A large hole now appeared in the battlements, the gate grew further dented, the tower of Lissy leaned to one side and with a massive stony groan it fell slowly back wards crashing into a part of the city and now leaving an opening into the palace through the western side.
Waxvog and Trel stood on the eastern side and gave the order not to enter, Trel intended to raze the palace. He raised his fist and clenched it as the forest trasnos began to reloading sliding boulders into place and snapping the launchers ready.
Then they were loaded and Trel was ready to open his hand, he raised his fist and would have opened it, but he pulled it back when a horn called out over the war-torn landscape."
