Chapter 376 Counterattack Of Defender Of Fortress Of Soren
As the group of soldiers, now on horses, charged towards the large group of monsters, General Soren could not help but feel more alive at the moment.
He grip tightly his greatsword, not planning on losing it at a very crucial moment. Soon, they get about 100 feet away from the monsters.
90 feet.
80 feet.
50 feet.
30 feet.
10 feet.
0 feet.
The moment they are close enough to the point he could feel the smell of the monster's mouth, General Soren swing his greatsword, cutting a large swath of the enemy with a single move.
He then stabbed through 3 Orcs at once, before bisecting them while pulling his weapon.
"KEEP THE MOMENTUM!" the order was heard by the solders, who continue doing their best in slaughtering the monsters.
The reason for the monsters unable to prepare for such thing is due to surprise of the attack, as well as their inability to react quickly, mostly due to their lack of experience. Meanwhile, the elites General Soren brought with him had fought in many battles and could sniff out the change in the battlefield easily.
Due to the sudden charge, many monsters were caught off guard as they are slain in hundreds in just a few seconds.
"Grahh! Wra-" one of the leader, a Goblin Noble ordered his group to form a defensive line but it was caught short when an arrow pierced it skull.
"That should be the leader of this group," the archer who just kill the Goblin Noble sigh in relief before keeping his distance as the monster's horde, mostly made up of Goblin, began to falter before breaking down.
Taking the opportunity that just lied in front of them, the small group of elites charged towards the retreating monsters, killing all they could reach with their weapons.
Blood of the monsters soon flow on the battlefield with many lesser monsters slain with some of the stronger ones. However, their successful strike would come to an end as a group of A-rank monsters, along with a slightly stronger force made their way towards them.
"Likely. We should prepare to make our retreat," General Soren look at the soldier carrying a horn.
The soldier nodded as he took the war horn and blow it, signaling the beginning of their retreat. Quickly, the small group of 200 head straight to the gate.
Seeing this, the monsters they just fought, Kobolds, tempted to rush after them, but was stopped by one of the vice leader of the group, the Kobold King.
Barking at its minion, it pointed at the group of soldiers on the wall, their bows readied and aiming at them. Realizing what could happen if they continue their charge, they back away, knowing only death awaited them if they continued.
And so, the 13th day of the siege resulted in casualties numbering in thousands for the monsters, while the Astor Kingdom did not lost a single one of their troop for the day.

"Wrahg! Hargh!"
"Awwooo! Warff!"
"Grrrrr, hraargh!"
"Kkheer, sshshshrkh,"
The leader of each fronts gathered together to discuss the plan for the future. They realize continuing the siege would continue to eat their forces, weakening them for future assaults.
Unfortunately, they could not ask their master, who personally ordered them to handle it on their own. Realizing they are on their own, the monsters decided to come up with a plan to end the siege, but end up arguing with one another.
As for their master, he was busy laughing at how they acted.
"They sure took this seriously," Alros said to himself, a slight smile on his face. While the loses for the day might be great, it will not take long for them to replenishing their numbers, especially when their main forces made out of monsters infamous for their speed of reproduction.
With the number of women he gave them, it would be easy to replenishing the forces, though the next generation would be lacking in term of experience and combat abilities.
"A price to pay," he said to himself before looking back at the four monsters, who had been silence for a while. He wonder if it because they gave each other the silent treatment or they finally come up with a plan.
He hope it is the later, as it would mean that the monsters finally able to destroy an army on their own.
