Altair: A Record of Battles

The Iron Chains (1x6)

:

As the siege continues, Konstantinos berates Apollodorus for not assisting in the war effort and the two argue over if going to war against Balt-Rhein was the right decision, given how citizens from nations that the empire has annexed are cruelly treated. At night, Glalat prepares the army for their next attack, uncaring for the lives for his men and conscripted soldiers to enact his plans. Mahmut meets up with Kyros and his crew to sail to Venedik, and then goes to lower the harbor chains so they can leave. Over the speaking tubes channel, they learn that a group of conscripted soldiers from Balt-Rhein surrender to Phoiníkē and ask for asylum. After seeing Glalat ordering men to attack the dissenters, Konstantinos and the rest of the senate agree to take the dissenters in and lower the harbor chains. However, one of Glalat's ships manage to enter the harbor before they could raise the chains again. Kyros and Mahmut use their ship to take on and subdue Glalat and his men. Glalat frees himself and escaped as Mahmut and the crew witness city being set ablaze by imperials soldiers lead by Lelederik, who were able to scale the crystal cliffs.
