Kapitel 334: Chapter 95

Maxi stared at Richard Breston in horror. "Are you saying… those soldiers were used as cannon fodder to assess the monsters' attack range?"

"Did you think we would order an all-out assault without first understanding the strength of the enemy's defenses?" Breston drawled, leaning back in his chair. "That knowledge is crucial before we dive in, hence the experiment."

Maxi hugged herself as a chill ran down her spine. The man seemed to regard the soldiers as nothing but pawns on a chessboard.

"This siege is going to be more troublesome than we thought," Breston added apathetically. "The front and west walls are loaded with catapults and crossbows. The east wall is relatively weak, but access is limited by a steep valley. Positioning our siege weapons there is out of the question. And even if, by some miracle, we were able to get close enough, our weapons would be razed if we don't find a solution for those blasted flaming arrows."
