Lisbeth gave the two boys a salute as they started to go. "Good work, men. You've served Stormbreak well."
She worked on wrapping things up with the construction crews, ensuring that she dotted all the t's and crossed all the i's. Then she gave one more personal inspection of everything. The ammunition seemed to be in good supply. She walked along the docks, pressing her foot up and down in a few spots to make sure there were no signs of weakness. And she had the ballistae fire a couple of practice shots to test them out and calibrate the aim.
Satisfied that everything had been done well, she dismissed the work crews and headed back towards the city. She would report in to her commanding officer, thankfully able to report that her mission had been a success. Mateo had been right...hopefully, the defenses wouldn't even be needed. But if the enemy did come to the sky docks, at least they would be well prepared.
