The battle at the northern wall was far less intense than on the other three fronts.
The main force of the champion army showed no signs of deployment, with only the light infantry and mounted archers engaging in assaults on the city walls.
The mounted archers maintained a considerable distance from the walls, while the infantry conducted only tentative attacks.
Owen knew the Champion King was waiting for him to attempt a breakout, and yet he couldn't afford not to.
This made the Champion King a formidable adversary indeed.
With the city gates now open, Owen led his cavalry at the forefront, scattering caltrops as they advanced to hinder pursuit.
The infantry and archers followed, maintaining a distance from the cavalry to avoid the caltrops.
As the eastern city wall finally fell, the soldiers at the northern wall, now facing attacks from three sides, could only fight desperately to buy time for the main force to break out.
