Meanwhile, Lorem and the forces of Utgard and Silvara reached the plains outside the capital city. Their assault and siege were only a few hours' march from their position.
Ignis and Amalia, with their damaged armour, lead the valkyries into four groups. Verana, Helliana and Valerie helped the warriors and knights of Utgard craft and set up the siege towers, catapults and battering rams, created using the materials that they collected and brought with them.
Mu Xue helped prepare the medical and residential tents with the help of Vela, who let the soldiers of Silvara forage and prepare their encampments.
While everyone was busy, Xavida flew around the mountains area to scout for monsters and enemy movements and collect boulders for the catapults to fire.
Minutes later, she had filled one cart with huge, roughly spherical boulders and transported it back to the siege camps.
