253 Morale Broken 3

Suddenly one of the skeletons, Blue, sprinted at the palisade wall.

To the surprise of the archers, it didn’t try to push open the gate or hack a hole into the wood - instead, its claws dug into the wall, and before anyone realised what was happening it had climbed up the wall nearly as quickly as it had run towards it.

Jay gave it only one order: attack whoever attacks you.

He decided to subjugate the village, having them bend their knees to him until he was finished with them.

Liny and his thugs were shocked, but now the skeleton was close and they thought they would have a better chance of hitting it with their inaccurate arrows.

An arrow flew at Blue, bouncing harmlessly through its ribcage. This provocation gave Blue the green light to attack, and it did so without hesitation.

Blue raised its sword, sprinting along the wooden platform.

A few archers had their fists up in defence, but Blue dashed right past them while their lives flashed before their eyes.
