In the afternoon, Saladin Castle had already been completely occupied by the Crusaders.
The green, red, and yellow Holy Fire banners were cut down by the Crusader soldiers who ascended to the city walls, thrown down from the ramparts, and replaced by flags adorned with a cross and a double-headed eagle.
Saladin Castle was already a strategic high point, and with the change of banners here, most of Cairo City could be clearly seen. Despite the large number of defenders in the city, their morale was shaken and it was an unimaginable shock.
Historically, sieges were protracted battles, lasting years, what with this siege being taken in just half a day?
Moreover, with the Demon Dragon airborne, Cairo's defenders had no means of counterattack. Those Demon-blocking golden crossbows, which once posed a threat prior to Ladon's advancement, now couldn't hit their target even if they could cause harm.
