The players watched from the back line trying to catch up with the rest of the army that was either getting in range with their siege weapons or making a push against the walls. Even Mark who had been with Faro was trying to catch up as he like the other players had dismounted trying to get a better a look at the siege weapons only to get left behind when the army suddenly moved in unison without them.

As the players were all making a mad dash to catch up they watched as the army split up into the original five divisions to attack the wall with their new weapons from five different directions West, Southwest, South, Southeast and finally east. They saw Greco get his siege weapon first allowing them to see what it actually did as the stats appeared before each player.

hollack flower pad- siege weapon- siege weapon type: flight launch pad- description: a giant flower with a yellow center and giant pink petals spreading from around it. At its base was a series of roots to allow it to move

- special trait- petal glider: this weapon will create from its giant petals a glider in the shape of a butterfly that can be ridden into battle by anyone that is standing atop the pad when the glider forms as well as being loyal to the commander in charge of the weapon. The glider comes equipped with special pollen that forms into a humming bird and launches itself into the undead going into the lungs or nostrils of the undead before exploding.

Finally he can do what he was good at riding out and destroy all those who dared threatened the Detreon beneath his hooves. Granted this time he was in there air and not on the ground with his usual noble steed. So he couldn't crush them underfoot but the new petal gliders he and his men had been gifted came with a rather deadly delivery that still come from above. So Greco thought that the thought was still valid.

Greco lead his men in a charge from the west as one by one his men had gained the power of flight with their petal gliders gifted by his hollack flower pad. For a time they merely waited siting atop their strange new mounts as they flapped like butterflys to gain altitude and once Greco and his men had enough height over the walls they began their runs charging as they would have on their steeds towards the hands of Carthax unleashing hundreds of humming pollen missiles that went straight for any gapes in the fleshy parts of walls to cause as much damage as possible.

Greco was a bit at odds with this new method of attack as he was charging at the enemy as he should. For Greco had always seen himself as a calvary Commander but he was disappointed that he could not feel his enemies being crushed underfoot nor engage any worthy opponent with his sythe as was the honorable thing to do. Though Greco knew his duty and brought his men around for another charge that those who were more familiar with air combat would call a strafing run.

To the south a man watched the hands of Carthax as it reacted to Greco's strafing by pulling more flesh to the front of its structure to try and defend itself better from the sudden onslaught especially as the winter red bulls added their berry birds to the mix of fire. Once Nero was done observing the hands of Carthax he begun to call out to his war machine where it should strike.

Soon enough Nero had gathered quite the audience of players who weren't really sure what to do with themselves as the commanders hadn't given them orders s they as they got closer and began to wonder the back lines watching the siege weapons as they began to get work. So now that Nero's weapon was getting ready to fire the eyes of the players were soon on it and soon it's stats were revealed.

Hemlock needle launcher-siege weapon- siege weapon type: missile launcher- description:a giant tree with giant branches zigzagging at the top of it forming a strange hexagonal shape with multiple needle like leaves the size of a human arm stick off the branches. At its base were two wooden wheels- special trait- hemlock missle: the tree launches a giant leaf missle that takes the shape of one giant root as the main body with needle like leaves sticking out to either side. Once this missle lands it'll shoot out its needle like leaves and release a deadly gas that stabbed any with a thousand of microscopic needles.

Soon under Nero's direction a barrage of hemlock missiles were flying with pinpoint accuracy to certain points in the wall that had become vulnerable as the hands of Carthax shifted material within itself to defend itself. This allowed the hemlock missiles to penetrate deeply and for the gas they held to began to tear into the wall. Soon enough small gaps in the upper part of the wall were opened up from the combined barrage of Nero and Greco as they tore into the wall with their combined fire power. With help from the winter red bulls.

Just as planned Nero thought watching his hemlock missiles tear into the structural weak points that were starting to show. Always aim for your opponent weaknesses and if he doesn't have one make it. This had been Nero's war philosophy and he had never led him astray. So he kept in his mind as he continued to call out targets for his hemlock missle launcher.

Though the gaps Nero was using were only in the upper parts of the wall. The wall sadly for Detreon's army still held at the base preventing troops from simply charging through a giant hole in the wall. Though that might change as the players watched Retero make his move against the wall from the Southwest..

He and his man were slowly advancing with their strange flower wall in front of them protecting them from the hands of Carthax defences as it seemed to be panicking as it ramped up the number of boulders it threw as well as began to grow tentacles made of loose flesh to try and incerept all the incoming fire it was taking.

A few players were drawn to Retero disciplined march towards the wall and began to scan the commander weapon. Wondering why he was pushing it up with him towards the wall.

Oriole wall - siege weapon- siege weapon type: mobile wall- description: It is a small wooden wall slightly taller than a Detreon with wooden wheels and interlocking golden flower at its front- special trait- fool's nectar: this wall's series of interlock flowers are made out of sturdy material providing added protection to its base wall. the interlocking flowers also shoot a golden nectar that causes any that hit by it to bloat up and explode into a shower of fresh golden flowers.

The men are handling the short march well Retero thought as he kept a carefully eye on his men as they made their move on the wall's making sure that the men were keeping together as they kept moving the Oriole wall towards the hands of Carthax. Eventually they reached the right distance and soon the Oriole wall flower began to launch the fool's nector causing parts of the wall to bloat up and explode into a shower of fresh flowers

" Hmmm" Retero said as he continued to monitor his men making sure they were handing the kickback that happened when the flowers shot the nectar at maximum range as well as the stream of medium rocks being thrown at them as it seemed the fotress lost its bigger boulders or the wall was focusing them elsewhere. He was also montoring the damage they were doing to the wall with the fool's nector. He began to think as they seem to be making decent progress about how he was going to have to start training his men in how to incorporate the Oriole wall into their formations once this siege is finally over.

As Retero and his men were making their march to the hands of Carthax. Commander Tako's siege weapon was glowing causing the players nearby to turn to it and see what it would do as the stats window for it appeared before them.

The golden cloud - siege weapon- siege weapon type: orbital canon- description: it was giant tree that has large golden leaf stalks branching out from it with large golden peas in all the stalks

- special trait- pea acid strike: the stalks on the tree can aim upward and fire the pea inside when it reaches a certain height it will explode into a golden acid shower burning through anything below it made of flesh.

Tako upon seeing that the golden cloud was ready showed his usual dark malicious smile and aimed his war machine at the Eastern part of the wall as that was what was clearly in front of him. He then watched with a malicious laugh breaking out from him and spreading through his men as they watched part of the wall dissolve from the golden acid.

" That's right you bastards, melt into nothing like you deserve." Tako said his vindictive face on full display for all to see as his division formed a protective circle to make sure no one interfered with golden cloud firing. Though many of the players near them had been disturbed by Tako not that he cared.

So thourly disturbed by Tako the nearby players still with no orders and not wanting to get in the way of the divisions as they performed their maneuvers turned to Faro as his weapon began to move. The weapons states become clear to them as they focused on it.

Shrub beast- siege weapon- siege weapon type: batting ram- description: a narrow shrub tree that is huge and walks in a series of small roots that moved slowly - special trait- shrub hydra : once the siege weapon has set itself into the ground it will began to grow dozen of snake heads that will immediately attack the nearest enemy position. Any head that is destroyed will grow back if it destroyed so long as it's based remains.

The players watched in surprise at Faro's weapon as they read just how dangerous it was and to prove this the shrub beast planted itself and proceeded to activate shrub Hydra. Soon enough the the tree like shrub grew dozens of huge plants based serpents that proceeded to slam into the hands of Carthax.

The hands of Carthax responded immediately to this new threat as it grew dozens of worm like creatures made out of skin and teeth to fight of Faro's shrub beast that was tearing into it from the South East.

"That it that's all you got? you damn abomination, your on your last legs aren't yea. Won't be long before you collapse and we push on through to the next part ain't that right lads." Faro's shouted out getting his men riled up and from what the players had seen he was right. The walls was pulling everything it has to defend itself from five different directions and it has no reinforcements from further in. It looked like soon enough the damage would be to much and the hands of Carthax would collapse in on themselves.

" Well Robert it looks like your little girl's presents have put her army on the winning team." Simon said with a static filled voice as he watched a powerful undead get demolished from Robert's workshop monitors.

" What wait!?" Robert startled out wondering what Simon was on about when he looked to the monitor and away from the work on the expansion. He saw an army of Detreon tearing away at a powerful undead construct by the name of the hands of Carthax with several siege weapons designed by Detrei. This surprised Robert but he supposed with so many players doing what they wanted when it came to making plant based weaponry she had easy access to inspiration.

" Yes Robert looks like your darling Detrei caused quite the upset with those toys of her's." Simon said with his usual excited static filled voice no dought happy about the ratings that having such a battle would get for his program.

" Yes I guess she has. Though I don't think she thought about the problem with the army itself." Robert said noticing a problem as he took a closer look at the battfield from the monitor.

Simon was confused about what he was talking about looking at what Robert had focused the monitor on and then coming to the same realization. " Oh it's looks like theirs going to be a huge upset in a minute." Simon said excited because upsets were usually good for ratings.

" Yes it looks like their is I just hope it isn't too bad for everybody involved." Robert said still not quiet happy that his creations was getting better at killing each other. Simon noticed Roberts unhappy looked and could guess his thoughts on the matter.

" Well Robert it looks everything is in hand for right now how about you get back to laying the final touches on those expansions and I'll watch the battle and tell you about any upsets alright." Simon said in a static voice. Robert merely nodded and went back to what he was doing well Simon went back to the monitor. " Well let see if the upset really will occur in the eleventh hour shall we folks." Simon said a excited static filling the room as he watched the battle continue to unfold on the monitor.
