After the huge explosion swallowed the 1,000 fighter golems, Aldred saw a lot of the wreckage were salvageable, but his golems faiiled to regenerate.
His fighting force reduced from 4,000 to 3,000.
Aldred thought the town leader was out of cards to play until suddenly a lot of small bugbears popped out from the ground, and attacked the artillery golems and the gunner golems.
"Assassins!" Aldred exclaimed. "They use assassins to attack the back line. This bugbear has brains."
The gunner golems could still retaliate, but the artillery golems weren't designed to fight anything in close-range.
Not to mention these bugbears had smaller bodies than normal.
Tarrar grinned. These were his special assassins unit. Bugbears actually hated small bugbears because they were seen as weak and useless.
They cannot lift big weapons. They cannot lift bricks or wood for construction. They were very useless even as slaves.
So they were outcast.
