I gathered all fifty of us and we marched down on the city. We demanded to have a meeting with the captain with the guard. When he came down he was surprised when we told him our demands. He was flustered and tried to reason with us. "You have fifty people and we have 300 men. You won't win this fight. We appreciate you for what you have don, sir. Please come to your senses and leave." "If you're that confident, meet us in the field. We are a well maintained force. We are aware of our strength. If you want, you could surrender and allow us to take the keep." The captain sighed and then glared at me. "The men and women of Dandelion City will repel you from the walls and defeat you. You are a pretender to the city and everyone will see you for what you are. Good day. If you are foolish to remain here, you will be slaughtered." he snapped before walking away to the city. I turned as well. I walked off and we formed a base camp. An hour later, 100 men sallied forth from the gate. They had maces and clubs. It was clear that they were not taking us seriously.
Based on our position, I sent the full force to meet them. We met them and the fighting began. I hacked and slashed my way through the guards. When I was low health, I backed up and let others fill the gaps. As I got some of my health back, I rejoined and fought. The chimeras and Suzie were also destroying the men. When we routed them, another 100 men came out the gates. We had lost some men, but we had the morale. Our men were only unconscious because they were defeated by non lethal weapons. This next wave had short swords and shields. We all drank a health potion that was bought before hand to bolster our health. We then charged them as well. It was a bloodier conflict. Blows rained down from both sides. We lost 15 men, but we got this wave to rout as well. They only had 10 men left that fled from us. The final wave was the most deadly. 50 men with heavy mail and a metal plate. On the walls, there were sharp shooters that rained down deadly arrows. We drank another health potion and began the charge again.
We lost 20 more men and it was looking pretty bad. I moved over during the fight looked at Reiner. He finished shooting a guard and said "These guard are tearing through us! Are you sure you made a good decision!? We do need to be alive to take the city, Azil." I said "I know. We'll never get past those snipers. Fly up there and take them out. Use your true form if you need to. They sooner they die, the more men we can say won the battle with us." Reiner froze for a second before purring. It's been so long, I almost forgot that was an option. If I ever lose myself to my bloodlust, sent Tybalt and Elis to help you calm me down." He then shifted into a bluejay and flew up to the wall. I had to doge some arrows since I was a prime target. A minute later, we heard a thunderous roar and blood curdling screams. The chimera was charging the archers and devouring them. It mauled, breathed fire and caused chaos. "Keep going men. It's on our side!" I rallied the men. We were able to defeat the remnant of the garrison and take the city. I smiled and lead the cheers.
