With Nottingham Castle fully under the jurisdiction of the Directorate and the "Hostile Takeover" papers signed, Ragnar rapidly mounted his "Range Department" assets on the prime real estate of the curtain walls.
Unlike the star-shaped fortress of City Titan, which was expertly designed by Ragnar to maximize fields of fire, the medieval walls of Nottingham were inefficient.
They had blind spots, poor drainage, and a severe lack of safety railings.
However, Ragnar was an engineer. He improvised.
Since he had left the heavy chemical manufacturing equipment back at Titan, he was limited in his use of the "Spicy Mix." But that did not matter.
He had five heavy Torsion Spikes.. massive, ballista-like machines utilizing high-tension spring-steel bundles instead of rope.. and hundreds of the new "Type-2" repeating crossbows.
Ragnar currently stood atop the gatehouse of Nottingham, gazing off into the misty Midlands with his brass telescope.
