Sieging the Base

After getting the news of Steve encountering an ambush, the Banto troops that had stayed behind to guard the base did not dare to hesitate. They would rather believe the news and set off immediately. As a precaution, they left behind nearly eight hundred troops to guard the base.

Eight hundred troops was considered an incredibly small number in the frontlines of a war or a large city, not worthy of mention. But in the remote Wissen Town, they were already a relatively powerful force. Even if the Rossi soldiers launched a surprise attack against the base, they might not even breach the base without losing all their numbers.

The simple yet sturdy wooden wall and tall towers for archers, coupled with the hidden scouts and active patrol squad all allowed the Banto soldiers left behind to sleep peacefully. No one thought that the Rossi forces would be foolish enough to siege the base. All of them went to sleep, each more deeply than the next.
