If needed to pull back into the upper city, leaving the bay alone, but too booby trap and evacuate the lower city. The general wants to flee, but G knows that they will need the boats to defend against the Navy that Yulwie warned him about.

However, she just decides to speak with G to tell him that their situation is hopeless that the Magnus K who broke the second law has formed an army of eaters that follow his will. She tells them that she envy their lives. She has felt no pain or pleasure in a long time ever since eating her mother to become what she is.

G stands on the wall speaking with the mercenary captain, asks him to hold as long as possible

Men spill through the breach to be rebuffed by the cities defense this time they think they can last maybe another week, but not more reinforcements aren’t coming they are doomed and everyone knows it.

G speaks with his prisoner the eater she is being tortured, but feels no pain cuts spilled no blood like a week old corpse or a pile of meat on a butcher block. She is nowhere close to confessing.

Z speaks to F calling her devil blood and asking if she knows what she has signed up for. She replies why should I prefer one liar’s word to another. All other breath is wasted.
Z & B speak a little more about the eaters led by K and that he must be stopped

The war in dog Esta has gone on for 10 days. The wall is starting to crumble. The pit is starting to fill a breached has formed with another on the way.

Threetrees sets a grueling pace, atleast from west and laditla’s perspective. Pike, Cathil, and the northerners see no issues with it. West is freezing from giving L his jacket he learns pike fought with him and Glotka in the war. Pike remembers him and says P looked different back then. W tries to find comfort in speaking with C, but she is much harder than he realized she is also not pikes daughter.

He reflects that he has never done a selfless act in his whole life while looking down on the group he is tracking with they have all done far more for him than the reverse

Jazel wakes in agony. Tongue swollen, he tries to understand the broken topography of his mouth. L9 tells him he was hit in the face with a mace, then again in the leg and arm before Q smashed the man’s head in with a frying pan.

His jaw, arm, and leg is broken and a few teeth smashed out. He pity’s himself for a while but then begins to show signs of growth. He is still worried for his looks but thanks L9

V confronts him about her not being in the sell. He lies to her but she sees through it begging to atleast tell Sult the same story. She seems afraid.

G visits the medic tent and finds he feels no guilt or disgust at the screaming, mutilated men. This was not his war he just helped build the defenses.

What happened with the Eater?

The next wave has begun, the mercenary captain is proving his worth, screaming orders like a mad man. They shoot arrows and throw molitovs at the approaching foot soldiers. They are will be able to hold for a while but to what end. And how long can the captain be trusted before he flips sides again

G had told Sult that he killed the queen of the merchants but this was a lie. He instead let her go on a boat.

Glotka overlooks a scarred battlefield from the ramparts of the dogasta wall. His defenses have done there jobs up to this point but they are starting to show signs of wear. The moat is filling with bodies.
Gurkish catapults enter the fight destroying large chunks of the wall. They watch boulders sink through the air silently and painfully slow, growing larger as the approach before the defenning impact and screams
