Chapter 127: Wall Walk
Princess Alexis nodded politely at Dominic, but he could see the hidden shock in her expression. Getting a sniper that close was no small feat.
"Shall we continue?" She asked, with an exaggerated look of disgust at the deceased sniper.
They walked away just as the Dagos Artillery began to hammer into the wall around them.
Dominic kept the barrier active, just large enough to protect their group from artillery, but none of the shots were close enough to threaten them directly, and the Princess walked calmly through the attack as the Natural Sons and city guard archers took cover.
Beside her, Marquis Burton was doing a much worse job of pretending not to be terrified.
"Are you sure that this is a good idea? We should take cover during an assault." The Marquis muttered.
"No, we should be clearly visible leading our troops during an assault. Relax, we’re safer than you think. From that range, the cannons will be off by up to twenty metres of their target. See how half of the shots are hitting the ground before even reaching the wall?
If something actually comes for us, it will be pure luck, and we have a barrier for that." Princess Alexis informed him.
When they reached the centre of the wall, horns sounded in the distance, and the Dagos Army rose up out of the trenches to charge across no-man’s land toward the city walls.
