Cardinal Leon had temporarily taken control of all military power in the capital. As such, he directed the guards on the city wall personally. If he had not done so, all of the guards would have been paralyzed by fear.
The arrogant Cretans had been completely demoralized by the recent news from Holy Seville. If the Cardinal had not brought 20,000 soldiers as reinforcement and personally reassured the people that the pope and saintess would send help, the capital would have fallen already.
In the last few days, they had received intelligence that the Holy Seville Empire would arrive today. As such, they had taken their weapons to attack the capital.
Leon knew that the human alliance army was heading over. However, if they could not arrive before the Holy Seville army, he knew he could not hold this city with less than 100,000 soldiers.
