The Argonian shrugged. "Word must not have reached this far that we deserted the battle. Though, it might be wise not to leave any evidence of our stay here."

The Quartermaster gestured over to the harbormaster on the pier. "Leaving a trail will let the Imperials find out which way we went."

"Roderon Pirates?" The Iron Blood didn't seem to know the name.

"They're the ones that Bjord brought earlier today." Another pirate stated.

Along haired and bearded Nord, spoke up. He was sitting on a end of one of the tables with his feet up and a large mug of mead in his hand. He looked to be in his early 40s, about 6 feet tall and moderately muscled. He was wearing well off clothes, maybe something a wealthy merchant would wear. Considering that he was a pirate, he probably stole it from a merchant. "I am Captain Aevar. What do you want, Breton?"

(Right, so this is the current army composition: 55 in the western front - 30 of whom are archers, 11 of them wounded, 15 mages and 10 warriors; 20 warriors in the southern front.)

Yagrenac's bolt flew at the tower and smashed into the Redguard ballista, damaging it.

Saryat cursed after the fact, as his ballista was now unable to fire. Angrily he yelled. "Remove that round and fix it!"

The artillery team hurried to fix the ballista.

Saryat heard the footsteps coming up the stairs and turned in time to see the mind-controlled archer reaching the top of the tower. "What's the matter?!" He saw that the archer was in a hurry so he figured that something urgent had happened.

This time, the pirates were lucky and managed to kill 10 of the western archers with their volley.

It would take a few minutes to heal the wounded pirates, since they were in quite serious condition.

The remaining Redguard archers fired at the pirates. 5 mages were killed by the arrows, while 2 Bonemask archers were put down, one getting shot clean through the head.

--

The southern archers fired their flame arrows into the field, lighting it up and allowing them to spot the 20 pirates that were trying to head for that gate.

"Reload and fire at will!" The head southern archer ordered to the others as he notched an arrow himself.

--

In the Fort's courtyard, 15 Redguards headed to the stables to mount up.

Corporal Mirisa took charge. "Ready up men, we need to sully out to meet these pirates on the field!" She mounted her own horse and the others took theirs.

(165 Redguards remaining, 5 of whom are injured. 30 archers on the western wall, 5 of them injured. 30 archers on the sourthern wall. 5 artillery workers on the northwestern tower, including Saryat. 15 cavalry in the courtyard.)
