Chapter 52: The Magic of Trickery

Xeron was very dissatisfied with this siege, very, very dissatisfied!

He thought he could have killed to his heart's content and harvest thousands of delicious souls. But unexpectedly, his opponent's defense was weak to the extent that it seemed as though they had no defense at all. The gates to the city were blasted open in less than two hours, and the battle ended.

Not only did the city not have large numbers of elven troops, but the civilians had already evacuated long ago. After killing the guards, Xeron had only received one hundred souls, even fewer than with the pegasus knights before! How could Xeron possibly be happy?

To think that he especially stopped for a day to repair the siege equipment, but they had not been put to much use at all.
