บท 246: Message to those insides

The days slipped by like a steady march, each one bringing the army closer to the final act of their siege. Outside the city of Arduronaven, Alpheo's soldiers worked tirelessly,

transforming the barren landscape into a theater of war.

Engineers directed crews to haul timber,and the dirt filling path would pass through the ditch shielding the city's walls.

The onagers, finally having been dragged back to camp after the battle, resumed their relentless barrage. Stones the size of barrels crashed against the walls, sending up plumes of dust and chips of rock that rained down like hail upon the defenders.
