Chapter 96: Dragon Slayer 1
On the eastern wall, Zarian used his Spectral Spider Network +1 to watch the Rumble Psion move to her mostly solo position. He could sense everything through the multiple spiders staged in the area or by observing through Naomi herself, granting him the ultimate vicarious view.
Notably, one of the changes to the fortifications from last night were platforms on the ramparts that hung past the wall’s edge. That way, it was easier to attack enemies scrambling up the walls from the sides while others attacked from directly above.
The militant and dynamic black woman stood on one of those platforms. She overlooked two thousand kobolds sweeping around to outflank the Ride-or-Die Guild from the east. Among the kobolds’ numbers, there was a disproportionate amount in the Level 40s with unique classes.
Just like the main force barreling down from the north, the eastern attackers used wooden bridges laid over the ditches to make their way across quickly. Seeing Naomi by herself, the leading kobolds pointed up and laughed at her.
“Is that a human woman?” snarled a kobold in the Level 30s. “It is! It is! Get up the wall and get her! We will make her scream!”
“Get her! Get her! Get her!” chanted the kobolds in the Level 20s.
“Make her scream! Make her scream!” chanted more of the lower kobolds.
Zarian felt sparks of Naomi’s disgust resonate through her and slightly into him. But only for a brief moment. Then all that remained was a cool and calculated rage, followed by a strong current of malicious intent.
Unfortunately for the kobolds, Naomi had the right armaments staged for her to respond with violence instead of words.
