There were five seige towers in total. The vampiric archers fired off huge volleys of flaming arrows, which destroyed one of the seige towers, and set another one ablaze. The enemy soldiers in the first tower were killed when it fell into the ranks of the army on the ground, but the soldiers who were in the second tower jumped to their deaths rather than be burned in the fire. The king's archers managed to take down the third tower, but the fourth and the fifth tower made it successfully to the wall, and whole scores of enemy soldiers poured out onto the ramparts, where they engaged the white armoured guards and king's soldiers. The portion of the wall defended by the Order's knights was still unapproachable, so they left the units of archers there to defend it, and the knights split themselves up and headed to the sites of the two landed seige towers. I joined the Order's knights as they charged with swords drawn into a group of the enemy soldiers, and the fighting around me became intense. Enemy soldiers with swords and maces coated in the vampire killing metal were cutting down or beating aside the knights, which fueld me and my fellow knights with anger, which in turn made us fight harder. Using my two blades, I cut down a soldier with a mace, but he was quickly replaced by a soldier with a sword, who looked angry. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly in two hands and swung level with my waist, and I blocked the blow easily with the stolen blade. I brought my black bladed sword up and crashing down upon his torso, cutting deep into his flesh and pouring blood onto the ramparts. I wrenched the sword blade free as he fell, and turned my attention back to the enemy soldiers. The fighting continued to rage for what seemed like hours, but the knights and king's soldiers eventually beat back the enemy attackers, and fought them off as quickly as they came up the seige towers. We were extremely successful, and killed more troops than we lost as they continued to come up the seige towers to the wall. The explosive spheres still crashed down around us, and one of them, probably by accident, hit one of the seige towers on the wall and instantly destroyed it, killing the soldiers within it. The tower then fell on its side into the second tower on the wall, and both fell to the ground, packed with dead soldiers. I shouted an angry cry at the soldiers below, and they crused angrily at us, and a few even threatened that they would find me and kill me. I laughed off the threat and moved on to the next fight, which was between the king's soldiers, the Order's knights and a whole score of men who had managed to get onto the ramparts. When I joined the Order's knights and the king's soldiers, we turned the tide on the score of enemy soldiers, and killed them all. Afterwards there was no movement from the enemy, and they pulled back just out of our archers' range, possibly to regroup and come up with a better plan. I wiped the blades of my swords clean of blood and put my black bladed sword into its sheath. I shoved the stolen sword through my belt and watched. Dawn was drawing close, and I knew I'd have to rest.
