Of course, outside the city those evil cultists couldn't defeat the Order of Knights along with the Church, so a stalemate formed.
And those nobles are waiting for Bruce to continue wearing himself down, like a pack of wolves surrounding a wounded tiger, ready to pounce at any sign of weakness.
The so-called unbreakable noble system is becoming precarious, which is quite amusing.
But they have their own arguments; we swore allegiance to the Earl, you're just the heir, and no one has truly seen the Earl dead now, so if you want recognition, then attack the city and prove yourself.
Bruce isn't foolish; clearly, they're asking him to go to his death?
He's well aware that unless he can succeed at once, any huge losses during the siege will cause those guys to devour him.
Now he can only cling onto the Church, carry the banner of eliminating the evil cult to condemn those nobles.
