227 - Insult and Assault

Plotline: Main

Type: Social

"When was their last attack?" I asked Kan Tsuo, a spearwoman and the person our sergeant had told me to direct all my questions to.

She blinked. "Just before harvest week. Three days prior, this one thinks. So... two weeks and four days ago." <1>

I sighed, resting my chin on a crenelation. "It doesn't look like they have many siege engines." I said.

"Not many of the larger ones, no. But those things that look like large crossbows, those can fire over the wall."
