Chapter 70: Cracking Technique and Fragmentation Grenades_2
At this time, the defenders should dispatch their elite troops to charge the enemy beneath the city, but Jeska's squad no longer had the strength to strike out.
Mason was in charge of the northwestern Bastion, Bard was responsible for the southwestern Bastion, and Winters took charge of the western wall.
He carried a log with a spearman and knocked down a ladder.
The Herders on the ladder fell off, dusted themselves off, and climbed up again—the earthen walls of the Bastion were not high enough to be deadly.
For every ladder the Paratu People knocked down, the enemy would push up three more.
The enemy also pushed forward two devices resembling seesaws, and others directly scaled the fortress walls by hand.
Paratu soldiers, wielding steel blades and clad in heavy armor, surged onto the ramparts, and the battle turned into a vicious, face-to-face slaughter.
Both Paratu and Herders were clad in armor, making it exceedingly difficult to kill the enemy—for both sides.
