Catapult Crisis
Sam was trying his best to make things right, but he is already a bit late, maybe he should have just become more determined and earlier too.
Because that night, while he and Philip are working on some armors, the Minotaurs made a first significant attack.
For the first battle at the town gate, the Minotaur's mainly damaged the town hall than the soldiers, that is because of their lack of long-range attacking methods and their lack of aptitude in taming beasts.
But now the situation changed. They have those catapults of various sizes. From small size that could through a medium-sized rock to target the soldiers on the wall and the larger size that could cross past the walls and land directly in the town destroying the residents. There are all sizes.
Not just that, the Minotaurs were joined with another batch of troops that are riding some flying beasts.
