Both inside and outside the city, preparations for battle had been made. The Demon Clan's musketeers and crossbowmen had taken their positions on the city walls, and all types of solid-shot cannons were ready to fire, just waiting for the fuses to be lit.
The Demon Clan's cannons were somewhat similar to Red Barbarian Cannons, being typical examples of breech-loading, smoothbore guns. The Demon Clan had deployed a large number of such cannons on the city walls, and even the harbor was fortified. Should the enemy dare to approach by boat, they would surely be bombarded into disorientation.
Among the defenders on the city walls, the number of musketeers was actually not large, with more crossbowmen present instead, alternating their fire. This was because the Demon Clan generally used musketeers to face the enemy directly in open battle, rather than for city defense.
