<b>Chapter </b>71
<b>Third </b>Person’s POV
<b>On </b><b>the </b>southern border battlefield, a fierce battle was about to break out.
Alpha Lance stood before everyone, his voice strong and powerful, carrying the unique dominance <b>of </b><b>an </b>Alpha. It traveled far in the biting cold wind.
“Warriors! Our homnd has been trampled by invaders from Dragon Ash. They’ve stolen ournd and killed our people. We must avenge them! Today, we reim ournd for our people and our glory. Charge!”
His words ignited the wrath of all the werewolf warriors. Their pheromones surged, forming a storm of
emotion.
The attack on the city gate was set to begin at noon. Adide led the Ironthorn Army as the vanguard, with Ulrik assisting nearby.
As the horn sounded, a sharp howl split the air.
The Ironthorn werewolves rapidly shifted their legs, the cracking of bones echoing around them.
They sprinted forward like arrows loosed from a bow.
Ulrik and his team pushed the catapults, crossbows, anddders forward, the heavy machinery leaving deep grooves in the snow.
Alpha Lance, atop a ck steed,manded the battle with a determined gaze.

In this decisive fight, he discarded the decoy and took the lead, ready to charge the moment the gate broke.
The siege was brutal.
The warriors of the Dragon Ash Kingdom stood on Darkw Town’s walls, their crossbows aimed at the werewolf warriors below.
So, they still had some werewolf warriors climb up the walls.
However, this time, Darkw Town’s walls had been reinforced and heightened.
In just ten days, the warriors of the Dragon Ash Kingdom had made the walls much higher.
Only a few, like Lance, Adide, and Paisley, could scale them.
Abbot, despite his efforts, struggled to stand firm after climbing.
An enemy’s spear struck him, and he fell. Paisley kicked the enemy away andshed out with her whip to save Abbot.
Ang covered her, blocking an enemy spear.

<b>Adide </b><b>and </b><b>Lance </b>destroyed two crossbows before Adide yelled <b>to </b><b>the </b><b>Ironthorn </b><b>Army</b>, Ready the <b>catapults</b>!”
<b>Ellen </b><b>swiftly </b>echoed Adide’smand, <b>“</b>Catapults, prepare!”
The catapults Ulrik had brought up were now in ce.
<b>As </b>the Ironthorn Army coordinated with Ulrik’s team, Ellen spotted a familiar figure–Velda.
She should have been at the rear.
The siege didn’t require her up front.
Adide had specified cooperation only with Ulrik’s group, who were handling heavy weaponry.
Ellen didn’t dwell on it and ordered the catapultsunched. Rocksunched from catapults smashed into the towers, dust flying everywhere.
The Ironthorn Army quickly set up thedders. As rehearsed, the first shield squad climbed up. They used their shields to block the enemy’s spears and climbed upward with difficulty.
Once they reached a certain height, they stabbed with short knives–killing enemies if possible, or at <b>least </b>blocking them.
The second spear squad followed, protected by the shields, picking off enemies with their spears.
Meanwhile, Lance and Adide fought fiercely on the walls.
More and more werewolves joined the fray, filling the battlements.
Archers on all four walls aimed their bows, creating a deadly barrage.
The massive logs pounded the gates, anddders allowed more Ironthorn warriors to climb.
The warriors below cheered, adding to the enemy’s pressure and nerves.
Lance and Adide quickly scanned the walls.
If the archers fired together, it would be a death trap.
Especially since opening the inner gate would take time, leaving them exposed to arrows.
Darkw Town’s walls were different from Frostfang Town’s. They were tall and thick on both sides and had four faces.
After the first gate, there was a second one.
Even if the first gate fell, the archers would ughter the iing werewolves.
Thus, they had to neutralize the archers first.
“Adide, take out the archers!” Lance ordered sharply, leaping toward the left wall.
Adide and Paisley understood and raced toward different walls, their speed immense <b>as </b>they blocked/3

arrows with their ws.
Abbot, injured and moving with difficulty, couldn’t perform the task. He stayed on the wall to disable crossbows.
Fortunately, Ironthorn warriors joined him, fighting side by side.
Adide and Paisley, like meteors, reached the south wall.
The archers, unable to shoot from a distance, charged.
Other archers quickly filled the gap, aiming at the gate, nning to ughter the werewolves the moment it opened.
