With both their levies raised they had a total of 1000 soldiers, those many were militiamen and not as well trained as regular soldiers. This was because they had to draft citizens to refill their ranks after they lost men to the bandits. Silgrad Tower, who had taken charge of the alliance, had them wait. Without the assistance of the People's Empire to drive away the bandits, the attacks continue. However, the next attack on Reich Parkeep proves significantly worse than the others. Somehow the bandits have gotten their hands on a catapult, which they utilize in their next attack by launching burning barrels of flin at the town. The barrels explode on impact, spreading liquid fire everywhere. It is a crude but highly effective tactic-- a number of soldiers are killed and many more are injured or burned before the bandits run out of ammunition and are forced to return to wherever they'd come from.

The bandit attacks on Silgrad continue as well. However, these have not escalated past the hit-and-run tactics used previously, although the bandits still prove a threat by raiding supplies and slowly wearing down the soldiers' numbers.
