The Eastern stronghold of Tinis fell in less than a day, and Gasilab Castle, Tannenbourg, Sahel Castle... those fortresses with garrisons of only a few hundred couldn't hold out for long either.

While patrolling the city walls, he seemed to hear the whispers of the soldiers talking about their families in occupied areas; a few days ago, when the city gates were not yet closed, their friends and family fleeing to the western Manufiya Province...
Every day, nobles, loaded with property and wealth, are fleeing the city by ship.
