"Outer gates? I did seem to think that I could see a second wall from this distance, but I was unsure," Oliver said. He overlooked the loss of his weapon only barely, choosing to distract himself with something else.
"There are three walls in total, and then there is the palace," Verdant said. "One would find the attack on the Capital most difficult. Each wall is thirty times the height of a man."
"Untested, though," Oliver said. "They don't expect battle, and they've not been met with one since those walls went up, have they?"
"No. War came close, but it never made its way right to the Capital's gates," Verdant said.
"Then a determined force could likely take it," Oliver decided. "And quickly, at that."
"We could," Blackthorn said, with the same confidence, as though it was a very real thing that they were planning on doing. "We would need a simple distraction. The presence of three walls can be used against the defenders, if we gain the initiative."
