A bell was being rang, it sounded five times.
Every guard that was still sleeping soundly abruptly woke up.
The bell getting struck five times meant only one thing, war.
The guards started running towards their posts, putting on their armor while running.
"Sir!" Jacob and a few other called out as their superior set foot onto the main defence wall.
"Jacob tell me what's going on, I want a full report."
"yes sir, so at 7 in the morning our night patrol got swapped out with day patrol, one of the day patrol guards having freshly slept saw something in the distance as he looked over the wall, he then alamerd his superior, me, and I then went and looked, I saw a large unit of lizards moving here they have approximately two thousand troops. "
Jacobs superior started to stroke his chin." damned paraginions, Jacob, go to the message room and send a message to higher-ups for back-up. "
" yes sir. "
Jacob immediately moved out towards the message room.
'I hope that we can hold out long enough' Jacob's superior thought.
...
Smith stood next to Cyrus." I'll head out then. " Smith said.
" okay, go do your worst " Cyrus said with a smile on his face.
Smith started running and then transformed into his first form. A second later he let out an ear shattering roar.
Signaling to the other's that it was time to fight. All the other Paraginions started to move out.
The ground under them started to shake. The humans on top of the wall quickly reacted.
The weird machine on both sides of the front wall turned towards them, and they both let loose a two meter long arrow.
Smith easily dodged them, but that couldn't be said for the other lizards, some of them got pierced and the projectiles kept on coming at a high rate.
And once they were closer to the wall some fireballs got released, also some icicles started to shoot towards the troops.
The fireballs and icicles did almost no damage to Smith. He then quicky reached the wall and started to climb up.
Now stones were flung at him, and some liquid also splashed over him.
And a second later another fireball was flung at him setting the liquid on fire, Smith was now a burning lizard.
He felt that it actually started to hurt so he climbed the wall even faster, the humans started to yell at each other, they now focused most of their attacks on Smith.
...
"KEEP FIRING DAMNIT!"
"Sir, I can't all my mana is already used up!"
"DRINK A MANA POTION THAN!"
"FUCK, THAT BEAST MUST BE-" "Crack- crack-crack"
The commander turned around as he heard a crackling sound, and a second later he saw a beasts head appearing above the wall, fire raging in the beasts mouth and on his whole body.
"-oh fuck" those were the last words that came out of the commanders mouth as he turned into ash.
The soldiers that saw the flaming beast appear above the castle wall immediately made a run for it.
But not much later they were also turned into ash, as the flames the beast had released were stuck on them.
The Y shaped bows then quickly turned towards the beast who was on the wall but before they could release a shot the beast already stood before on of the Y-bows.
The other Y-bow soldiers were to scared to fire, fearing that they would hit their comrades.
But not much later they heard scratching sounds coming from their tower, one of the soldiers quickly looked over the edge, but he was greated with sharp claws.
Which went inside of his head, he was then thrown of the wall. Becoming a splatter of blood on the grass below.
The others by the Y-bow saw their friend dissappearing over the edge and then saw some new faces appear, those of the lizards.
They tried to quickly climb down the ladder to seek safety under the Y-bow but to no avail as the lizards immediately pounced on them tearing them to shreds.
As soon as the lizards came over the wall all hope of surviving was erased from the soldiers minds. Why did they have to fight against such strong opponents, they were only trained to kill those stupid gaints, nothing else.
Almost all of the soldiers dropped their weapons and tried to run away or seek a place to hide.
...
Jacob was still busy reporting everything that was happening to some higher-ups in the capital as he started to hear screams outside of the message room.
He quickly ran towards the door and opened it, he looked to the right and his heart skipped a beat, a monstrosity stood only a few meters away from him.
The scariest aspect about the monster weren't the raging flames that were dancing all over its body, but it's eyes.
Jacob didn't know how to describe them, and he also couldn't as a set of jaws closed around his head, separating it from his body.
...
Cyrus arrived not much later in the castle, he could see the littered bodies of the humans laying everywhere.
As he went towards the middle of the castle he could see the lizards standing in a group, their he could also see one of the lizards burning.
He quickened his pace and stood in front of the lizard, it was Smith who was back in his humanoid form.
He was trying to put out the flames but they kept on raging.
Cyrus came closer and extended his arm, the flames that were raging on Smith's body slowly started to come towards Cyrus hand, after all the flames gathered he closed his hand and they dissappeared.
"thanks for helping me out." Smith said.
"no problem, they probably used some type of flame burner fluid, you should probably go and wash yourself somewhere."
Smith then went to look for a place where he could wash himself off.
Cyrus then turned towards the others.
"Good job everyone!, Tonight we will feast!"
Everyone then broke out in loud cheers and roars.
