Perhaps the army of the Niflgaard people is indeed well-trained and resolute.
Among these soldiers, some have managed to regain their resolve after the despairing losses and impending collapse.
A Niflgaard Crossbowman removed the sharp-tipped arrow from the crossbow string and replaced it with a blunt arrow.
This was a non-lethal warning arrow.
The arrowhead had a structure similar to a wind instrument, shaped like a small iron camel.
As the arrow flew rapidly, air passed through the ducts, creating a sharp and distinct sound.
Different warning arrows produced different sounds, used in the army as various commands following the temporary regulations by the pre-battle commanders.
The Niflgaard Crossbowman, though dripping with sweat and his lips pale and trembling, maintained a determined gaze, with a steady hand loading the arrow.
He wore an expression of resolute determination, as if putting his life and death aside.
