The second day since the assault started the demons were still out of range for the archers waiting for a moment to attack and take the city but with the undead that do not rest guarding the walls was making it difficult for them but there was a new problem occurring the griffins rations were not going to last as long as they expected they were almost out and hunger was affecting a few of the griffin soldiers but not many right now.
The demons on the other hand had all the supplies they needed for the assault on the Griffin and more. The demon lord still would not show himself and the demons still surrounded the capital and left no opening for any of them to escape.
For the Griffins, one minute felt like hours as they waited for the demons to make a move and now they were finally doing something. They were changing formations in the front were very large and bulky demons that stood two times taller than the demons behind them.
The undead saw the demons were about to attack and they drew their bows and the rest drew their sword or lifted their weapon over their shoulders and let them rest there. The demons stood there for a few minutes before a horn blow and their charged and the archers fired and a volley of arrow traveled towards the demons many going over the front lines and hit the demons behind the tall one but the ones that hit them penetrate their armor and skin but they kept moving they were just large meat shields for the arrows, and when they reached the walls they knelt down to the 15 feet high wall and more tall demons got on top of them form a staircase of demons the undead swords and spearmen moved up, and readied their weapon and the archers continued to fire arrows at the demons that ran up the staircase of demons but there were too many for them to shoot down and they neared the top of the wall at a fast pace and the spearmen thrusted their spears stabbing many of the demons and those that did not get were now fighting the swordsmen.
The Griffins were now joining the fight as the flew down from the skies and fought demons that were getting on the walls, and many of them lited the demons in the air and dropped them over the army of demons injuring more and more of them but not many died from this tactic.
In the distance griffins could be seen carrying large vases, and dropping them on the demons on the staircase and their broken on top of them and covered the demons in a strange fluid then some of the flying griffin the threw torches on them setting them all on fire and making the demons that made the staircase scream and they all collapsed to the ground making the fires spread to the other demons that were below them the front of the wall a giant bonfire that made the demons back off and the archers started to fire again, and as the arrows went through the fire they started to catch on fire then continued to their target making the fire spread among the retreating demons.
And again the demons were out of range of the archers and held their positions as they looked at the flames that nearly engulfed the front of the walls
Third day
The third day was here it was here and we would see who would succeed would the Griffins hold out long enough for Talion to arrive or would the demons break through their defenses and lay waste to the city.
The walls were holding for now but the demons were trying something new now they had now made wooden shields from a nearby forest and now formed a line the one behind the front lines held their shields above them to prevent arrows or rock from above and the ones in front held their shields in front of them and they marcher forward maintaining their lines.
The archers fired but their arrow but they had no effect on the shields the demons carried and they reached the wall and stood there doing nothing and in the distance, shields were moving and fire and smoke rose from the cracks between the shields.
When the fire reached the gate a fire demon jumped out of the shields and in the archway, the gate was where the archers could not fire, and the fire demons put his hands on the steel gate and the steel started to heat up at an alarming rate and it started to melt at a very slow pace.
The undead on the other side could see the steel gate starting to heat up and readied their weapons. The Griffins and archers continued to fire their arrows and drop large rocks on the shields some arrows making it through the openings between the shields and hot a demon but they still held strong and held up their shields but that did not last long as a few collapsed and archers fired thought the holes and taking out a few demons and their comrades quickly filled in the holes with their shields.
There was now a small hole in the gate and slowly grew with every second. A few archers were trying to get down from the wall so they could shoot through the hole but the walls were crowded by the other undead and they could not move.
The hole in three minutes was twice the size it was before and only big enough for an arm to go through but it was slowly expanding. The hole continued to grow and the demons readied to rush in as soon as it was big enough for them to get through than there was a sound in the distance.

The fire demons stopped and the demons looked towards the direction of the horn and in the distance there was movement and along the horizon, an army lined up on mounts but the demons and griffins could not see them clearly.
