The hundred-man squad led by Kaler was the first to be attacked, and the impact they suffered was the fiercest.
The winter clouds hung low, like a heavy leaden plate, pressing down on people until they could barely breathe.
Behind the palisade breastworks, Kaler held an exquisite pipe, puffing away.
He had found this pipe on a noble war prisoner, and the pouch of tobacco it came with had lasted him until now.
Exhaling a cloud-like puff of smoke, Kaler calmly watched the enemy troops advancing ahead.
Because it was a positional battle relying on the camp, Victor did not organize the formation in the manner of a large field battle rank.
Instead, it was organized into a hundred-man squad, consisting of 20 Holy Gunmen and 80 Long Spearmen/Axe Gunmen/Long Halberdiers.
Victor himself and another highly esteemed Captain Bai each led a firefighting team.
This configuration was because they were defending small positions, where large formations were not practical.
