On Crow Ridge, Azog bellowed orders while surveying the situation.
Behind him, two large banners and a horn coordinated to broadcast his command.
The previously silent burrows suddenly echoed with a rumbling noise.
From each burrow emerged a terrifying creature.
These creatures resembled Ogres, but each stood at least ten meters tall.
The tunnels excavated by the Earth-Swallowing Giant Worm had diameters of over ten meters, but these creatures essentially filled them as they emerged.
On the war beasts' backs were mounted catapults, operated by a few Beastmen standing on platforms behind the beasts.
With the mechanical grinding of 'Kara La', the war beasts lowered their bodies, limbs braced against the ground.
Then, with a "boom", the catapult hurled a massive stone weighing several tons into the distance.
