Trebuchet Team 6

[PraiseTheLord 868]

Spoiler

 

Preparation

At first it was only Snow Elves, Aelthir and the rest prepared for the incoming Orenian forces.

They sat in the hall, drinking and eating, laughter echoeing throughout the cold fortress.

 

Soon, races from around Axios arrived. Wraiths, Uruk, Man, Wood Elves and Snow elves all stood under one roof.

Steadily, the laughter subdued as the brothers and sisters received their Blades, they knew what they would face.

But fear did not fill their hearts, nor would anger.

 

 

Good men, They are.

As the captains shouted Orders to the men who would fight on the front lines,

A select few would be chosen to handle the machines known as Trebuchets.

 

8 teams, selected my Althin Drakon and Aelthir Tundrak, would start their move up the keep...

 

 

Storm of the Orenian Horde

The war horns awakened Trebuchet Team 6.

They hurried to fetch the Mallets, ammunition and all that was needed.

Darid Tunnelsmasher, Captain of the team, smiled at Turkurz'Raguk and Althin.

The floor shook, they all looked over the sides of the Tower, furrowing their brows at the Army.

They we're like Bugs, Many, yet under control of the same mind. The same vision.

 

 

All together, They started working on the Trebuchet, Darid hitting Mallets, Turkurz aiming and Althin loading ammunition.

Together, They were a team to be reckoned with, sending out projectiles with deadly accuracy and at an alarming speed.

 

Destroying all Oren's siege weapons, Slowly but surely the other teams fell.

The keep was breached, and the men started losing hope, some surrendering, but being refused under savage Orenian blades.

 

Trebuchet Team 6 kept on with fire, aiming at the Orenian camps.

 

End of the Siege

For one day they fought, blood of Orenians, Wood elves, dwarves and Snow elves were spilled.

And to their Fear, Trebuchet 6 Broke down, unsheathing their bows, Trebuchet team 6 Marched to the very top of the Castle,

unleashing a volley of Arrows towards the enemy.

 

They had expected backup, but nae.

They was merely 4 Fighters on the Fenn side left, the rest succumbing to their injuries or simply unconscious.

They knew this was where their last stand would be.

 

"It wuz ah honour, bruddaz." Turkurz said, throwing the Bow to the side as he unstrapped his axe.

"I can agree on that!" Althin noted.

"As ca' Oi!" Darid agreed as the Orenians stormed to the ladders.

 

Turkurz nodded with joy, running forth to unleash a vicious assault on the Kharajyr that led the Lines,

Holding them back whilst the other two readied their bows.

Falling to his knees, Turkurz gave one last grin to the Team, before falling over.

 

The last two Stood there as the Troops surrounded them, and they would soon join Turkurz on the ground.

 

Thank the Monks

Waking up at the Monks, Turkurz parted his way. Soon news of the brave team would spread through the Fenn ranks, and even further

Into Orenian taverns.

 

Trebuchet team 6 would not be forgotten.
