of thousands could easily march directly to the city and attack.

Most of the land around Nakatiharna was unsuitable for crops, but further east was a few mountains with rich mineral sources. This gave them the wealth they needed to import food from other cities.

By relying on these mineral veins, town-leader Bogrith built this city as a heavily-militarized fortress, arming all of his men with proper weapons.

And as his army grew, so did his ambition. With the nearest enemy city merely 44 miles away, Bogrith kept sending other armies to whittle the morale of the enemy before planning to attack.

But, his subordinates came with rather shocking news.

“Black Wind Division is defeated? The leader was killed and the soldiers retreated?”

“Yes, town leader.”

“How is this possible? Who could defeat Tark?”.

“I was told that an army of golems attacked the Black Wind Division. Tark retreated from the siege and went to kill the golem master, but he got killed instead..”

“That impulsive bastard. A golem master is usually a wealthy person. For someone like him to act, what incentive did the winged-men offer?”

“Our spies said that they will lease the land he conquered to him for 20 years.”

“20 Years? Leasing an entire city to a single person in that timeframe was indeed a great incentive. But it would be a mistake if he came to my city.”

Bogrith did not care too much about one player. In a war, he needed to see the general trend, and one person could not affect everything.

Unbeknown to Bogrith however, Aldred already moved his golem troops near his city, and then sent his undead army to reinforce other city.

Normally, one person could not affect the flow of war, but Aldred was an exception, because he was an army by himself.

On a hillside, two kilometers outside of Nakatiharna, a squad of 20 Artillery Golem, 50 gunners, and 100 fighter golems hid by putting bushes and grass on their skin.

Golems were very adaptable. They could absorb surrounding materials and put it on the surface of their body. This made it hard to spot them and were the perfect soldiers for ambush.

Aldred was still relaxing in his camp, using Stella’s mirror spell to overlook the various battles that happened. Currently, his sight was on the golem army that slowly crawled above the hill.

He saw the city of Nakatiharna’s wall that was at least 15 meters high, and seemed to be made out of durable bricks with enough thickness. The gate was made out of black steel. It was a very expensive material.

Aldred did not see the city as a challenge, instead, he saw it as a goldmine.

‘Capture that town for me. Kill everyone who resists.’

The golems obeyed without a word, and the Artillery Golems began their bombardment.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The thick gate was quickly destroyed, and the rest of the golems started charging downhill.

“Enemy attack!”

The bells on the towers were quickly rung to warn everyone in the city. Soldiers quickly reinforced the gate, and more soldiers ran on top of the wall.

Over 100 expressionless 2 meter golems sped towards them. This gave a unique sense of fear within their heart because they knew these golems did not feel fear of death or threat.

“Attack those golems!”

The soldiers grabbed their longbows, but before they could even aim, numerous fire bullets tore their arms, and then their whole body apart.

“AHH! MY ARMS!!”

“Duck down! Take cover!”

The fire bullets went through the brick, and shot the man’s head who told everyone to take cover.

“Quick! Fire the catapult!”

The defensive catapults placed in the city, threw large boulders into the sky. Soon after, they crashed onto the golems.

Aldred clicked his tongue. Since the Golem was almost indestructible, he wasn’t worried, but their numbers would reduce if they got trapped below the boulders.

And sure enough, after seeing the catapults attack were effective, the bugbear sent more and more boulders into the sky.

‘Artillery golems! Destroy those catapults.’

They fired their golem shells into the sky, and these golems shells quickly maneuvered in the air to find their target before diving down at it.

Boom! Numerous explosions ensued within the city wall. The soldiers scrambled in panic as more golem shells fell nearby them and exploded with the power of 5 times his fireball.

The fighter golems quickly arrived at the gate, and a bloodbath ensued as they cut the infantry down.

All the shields, armors, maces, halberds, all were cut down by their enormous weight. The bugbear was strong physically, but they couldn’t defeat the golems whose entire bodies were made out of rare-grade materials.

Over 200 soldiers dressed in thick armor equipped with halberds came from the deep part of the city. This was the town-leader personal guards, and they were the most elite of men in this town.

Behind these 200 elite soldiers was the castle, and on top of the wall were a bunch of heavy crossbows.

Standing on top of the wall was a dignified bugbear with a beard that made him look like a wise creature.

“Golem master! Stop this atrocity or you will face the wrath of our entire race!”

Aldred looked at Bart.

“Don’t listen to him. This is a war to begin with. If we don’t attack them, they will attack us.”

“In that case, I will attack without mercy. Kill them all.”

100 fighter golems charged forward while the 50 gunners killed those that came from the side and helped the fighter golems.

Town leader Bogrith gritted his teeth. “You underestimated me. Fire the arrows.”

Shockingly, instead of sending arrows one by one, the heavy crossbows send out 7 meter long bolts of steel in rapid succession.
