Kapitel 141: Victory

 When they got close enough to the siege weapons so that Zaos could set them ablaze, several groups of archers pointed their bows toward them. Still, the horde of soldiers raised their shields and kept charging like nothing had happened. The first target had been a catapult, Zaos aimed at the core of the weapon. When the mercenaries noticed who was among the soldiers, they tried to form a barrier, but they weren't fast enough. The flames quickly spread, and the archers watched it helplessly. They were supposed to protect that, and now they were going to pay with their lives. Commander Ruvyn and the soldiers charged toward them and wiped them out instantly.

 Before selecting the next target, Ruvyn looked around and saw that the mercenaries' formation had been completely destroyed, and there was no sign that they were going to regroup. He couldn't hear any signs of the chain of command trying to organize things.
