"Captain Ultrech," Heila said, turning back to the Iron-Tusked captain who had volunteered to deal with the tower. "Can you topple the tower without the men inside ringing the bell?"
"My men aren't slow," he said as he thumped a fist against the thick, heavy, steel breastplate that covered his chest. Unlike the Black Wolf Brigade who wore light armor and fought as skirmishers, the men of the Iron Tusk Clan were heavily armored foot soldiers who carried large axes to fell anything in their path. Despite the weight of their arms and armor, however, they could charge with amazing speed when the situation called for it.
"We aren't slow, but we aren't fast enough to breach a tower and kill its sentries before they can even ring a bell," he admitted reluctantly. "And we'll make quite a racket just trying."
