Press the Attack

The Hellcannons need fresh ammunition if we're to take out the Elf scum sailing upriver. Thankfully the local peasantry are too cowardly to run far. They've locked themselves in their hovels. Smoke them out, slaughter them and feed their remains to the Hellcannons. The screams of the dying combined with the cannons' hellish roar will shatter the Elves resolve as well as their precious handcrafted boats. Nothing will stop Reikland from being crushed into smoking ruin. And then Altdorf itself will fall!

Smash the lanterns near the Reiksguard peasant huts to set fire to the buildings. Then wait for the peasants to emerge and slaughter them. Once they have been slain, use the hellcannons to kill the Bladesingers onboard of the approaching High Elf boats. Return to Mual the Destroyer when done.
