But this was promising to be a harder task than I hoped.
The scout Commandos have already sneaked into the castle and brought information about people in it and the layout of the place. Now I discussed it with the war council of Bloodimina, Gresch, and a few other human and bee officers watching from the side in case their advice was needed.
With the Vardish army that attacked earlier reached the castle, its garrison reached approximately 100 thousand people. It was smaller than our numbers, but they had fortifications on their side—a European-style star fort, built to resist enemy fire, although only Vardish people around here had siege-grade firearms.
Dozens of cannons were mounted on castle Soneraht's walls, and besides them were more old-school defenses like cauldrons for boiling water.
I expected the cauldrons, but I actually thought they would be full of oil. But it made sense—water was much cheaper and scalded people just the same!
