The explosion was so massive that it sent debris flying all over the place. Some of it even managed to inflict damage on the Oros defenders.
As the aftermath of the event subsided, the defenders on the wall noticed too late when the golem army began to set up their siege towers and ladders against the wall. Earlier they had managed to destroy several of the towers. The golems may be hard to kill but their siege engines weren't indestructible. But because they had been distracted by the heavy explosion, they had lost focus on the invaders.
"Kick the ladders, don't let them establish a foothold. Mages and archers, focus on the towers before it's too late!" said one of the commanders, as the second in command after the general, he had to keep the golems at bay until the General dealt with the intruders inside.
Although he had hope that the General would come back victorious, that large explosion from earlier left a seed of doubt in his mind.
