The Supreme Albion Kingdom and its new ally, the Ashar Kingdom, marched towards the city of Helmsford, the capital of the corrupt kingdom of Darnia. The two kingdoms had been making steady progress, conquering smaller cities and towns along the way, but Helmsford was the largest and most heavily fortified city they had encountered yet.
Shao and King Richard led the charge, their armies moving in perfect formation as they approached the walls of the city. The defenders launched arrows and threw stones, but the attackers had prepared for this. The Ashar soldiers used their shields to deflect incoming projectiles, while the Albion archers shot back with deadly accuracy.
The siege lasted for days, with the attackers trying different strategies to breach the walls. Shao proposed a daring plan to use explosives to blow a hole in the wall, and after some convincing, King Richard agreed.
Under the cover of darkness, a team of Ashar engineers and Albion soldiers snuck to the base of the wall and set off the explosives. The blast was heard throughout the city, and the attackers charged through the rubble.
The defenders fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Shao and King Richard led their armies into the city, and after a bloody battle, they emerged victorious.
