(Oh, I meant to say catapults. Sorry. I'll edit after I post this post.)

23rd of Second Seed

The army was stationed on a barren hill not far from Verkarth Hills, with a vantage point being higher than Varkarth itself. The catapults were within range, while the archers were not so, especially not the lower-ground Varkarth.

"Their shoddy fence can be taken with the catapults. With proper aiming, we could take the guardhouse out with a bit of the wall at the same time. The forces will move in testudo formation to avoid archer damage. If possible, accept any surrenders, but be sure to disarm the surrendering. Avoid civilian casualties," the commander said with his strategists.

"This one thinks it is unwise, to strike without warning. Could we not prompt a peaceful surrender, instead?"

"What, you mean like in S'ren-ja? Half of the attacking force was lost. We will not have that same mistake here."

"We have even less soldiers this time around," another strategist prompted.

"Indeed, but we have supporting fire from the catapults. If all else fails, we can bombard the Lord's house with catapult fire. After he's gone, the place would fall into disarray, and we could sweep in and clean house."

"As you wish, sir. Your soldiers await your speech."

The commander went out to the army, which was standing prepared for battle.

"Khajiit of Khajazhir. Today, we will take Varkarth Hills for our Honorable Mane. Let there be no mistake. No failure like in S'ren-ja. We are strong and mighty! Ahzirr trajijazeri!"

"Ahzirr durrarriss!"

With this, the army started to move, in testudo formation, towards Varkarth. The catapults were readied, but did not fire yet.
