章 213: Chapter 89 Assault_3

The gong was the signal that Andre had made it.

The still-living Venetian soldiers and Herders carried Winters and quickly withdrew from the artillery bastion. The enemy inside the bastion, uncertain of what was real, dared not pursue.

Adding the three from Bard's side and the five from Andre's, tonight Winters had lost twenty-three men under his command, half of his force.
