Two days later in Atarkan, the city has already fallen into the hands of Astanian troops.
Hundreds of thousands of warriors fell in battle and many city officials as well as aristocrats were killed.
As for the civilians, they were held captive and were forced to stay in the inner ring of the city where a strict lockdown was imposed. To prevent them from gathering in large groups, multiple teams of warriors would roam around the streets to observe their every move.
At this moment, the military officers of the Astanian troops were gathered in Atarkan's city hall.
Alaric stood on the second floor, observing the crowd beneath him.
Suddenly, Aldrin whose arm had been bandaged approached him and whispered.
"Your Highness, everyone has been accounted for."
Hearing this, Alaric nodded his head.
"Let's begin." He spoke to Giovanni, who was standing next to him.
"Alright," Giovanni responded.
