The Author's POV

Kuzma City was once thought to be impregnable.

Its towering walls were fortified with powerful wards and guarded by legions of fierce demons. But all of that changed when the orcs launched their surprise attack.

At first, the demons were caught off guard.

They had grown complacent in their belief that their city was invincible and started to grow careless when they saw the situation turn in their favor.

They thought victory was within their grasp when... all of a sudden, an army of orcs appeared from out of nowhere, carrying heavy artillery with them.

That was when the situation started to turn.

As the orcs surged forward, their war cries echoing through the streets, the demons quickly rallied to defend their walls.

As soon as the orcs made their initial assault, the demon immediately began to cast spells and shoot arrows at them, using the full extent of their power.

Boom―! Boom―!

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

But the orcs were not deterred.

They charged forward, stepping on their fallen comrades bodies with their weapons raised high, and crashed into the demon defenders.

Clank. Clank. Clank.

The battle was fierce and brutal.

Demons and orcs clashed in the narrow streets, fighting tooth and nail for every inch of ground. The air was thick with the scent of blood and the sound of clashing steel.

Despite their resistance, the demons were slowly being pushed back.

The orcs were simply too numerous, and their strength and ferocity were unmatched. The demons fought with all their might, but it soon became clear that they were fighting a losing battle.

With most of their most powerful members outside of the city, what happened inside was nothing short of a slaughter, with Silug leading the charge and hacking at the demons with unmatchable might.

"Charge! Kill!!"

"Karum! Karum!"

The orcs roared their battle cry, charging forward with renewed vigor. The demons tried to hold their ground, but it was no use. They were outnumbered and outmatched. They fought with all their might, but it was a losing battle.
