As the group of soldiers, now on horses, charged towards therge group of monsters, General Soren could not help but feel more alive at the moment.


    He grip tightly his greatsword, not nning 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 arge 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 ughtering 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 theirck 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 in 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 in with some of the stronger ones. However, their sessful strike woulde to an end as a group of A-rank monsters, along with a slightly stronger force made their way towards them.


    "Alright, it''s time to retreat from here. If we can, we will continue the n," General Soren eximed as he lead his small detachment away from the raging elite Goblins.


    -x-


    Gobruk growled, already nning painful death for the human that caused him great humiliation. He don''t know what to do with the man but he wanted to make him suffer.


    Knowing continuing the assault to be a foolhardy option, he ordered his Goblins to form a formation before preparing for a retreat, though they will not do so until the others do so.


    No need to get the other lines to suffer from more pressure. As it''s eyes nce towards the human force, he wondered why they did not return back to the fortress.


    He then thought of a possibility before contacting the other leaders, telling them, they are in danger, or more specifically, their forces are in danger.


    -x-


    General Soren knew he has a limited time to work on, and he wanted to butcher as many monsters as he could. And the only way to do so is to act fast and hit them before they could defend themselves.


    Thankfully, their next target, the Orcs, are still focusing on the assaults. While they are stronger than the Goblins, killing them would still be easy for the detachment.


    -x-


    The Demon Orc Warking looked at the message it received from its counterpart. He has his respect for Gobruk, despite them being two different species. After all, he is the first to be turned, and one of the stronger monsters, able to even defeat him a few time.


    For him to send a message, it should be urgent. As it read the message, his eyes widened before he ordered a defensive formation, as he knew his forces would suffer great loses if they are not prepared.


    He then charged towards the battlefield, knowing powerhouse in his caliber should made his way to y his subordinates.


    s, he was toote, as his Orcs suffered great loses, with no human dying. Growling angrily, the Demon Orc Warking ordered a general retreat, though he still keep his forces close by, acting as disguise in case they are pulling a fast one.


    -x-


    And so, two more counterattack were done in by the small elite group. The only differencepared to the previous attack is the fact the monsters at the remaining two fronts were prepared for them.


    "It seem they couldmunicate quickly with one another. No doubt the work of their demon overlord," one of Soren''s subordinates eximed.


    "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.


    -x-


    "Wrahg! Hargh!"


    "Awwooo! Warff!"


    "Grrrrr, hraargh!"


    "Kkheer, sshshshrkh,"


    The leader of each fronts gathered together to discuss the n 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 toe up with a n to end the siege, but end up arguing with one another.


    As for their master, he was busyughing at how they acted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "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 becking in term of experience andbat 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 finallye up with a n.


    He hope it is theter, as it would mean that the monsters finally able to destroy an army on their own.
