them.
Close now. The khaganate’s army had
pushed closer and closer to besieged Orynth,
flaming and shattered. If they could continue
to hold their advantage, they might very well
break them against the walls, as they had
destroyed Morath’s legion in Anielle.
They had to act swiftly, though. The enemy
swarmed both city gates, determined to break
in. The southern gate held, the siege towers
that had been attacking it moments ago now in
ruins.
But the western gate—it would not remain
sealed for long.
Salkhi rising up from the melee to catch
his breath, Nesryn dared to gauge how many
rukhin still flew. Despite the Crochans and
rebel Ironteeth, they were outnumbered, but
the rukhin were fresh. Ready and eager for
battle.
