Furious, he shouted, "They don't need to sacrifice themselves! The Mystic Army is leading the siege! We're just supporting them. Even if you're here to help me, you could have them load stones instead of sending them to their deaths!"

Michael no longer cared about the chaos, and commanded, "Mystic Army, up the ladders! If anyone's not part of our unit, kick them down!"

The Mystic Army, initially stunned, quickly regained their composure. They began climbing the ladders again, pulling down or kicking off anyone not wearing Mystic Army armor. People continued to fall, but they at least had a chance to survive without being speared.

Seeing the situation coming under control, Barrett shoved Aurora aside. "Go cry somewhere else!"

He rushed to the catapults, and instructed, "Keep loading the stones! Keep firing!"

Aurora stood and wiped away her tears, her expression hardening. She ordered her soldiers to fall back, waiting for the city to be breached so they could rush in.
