Miss Rabbit gave Ebrusus a lesson on the spot; on one side, the city's guards dispatched cavalry to attack and destroy the siege tower, while on the other side, the Lady calmly directed the cavalry that came in to cut off the retreat of those men.
Ebrusus, seeing this, hurriedly ordered the retreat trumpet to be blown.
However, the Knight leading that team of cavalry out did not know he had been targeted, and seeing the second siege tower right in front of him, he was reluctant to just retreat like that.
Moreover, he still remembered the orders given by Ebrusus; the feigned defeat had to be convincing, or if they suddenly retreated back into the city without clashing with anyone, the pursuers would surely become suspicious, and the plan would fail, wouldn't it?
So he lingered a bit longer, set fire to the siege tower, and only then prepared to retreat.
But just as he delayed for that moment, the Resistance Army's cavalry had already cut off their retreat.
