Nie Yan established a principle: avoid defending at all costs. If the Skeleton Legion can be fought, then fight them and wear them down as much as possible; but if they press the attack, retreat.
This strategy eased the pressure on the Asskickers United players. Watching the skeletons shuffling forward at a snail's pace, it was clear that their movement was excruciatingly slow. As long as they weren't surrounded, what was there to fear about escaping?
Swarms of skeletons had already reached about three hundred yards from the city walls.
"Ironclad Trebuchets, attack!" Nie Yan shouted, and the six or seven dozen trebuchets that had long been prepped within the walls launched their payloads.
Countless iron projectiles whistled past the city walls, bombarding the skeletal army in the distance.
Bang, bang, bang—the ground erupted with icy explosions, and the Skeleton Legion was instantly thrown into chaos.
