While Light went after the catapult, Dante went after its crew. Mostly to keep them off Light while he worked the Catapult down.

Two Crossbow wielding Orks, little to be concerned about at close range. Dante quickly closed in, and drew their attention, one pulling out a short sword and coming at 'her' with that, while the other took a shot at 'her', which sailed right passed 'her' head as Dante started dismantling the other Orcs defenses and pushing it toward the one still using the crossbow, forcing it to also swap the Crossbow for another weapon, a small axe.

With both Orcs on 'her' and with the risk of any damage going to anyone other then her, Light was left with free reign to destroy the Catapult, while 'she' carved the crew up.
