The ships approached the harbor and opened fire on it from cannons. They wanted to land their troops on the shore, but the harbor's cannons opened the fire back.
The Bee Empire's dragons that might have still stayed anywhere near the Vardish ships retreated even farther away, fleeing from the loud cannon shots and the flying projectiles.
For a while, the fate of the harbor was undetermined. Everything depended on the humans at this moment… And to my joy, they didn't let me down.
(When I read up to this part of the report, I almost jumped off my seat in relief and excitement; reading reports like these made me wish badly that I was there to watch the battle with my own eyes instead of giving orders and imagining the events that happened.)
