The Atmorans have now besieged Pelargir. They are using a combination of ballistae to attack the archers on the walls and catapults to fling iron spheres filled with gunpowder into the city. Also, they are attacking the walls directly with siege towers. After giving the city a pummeling they plan to use the explosive shot to destroy the gate, then wipe out the diminished defenders, then spare those who bow to the Empire and put those who do not to work in their new army of cannon fodder- something they believe will be necessary if they are to take the greatest fortress of Man.
