The artillery bombardment of the city walls had not ceased since the deployment of the heavy cannons. It goes without saying that this occurred during daytime, but even at night, the eight artillery units outside the city would sporadically fire a few rounds at the walls.
This relentless pounding day and night was not only destroying the walls but also intended to break the spirit of the defenders, preventing the Tanilians from resting.
The walls were on the verge of collapse; each bombardment could signal the beginning of Vineta's general assault, leaving everyone inside Tachi, civilians and soldiers alike, on edge.
However, there was a side effect to this tactic: almost all of Vineta's Spellcaster officers were also suffering from nervous exhaustion due to the nighttime bombings.
