As the first ray of morning light shone upon the battlements of Duolin City, an army brandishing various colored flags also appeared on the main road outside the city.
Unlike those slender, pale-faced new soldiers.
The warriors in this army were generally broad-shouldered and robust, clad in armor, wearing leather boots, and their waists were adorned with glittering steel swords; cavalry accounted for as much as thirty percent.

Once the civilians had filled the moat outside the city, these siege towers could be pushed to the edge of the city walls, aiding the attackers inside in taking control of the battlements.
