Kitahata Giyou stood atop Anong City's wall, watching as the thick smoke from a distant Rock Fortress gradually dissipated, estimating that the garrison there was likely doomed, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
As the core fortress of the Hokitate Family, Anong City had been maintained for over a century. Naturally, its defensive system couldn't rely on a solitary, barren main castle. There were numerous satellite fortresses outside, and even more Rock Fortresses that guarded crucial crossroads and strategic locations.
Yet, these fortifications didn't pose much trouble for the Wanjin Army. In just six days, the Wanjin Army not only forced their way across the river but also cleared all the Rock Fortresses along the riverbank and at the riverbend entrance.
Now, the Wanjin Army could attack the city head-on without much hindrance, effectively trapping the majority of the Hokitate Family's main forces inside the city.
