Chapter 352: 352
After repelling the first attack, repairs are being done on the broken parts in preparation for the next attack .
Those who didn’t participate in the fighting worked through the night .
「The outside is damaged considerably too…… though not much can be done . 」
Myla’s pitfall and sandbag reinforcement have been used up in the first attack .
「A few defense weapons can be fixed…… but we’re going to have less in the next battle . 」
A rather large amount of ballistae and our already limited number of cannons have broken down .
「Can the ones mounted in the east and north be taken off and carried?」
The defense weapons are installed in all directions to protect the city .
Work has been done to securely fix them in place on top of the walls so moving them would require dismantling, transporting the pieces down from the wall and then building up the weapon again at the desired location .
Doing that after an attack might be considered foolish .
Realistically speaking, the enemy should be focusing on the west and south gate which they’ve done damage to while avoiding the unharmed north gate and east gate where reinforcements are likely to arrive .
「That would be dangerous . 」
Leopolt, when did he get here?
「The enemy has performed a frontal attack to confirm how fortified the city is . If the enemy commander is not a complete idiot, he would determine that forcing their way through would result in heavy casualties and time lost . 」
「Well, the enemy’s goal is ultimately Tortoent, so it can’t really be called a success if they wear themselves out in the process of bringing down this city . 」
Leopolt tells me I’m correct in thinking so .
Is he my teacher now?
「Therefore it’s possible they use a trick in their next attack . In order to maintain our ability to defend, it’s better to keep the equipment where they are now . 」
「Alright . Let’s do that then . 」
I’m not going to argue with Leopolt over military tactics .
A woman isn’t involved, besides it’s smarter to listen to him .
That was when Myla spoke up .
