The situation at the fortress was much worse than Alex expected, as beside his regiment, only two more regiments came for help, their number barely crossing four hundred, with the total number of defenders barely reaching two thousand, making the enemy outnumber them two to one.
When Alex and his regiment reached the fortress, which they did so an hour and twenty minutes after the summon, the battle between the two forces for control was already at its peak.
There was no Major present to confront the enemy leader, but even if there was one, it wouldn't change the situation much as the enemy ranks held many more strong individuals on their side.
While the fortress soldier quickly informed Alex of incoming aid from Easkerton Keep within an hour, he understood that it was unlikely when he could see on the map that Easkerton Fortress was also under siege.
