In this conflict, limited to the baron and knight levels, Knight Blima, being a knight himself, would not partake in the heavy cavalry.
However, in higher-tiered wars, knights would merge into the heavy cavalry, becoming the elite force within.
After much contemplation, Howard finally said to Anna, "Anna, it seems that whether we forcefully assault the castle or lure the enemy into open battle, this fight will be challenging. I've decided to follow your suggestion. We'll win over the gatekeeper captain, feign an attack, and at the critical moment, have him open the gates for us."
Anna gracefully acknowledged with a bow.
As time progressed, a day later, Howard's forces surrounded the Castle Fernsouth, commencing the siege.
This encirclement aimed to cut off the castle's supply of water and food, thereby weakening the enemy's combat strength.
