Mat stood next to Sherman, watching the soldiers come forward. "Blood and bloody ashes." He said. "Joe, if we had some towers, that would be immensely helpful." Towers to watch the flanks, herd the enemy right where they were wanted, where they could most easily be eliminated. Secondary trenches might help.

There was no need to kill them both right here. That could wait until after Cauthon was dead. The girl and the giant were placed in a room and left alone, machines were brought in and men in white coats stopped by every so often to check in on the girl. It was a tempting target, now, how to separate the giant from the girl. "It's time you made yourself useful." Fain said to the Myrdraal standing behind him. "And I know just how you may do so."
