8 Chapter 6 (Catapult)

"Eh...!, Captain!~ Captain is here!" *Alarmed* A guard said after noticing my presence, he recognized me because of my height, which is of course short as I'm just a teenager.

"Ah! Captain? ho-hum,~ *yawning* wait, Captain? Aah...!" *Panicked*

"Aah... she is here!" Every one is Panicked and running on the passage made inside the wall. What the hell! are they more afraid of my presence' than the approaching enemies. They are really panicked because of me and even before I could say anything, they all lined up in the specific pattern that I trained them for the Battle. I had trained them in a very different way than my father's usual method. After training them for nearly three months I finally managed to bring out their full potential. I had made different squads' to do the different tasks assigned to them together, that can bring their full potentials' to work at the same time avoiding unnecessary chaos that generally creates during any War in a werewolf Army.

It's not like my father had a poor method of managing his Army, the problem is that my army is made up of new recruits' that have little to no experience of any war. They are just a bunch of Sloths' wanting to be a warrior General, I should probably tell them not to dream about it before they have fought in any war. My father is also very clever in recruiting a warrior, he basically recruits' those werewolves who have very long experience of fighting in the War. That's very unfair even if you are a King, I should also get those privileges. But I'm not so helpless to the extent that I will beg for it, I have already trained my troops according to my Style and they are Loyal even though they are extremally Lazy.

I have made a new strategy against the humans' Cavalry, and now I think it is perfect, they all fall in my trap like 'a mice falling for Cheese'. I set-up an underground passage inside each building so my Troops can escape through it without getting in the way of enemies' arrow, it was really a good plan. As we can see that our enemy's followed the same pattern that they usually do and thus no one gets hurt. Then there was one more thing to do and it was to set up a secondary accommodation, I got an idea which was to make it inside the wall by transforming the wall itself into a building.

A werewolf from my kingdom made a new machine that can throw those humongous arrows just like a Marksman, but it is more efficient and powerful than a normal bow. All it need was a brilliants' brain, some woods, a rope, a platform to keep the arrows' upward, a huge basket, and some heavy stones to fill the basket that can throw the mass of arrows' with a great Speed. The power and momentum it carries are incomparable to a normal Marksman of Humans when they are already inferior to our Marksman. It's called a Catapult, when the tension from the rope is released it will throw the Arrows' into the air with the help of the mass of Stones filled inside the bucket.

// Its function is just like a trebuchet but the thrower is more like a Catapult //

They made their Squads and lined up in the specific Formation that I had trained them in and Greeted me "Good Morning Captain, we are in your commandments' The dog who disobey you shall not get the promotion.". I have made a rule to call a slowest member 'Dog' and he will not get any promotion if he doesn't improve, but it was effective as no werewolf would like to be called a dog when he has the ambitions' to be a Great Warrior. They are so well trained, now they don't even need any marshal. "Good... good~ now hurry up, be ready for the enemies' this is the time for Vengeance, for your brothers' for your friends' who died in the hand of those cunning humans."

The reason why we call them Cunning creatures' not because they are savvy, but the reality is that these humans are very Deceptive and Crafty. It's not like they are our most powerful Enemies' they are no match before our main Troops' of 'City of Ulf', but both our species are literally engaged in a Four-way War that these humans are completely ignorant of. How can they be so unknowledgeable of such great feud?, perhaps because this is just a plebeian Kingdom with the Lowest ranking among the other Empires of Human. Except for some High-class Magus, Alchemist, Astrologers, and the Royal family, most of them don't even know that if not for our territory falling in-between the other Species' territory, they would not have thrived till this day.

...

By this time the Enemies' troops' has already reached near the Fortress though, the captain was already there waiting for his troops to arrive. He was right behind me when I reached inside the Gate, so this isn't surprising that he was ahead of his troops. Their troops stand before our Fortress' wounded and exhausted, the arrows' did its work as expected. Captain was still wondered at the catapult, he must be thinking how it works so efficiently?. The range of the Catapult is between fifty meters and a thousand meters, the minimum range can be decreased but it requires some adjustments in its angle.

So they were safe inside that zone, but it is not the thing to be contented about. They were already depleted by one-fourth in number and the rest of the troops were either exhausted or heavily injured even with the support of magi's. Their marksman had also depleted their mana and no one is shooting any more arrows' it's more they are already defeated. But it seems like their morale is still high and I think it raised even more, because of getting out of that seemingly Impossible rain of enormous arrows. "Did I helped them raise their spirit?" I'm surprised, but this is not enough to gain a victory over us.

"For Daemon Land, for our brothers', for our family, we will fight till our last breath~ for daemon land for... *Everyone started shouting after their Captain*~ Break the Gate.". The few spear throwers' started to attack the gate of Fortress with their all might and attack. "Was that their Slogan? Ridiculous! bha~ha ha..., Open the damn Gate," I command my troops after watching their pointless effort. When they were nearly close to breaking the door, it opened. They become dumbstruck after watching this unpredictable event, like why would an enemy open their entrance to welcome them instead of attacking. But this is not over yet, the final show is not here. We both are ready for the final attack, the difference is just that we are going to win and they are going to lose. The same thought must be running in their mind, as they are winning with us for the past two years. Little did they know that we don't even consider them as our opponent.
