The fate of Baschurten was already sealed the moment the city gates collapsed.
Fried had ordered the city to be plundered, and when the Swiss mercenaries broke through the last defensive line the defenders had built, the follow-up troops descended on the homes of civilians and carried out looting and slaughter.
In an instant, the city fell into utter chaos. The mercenaries killed every man they laid eyes on and raped the women. Terrible screams and mournful wailing swept through the entire city.
"Tsk tsk, they're nothing but a pack of unbridled colts."
"General! The mercenaries won't follow orders!"
Like a dam bursting under floodwaters, the mercenaries' self-restraint had long since given way. General Alexander clicked his tongue and dispatched troops to the key facilities and churches, preventing the mercenaries from looting indiscriminately.
