Everyone rested in the cave for the morning as they listened to the reports from the main lines, which were becoming even more dire by the minute. The Frost Giants were not just waiting at their lines, they were working together to launch ice magic, and enchanted boulders at the defenders.
While it was crude, with the strength of Giants operating the mechanisms, the Frost Giant Catapults were proving to be incredibly effective. The ice boulders exploded on impact, causing every bit as much damage as any artillery round, even against armoured targets.
The main lines sounded like they were in the midst of a disaster, and at one point Karl was reasonably certain that he heard Jodi's voice announcing a unit retreat for heavy casualties.
