As soon as he ascended the city wall, Durin saw the distant barracks engulfed in a raging fire.
He had the communications officer dial back, and Durin heard good news over the phone — the artillery observers on the hot air balloon spotted the Chaos' food supply carts.
Unlike the Changtang dining house at the pass, in Durin's eyes, the Chaos' heads devoured standard pig slop. In reality, their meals were placed in fluid form within trough tanks, sent each morning from the rear camp to distribute breakfast to the forward Chaos camps.
Despite being unable to observe the main camp due to lacking ground anti-air fire and Heavenly Master's cover, the observers managed to spot those food carts consistently over several days.
This time, upon seeing them enter the forward camp and begin distributing food, the observer wasted no time and connected the phone to Durin's artillery command. The artillery commander waved his hand, and twenty cannons fired five rapid shots.
