The gallant soldiers stood at alert waiting for the 33 sounds, it was the only time they were allowed to attack. On the tower were watchmen who waited patiently for the attacking troop to get closer, they had only sounded the alarm to alert the soldiers of the troops. From a distance approached what was unclear, creatures that walked on two feet, and a long tail that looked like a whip with sharp edges. Soldiers ran to the arsenal as they offloaded weapons that could penetrate the thick skins of the creatures and positioned themselves in areas with clear shots. Thick sweat ran down the faces of young soldiers, civilians who lived within the wall were worried for their safety, Ashar continually encouraged them to remain still
"Stay calm, even though these creatures had ruined our land 32 times, this very 33 would mark our forever victory " Soldiers sang morale songs waiting to test their new weapon, it wasn't yet confirmed the intensity of the havoc it could cause.
A few minutes later, one of the creatures aggressively bounced on the city's main gate. The gate shook but still remained firm on the ground. Just as the creature approached to pounce on it the second time, an arrow targeted at its neck brought it down. It lay helplessly and pant heavily between soft cries. A relief to the soldiers as they perceived the fallen creatures.
"The weapon seems effective," Ashar said and immediately wiped off his tears. He couldn't contain his joy to know his years of labor had pained off.
If you fail this time, we'll have no choice but to send you away the words of his commander resounded in his head. Now that he has a chance to stay, he wouldn't allow any of the creatures to live.
"Launch thousands of this spear on them, allow no one to live, we have failed 32 times so we can have a chance like this, this 33 times will make the extinction of their being " Ashar said as he ordered the shooting.
