[Magit Island]
[Defenders' Position]
Colonel Raymond Montecuccoli was counting the firing sounds of the rebel artillery.
The island's four six-pound cannons were all in position, as the artillerymen pushed and lifted with all their might to relocate the cannons originally stationed at the northern temporary battery to the new position chosen by the Colonel.
But Montecuccoli held fire, delaying even the command to load.
Because the appearance of the rebel artillery had completely changed the rules of the game.
Montecuccoli's selected new position was northeast of the rebel landing point, slanting towards the battlefield and slightly elevated, offering a clear view.
From his vantage point, the Floating Bridge, the destroyed water barricade, the rebel landing point, and the position of the Lodewick Faction were all in full view.
Beside him, his subordinates were racing against time, working tirelessly to construct an emplacement for the cannons.
