The battlements are on top of the castle, in between the towers. These walkways have raised walls to prevents soldiers from fall off them or being picked off by archers. The walkways have narrow slots carved out at regular intervals for archers to aim through with getting hit themselves. There are also wider slots at longer intervals with cannons stationed at them. Flush against the outside walls are short, long boxes for soldiers to place their extra weapons in when preparing for a seige.

I'm a soldier. I'm paid to kill. This is a job, nothing more. I'm a mercenary in a lot of ways.
Yes, I think we were born ready. Plus, look at this place...we are secure. Very true  I just always get nervous before battle until I shoot my first arrow Understood, archer. War is a scary thing. It's a shame it had to come to this! Agreed. One day everyone will respect the king  Until then we will be ready  Amen. But until they hail the king... this is where we'll be. Have you been in many wars before? This is my 3rd. Last time I shot 50 men. What about you?  Honestly, I grew up in war - can't remember a time without it... but I think this time we will prevail! I agree. I see them approaching. They don't look like much  Oh! I guess it's about time!! They won't know what hit them once I start shooting  They'll be gone in no time. Then hopefully the kingdom will finally be able to rule! Let's hope  I tire of these constant attacks
