These earthen walls are little more than a joke—in reality, a cage for them," Lance said confidently. Surely, they didn't actually think the gunsmiths he brought back from Totnes were idle? His firearms strategy had been advancing, and all he needed was to wait for the right moment to unveil its power.
The battle, from beginning to end, actually lasted less than an hour, but the aftermath took up a great deal of time.

"My Lord, aren't you going back?"
"There's another camp that needs to be scouted. Geralt, take command. Boudica, Junia, and I will go ascertain the situation."
