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.
I guess... I'm tired of battle, but war never ends, so I shall prepare. I hear you there.Hopefully the king will be just a little more ready to sign a treaty with Kissanthia after this battle. I'm not sure how many more troops we can afford to lose. God, I hope so. I miss peaceful times. I understand the King's requirements, but can't he see how tired we are? We'll have all been killed by the time a treaty is signed. We shall see. The peasants of Rushanthia are in danger while we're away, I'm hoping the general can get that through the kings head Me too. If anyone can talk some sense into the King, it's the General. Here, I found this on my walk over. Think it's worth anything? That coin is from greece! it should be worth 1 or 2 gold coins.  From Greece?! How on earth did it get all the way over here?! Maybe one of the soldiers brought it back from the great war in aerosmithanthia! Well, that is pretty cool. I'll keep a hold of this since it could be worth something. Here, what about this? What war is this from, you reckon? Oh man! I do believe this is a map in the Kingdom of Nirvanathia! Have you tried to find the treasure? No... I briefly considered it but oh well, whatever, nevermind. What do you think the treasure is? I know they used to bury chests full of exotic riches during war time. I think we should go looking for it after battle
