The villagers had been busy during the night. They'd used their mining tools to dig a small ditch around the town, two metres wide, one deep. They'd put the dirt they'd dug up into an earth bank behind the ditch, so from the bottom of the ditch one would have to climb two metres to get onto the ridge. Several pieces of wood had been put in place to reinforce the earth bank where necessary. They had hidden fifteen scorpios in the houses around the village, which could fire when the enemy was in range. There was one ballista pointed at the enemy army.

Some of the villagers had donned armour and weapons, becoming heavy infantry. They had segmented armour, a large shield, and a shortsword. They were kneeling on the earth bank, raising their shields.

Ivarstead declined Rodericks offer. They bought 4 ballistae, pointing them down the length of the bridge, 25 scorpios in the houses around the bridge, and one catapult. It was aimed precisely at the bridge.

Adalv ordered his army to stay back. He used his ballistae to target the enemy catapults, using his superior range to avoid being attacked.
