The old castle—also known as the true "Kingsfort"—is perfectly located, perched high and ready for defense, practically a natural fortress.
Unfortunately, as the city grew, it became completely surrounded by residential areas, losing its function to repel foreign invaders.
Luckily, the old castle remains the place with the highest ground and best view in the city, so Jansen Cornelius not only set up the command center here, but also arranged an observation post at the top of the old Duke's Coronation Church.
At this moment, Cornelius himself is in the observation post.
From his position, he can overlook the scenery on both banks of the River Shijian.
Looking westward, although there are glimmers of fire on Knight's Castle, the gunshots and cannon fire have ceased—this does not surprise Cornelius.
The problem is, the gunfire and cannon noise also stopped in the direction of Magit Island to the south.
Moreover, the island's Bishop's Castle is pitch black, completely silent.
