Bab 139: Lothar's Defeat

It had been over a week since the Siege of Trent, and the entire region fell into Berengar's hands, but to Count Lothar, who was trapped in Vienna with no way out, he had no way of knowing that he had completely lost the home front.

At this point, he was desperate to escape the city and flee towards his home, where he planned to rally the local forces and defend Innsbruck until every man, woman, and child had expended their lives in its defense. He would do whatever was necessary to ensure his own survival for as long as possible.

Count Otto's forces had broken through the gates, and the City was once more thrust into chaos as Otto and his men began fighting their way through the battle-worn soldiers of Lothar's army or what remained of it. Count Lothar, at the moment, was battling with a knight under Otto's command who was clad in full steel plate armor; the two men were both similarly equipped.
