Lauryn Auriol
Lauryn had paid very little attention to Sergei comment at the moment as she gave orders to the men having them make quick repairs to the walls and having them re-oil the ground in front of the wall and now the gate and if all else failed Lauryn had one last line of defense in mind but this was secret to all but her most trusted men. The forces were now bolstered by the Queen or Sovereign as she prefered Lauryn's personal guard more than making up for the losses from there earlier battle. The wall was now ready for another assault or as ready as it could be. With the wall attended to she walked into the tent where Sergei was being kept...

She walked slowly in as she set her helmet on the table with a map of the gate and surrounding area, she set her hands on the table and cleared her throat to speak. Her voice was gentle and soft yet there was an undertone of frustration in it. "Sergei you know you wouldn't have won this battle... and I decided not to make you my prisoner as a show of good faith do not make me change my decision" Her eyes shifted slowly up to the large man who towered over her. "And please don't think that I need you, you are disposable to me, infact I expect your men to attempt to get you once more. Would be a shame if they were to fail in taking my wall and the greater part of your army were decimated trying to besiege these walls. Especially with what i've set up for them..."

She walked outside the tent and crossed her arms, outside the tent were men loading something into the walls and behind the walls a series of catapults and ballistae were set up to punish and demolish any returning Venteran forces. She turned to Sergei "No will you negotiate or will you lead your men to slaughter.."
