Considering it was his first, it wasn’t a bad siege weapon.“For now, I have to increase the numbers.”Weed produced 10 trebuchets.Since he was making them all for the first time, it was impossible to predict their performance. He normally underwent multiple runs of trial and error while improving, but everything was a first.The alliance tribesmen approached.“It’s an extremely large weapon. Are you giving it to us?”Weed gave them a thumbs up. “Yep. I made it for you. You’ll be able to destroy the fortress with it too.”“You’re the best.”“As long as you’ve got this, you’ll be unbeatable. You must definitely win.”“Thanks, brother!”All Weed made were stone firing trebuchets, ladders, and ropes that could be hung on the walls by throwing hooks!The trebuchets’ quality wasn’t verified, and they didn’t even undergo a test launch.Weed dumped the items he did not dare to use for the alliance tribesmen, whose weapons and armor had been mostly touched up while getting near the Embinyu Church’s fortress.Weed called Yellowy. “Come here.”“……”Yellowy took a step back.“Hurry up and come.”“Tell what you’re calling me for, Master.”“I’m just trying to give you a pat.”“But why is Master holding a rope?” Yellowy’s eyes were filled with suspicion.“Why the rope? Can I not just be holding it? Come here for now. Just come.”“This doesn’t feel right. I would like to refuse.”“It’s nothing. I get it, so just come.”
Yellowy approached very cautiously. Weed gently stroked his neck a few times and then wrapped his neck and torso with the rope like a flash of lightning.
MOOOOOO!
The sorrowfully bellowing Yellowy!
“Master, why are you doing this? What have I done wrong…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you. There are luggages, so shouldn’t you move it?”
Yellowy’s fate had already been determined ever since the trebuchets were made.
Bingryong and the Phoenixes had very little pity in their gazes.
‘Lucky it’s not me.’
‘It’s fine as long as it’s not me.’
After finishing a hearty meal Weed had cooked from their prey, they marched to the Embinyu Church’s fortress.
* * *
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the fortress of the Embinyu Church, drums sounded to announce an emergency. Dark Knights, Priests, and Archers were deployed to the walls as they swiftly prepared for battle.
By the time Weed, Yellowy, and the alliance tribesmen drew near as they pushed the trebuchets together, Embinyu Church’s troops were on the fort walls in full force. The trebuchets were so heavy, their movement was slow despite having put wheels on them.
To make matters worse, there was black smoke rising from the spires of the fortress.
The alliance tribesmen pointed at the smoke.
“Seems like they’re roasting meat.”
“Looks like they’re gonna eat something tasty.”
An ignorant response to the smoke!
Weed’s face hardened.
‘They’re making the smoke to tell their surroundings that they’re under attack. It’s an emergency communication to summon their allies.’
It was a signal fire informing the start of a the war! The savages in the River of Lamentation basin who saw the signal would summon Warriors to subjugate Weed and the three tribes.They would have to fight the Barbarian reinforcements at the Embinyu Church’s fortress.
Weed swallowed his saliva with a gulp.
It wasn’t something he hadn’t expected, but it was definitely tough.
“We’ll have to attack before the reinforcements arrive.”
Weed yelled at alliance tribesmen who had moved the trebuchets and were briefly resting.
“Load trebuchet!”
100 Vejague Tribe Warriors dragged the trebuchet and lowered the pouch. Then, after lifting a boulder into the pouch, they fired it.
Wooosh!
The powerfully ejected boulder drew an arc as it flew mightily. It was a rock attack with deadly weight.
However, the trebuchet was too far. The boulder lost most of its force and collided into the bottom of the wall, not the center.
In the end, it was a dud and it merely grazed the wall!
Durability of the wall has decreased by 49.
Total durability: 9,999,951/10,000,000.
“This won’t work even if we hit them all day. No, we’ll run out of stones to throw first. Trebuchet forces, advance!”
Weed pushed the trebuchet along with the Vejague Tribe. It was so they could fire from a slightly closer location!
Since he had to break walls much thicker than Odin Fort’s, he decided to take the risk.
Yellowy powerfully towed the trebuchets forward, displaying the strength of a Korean cow.
The Embinyu Church’s fortress also responded.
“Fire!”
They struck back by densely covering the sky with arrows.
“Hold your shield and block!”
Even without Weed’s command, the Vejague Tribe lifted their shields in order to survive.
There was already a shield fastened onto Yellowy’s brow, and his torso was wrapped in silk. Weed had weaved together a tangle of unusable silk pieces to block the arrows.
The rain of arrows poured down on the Vejague Tribe and the area around the trebuchets.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bang!
“AHHHHH!”
“MY FOOT, AN ARROW HIT MY FOOT!”
The impact of the arrows was conveyed directly through the shields. Although they were holding shields, the Vejague Tribe’s warriors were pushed back by the strength and fell to their knees. Some arrows even penetrated the shoddy shields and hit the tribe Hunters.
The Salmere Tribe Hunters also fired arrows but they could not go over the walls.
“Let’s fire the trebuchet too!”
Weed approached about a hundred more paces and ordered the use of the trebuchet.
“Too many arrows are flying in.”
“Jungbal… Jungbal died.”
“Find cover. Hide yourselves behind the trebuchets, and Vejague Tribe Warriors, load the trebuchets quickly!”
It was a one-sided arrow attack on the plains without any cover! Over thirty Vejague tribesmen died from the arrows while moving 10 boulders. But when they put their lives on the line and used the trebuchets, the boulders surged towards the wall.
All but one failure were successful attacks!
