The third and fifth defences were the only ones which persisted.
The fourth defence line was taken quite easily. After Alex and the nobles departed, it became hollow.
Out of the remaining soldiers stationed there, many fled away while others surrendered without any resistance.
The fifth defence succeeded in repelling the enemies. The wave consisted of only a few thousand soldiers so they were able to hold on easily.
And as no attack had been made on the third defence line, it was still as good as before.
After Alex escaped, a scout from Arkham's side had been sent to the second defence line and after noticing the absence of Kinley's soldiers, the group from the first defence captured and secured the perimeter quite easily.
On the fifth defence line, movements could be seen throughout the forts.
