The chronicles of Mittland Part 03 Time of the wolves

[Vauban]

While the rebels arrested the survivors dragon soldiers in the ruin, the forest men turned and pressed the pipes, filled in measured powder quantities and pushed the heavy balls into the pipes, exactly in the same kind, as they had seen done it by the dragon soldiers. Then they fired the first cannon.

[Vauban]

They had aimed with this at those far catapults stationed in front. Although they missed the first catapult around several feet, the pressure wave of the projectile threw the dragon soldiers to the ground. The forest people corrected quickly and already the next shot met the catapults.

[Vauban]

The two remaining cannons had aimed at the advancing army of the dragon soldiers. The soldiers went to the soil also here by the dozen. The defenders of the fortification had noticed the missing of the bombardment. They used the fire break to save the wounded ones and to delete further fires. When their observers announced the fact, that the attacking dragon soldiers were under the fire by their own cannons, the women and men on the walls of the fortress were shouting with joy and they got new courage.

[Vauban]

The noble knight SELVIC recognized the favour of the hour as the first. „Collect the riders! We make an outbreak! There is assistance outside, and so we will take ARTRAC's soldiers into the plier!“ The warriors followed loudly shouting the old fighter's instruction. They felt that the surely believed fall could be perhaps still turned away. 

[Vauban]

For the first time for more than four years the heavy gates of NIHINARA were opened.  With new hope and strengthened combat will the soldiers of the Mountain realm were leaving the gate fortress on their horses. With pulled swords they rode against the confused dragon soldiers. They were ready, to cause the decision.

[Vauban]

JURAS and the remaining rebels had likewise reached the old ruin. The bowmen went into position, and the foot troops advanced toward of ARTRAC's soldier. Also the long trunks were attacking under the loud roar of their riders the dragon soldiers. JURAS stopped thereupon the fire of the cannons in order to endanger not his people. The fight man against man had begun. 

To bei continued …

@WoT: Thank you. I hope you have fun with the next chapter 

Chapter XI.

In the meantime ARN's and LILIAN's  strange journey through the mountain did not take an end. It seemed to LILIAN, as if they would hurry already for hours aimlessly by the dark or only weakly illuminated lugs. As soon as she could see in the weak light of the rare torches somewhat, she ducked herself. She was afraid that the lugs were not high enough for human passengers.

[Vauban]

Finally LILIAN did not bear it. She tapped her driver on the shoulders and asked the dwarf, „when will we finally get our destination?“ „Have patience, human woman, the way is no longer as far as it at the beginning of the journey was.“ Then the dwarf was silent and looked again forward. Annoyed about this useless answer LILIAN tried to get more informations by ARN. In order to over-sound the travel noises, she had to cry.

[Vauban]

She called, „ARN, how far is it still?“ The wolf man answered,  „I don't know it. At our last meeting the pit master expected me in direct proximity. But be sure, we are already very far from the lug, by which we came in. I know no kind of progressive movement, which is faster than a lug cart. Even the speedy legs of the forest people cannot keep up with the unicorns.“
