Of course, Fargo also had their archers. But even the sniper Sen failed to kill them, let alone these guys? Before they could make a good shot, they died!
Even if many of the Fargo archers were former marksmen, the Alterans were trained with medieval weapons and many were also provided with crossbows!
Not only that, but there were also Alteran archers above the roofs, so the Fargo guards who had thought the same—would most likely get shot down even before they could settle on a high surface.
One of these archers was Althea herself, among a few others.
They had used Althea's now-destroyed plateaus to get so high up. In contrast to those on the houses' second floors, they were busy clearing those coming from the battlement. They didn't have a good angle of the streets, and their main attacks were those above it.
Most also had some clear shots of the second-floor windows, so that was another reason why Fargo archers got taken down fairly early on.
GO GIRLS!
