Chapter 96: A King and his General (9)

I became speechless for a moment. I was bewildered. Catapults are hard to aim even when you have a clear view. If you launch boulders anyway, then they’ll get swallowed by the darkness and the fog and you won’t be able to confirm whether they hit anything or not. I couldn’t understand the enemy’s thought process.
“In the middle of the night? They do not even have a clear view of us. Have any of our forces been injured by this attack?”
Does the imperial army perhaps have a way to confirm where their shots land? If so, then that would turn this situation around completely. This would mean our enemy could pelt us freely since we have no way to attack their siege equipment. We had set up our encampment here in preparation of a cavalry charge, but that might end up being pointless as we run away in order to avoid the projectiles…….
General Zepar got rid of my concerns.
– Currently, all of our forces in the right wing are unharmed. All forces, do not lower your guard and be prepared.
Afterward, General Zepar continued to tell us over and over again to not lower our guards and to not break formation. He must’ve come to the conclusion that the enemy was trying to make us panic by using catapults. Well, I agreed. I couldn’t think of any other intentions the enemy could have had.
Laura thought differently. She spoke while twirling her blonde hair.
“There is no way they would utilize catapults without any clear intentions.”
