A brutal battle followed later that evening.
The walls surrounding the estate of House Shakewell couldn't stop the relentless assault of the city defense forces' siege units.
The seemingly sturdy walls quickly collapsed in just half an hour.
House Shakewell's troops tried to stop the city defense forces from advancing, but they were overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers.
At this moment, inside the estate's main mansion.
"Shit! Where are they?! Didn't you say that you had already sent them a message?!" Peterson's voice was shaking with anxiety.
His retainers were also panicking and there were even a few of them who looked like they were about to have a mental breakdown.
"My lord, did they betray us too?" One of his retainers said with uncertainty.
Hearing this, Peterson slammed his armrest in anger. "They dare betray me?! This is an act of treason!"
