Chapter 98: Battle of Bawal Part -3

Envoy Diego's POV

The Portuguese were at a significant disadvantage with only 500 soldiers, split between 250 pikemen and 250 musketeers. However, Envoy Diego had a different plan. He understood that to gain trust and improve the Portuguese reputation, making a significant contribution was crucial. This siege presented a golden opportunity to showcase the superior prowess of the Portuguese, but the lack of soldiers was a pressing concern.

On the top walls of Fort which stood 20 meters high from ground, soldiers are bustling around, setting up defenses, and readying themselves for the next wave of the assault.

The atmosphere is tense, with the smell of burning wood, rotten smell of fallen rebels outside and footsteps of soldiers filled the air. Amidst of this turmoil Envoy Diego, with his small army takes position on the walls. He scans the fortifications, his keen eyes noting something amiss.
