Standing behind the parapets of the tower, we all looked over the gathering army of the Western Kingdoms, the various troops readying their weapons and getting into formation.
Seeing that, Nirinia let out a wry chuckle as she said "Alright, they're preparing for another scouting charge; the rabble is going to poke and prod at the castle to find the weak spots, so girls, hold back a little. If we show our hand too early, they'll avoid sending a Praetor Squad this way, which will apply more pressure to the other parts of the fortress. Leone, Kat, keep your spells subdued. Jahi, Anput, I hope you know how to use a bow."
We all nodded, before Nirinia kicked open a chest that she had hoisted up the tower, revealing three simple longbows and a mountain of arrows.
Handing them out, the three women all tested their draw weight and strength, before they began to gather some arrows for themselves.
