Behind the Manjet followed two Cohortii of Heavy Infantry, but these was no common Heavy Infantry. Forming it were the expert Siege Engineers of the 9th Legion and with them they brought the finest siege engines the world of Telath had ever seen. Catapult after catapult lined in the road numbering a total one a hundred! Behind followed twenty repeating ballistae, dangerous weapons that would cry havoc in the ranks of the Horde with their numerous piercing shoots that could impale three men at once. And to finish, at the tail of the army, with only a detachment of guard behind follow the mighty trebuchet. These engines were designed to throw projectiles of great weight at great distances, being able to both make stones or explosive barrels fall upon the head of the Legion's enemies or simply shoot directly into the front rows.

These were the weapons the Manjet would use against whatever fortification the Orcs could build or they would simply be employed against the green tide from afar.
