GET IN THE EVA, SHINJINext they'll have EVA units
It's not a waste if they can kill the enemy combatants before the enemy manages to launch their magic attacks. It's not like a ballista shot would be that expensive, plus chances are it can be recycled afterwards. The magic kingdom's defending troops also ought to be guessing the Cane Kingdom is only sending a small detached force, so there's no immediate need to try to be conservative with ammunition.Bruh, using a ballista against normal light armored troops lmao what a waste.
