章 632: Being Careful Helps

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Surrender! We must surrender!" Yavuz's voice cracked in utter panic.

"Quickly, wave the white flag! Stop their firing! Let's send some men out to negotiate!" he ordered frantically, his eyes darting around in terror.

"We can't endure this onslaught any longer!" another voice echoed in agreement, trembling with fear.

Yet, to Yavuz's utter despair, the relentless Rumelian artillery unleashed two more thunderous volleys, ensuring that any lingering resistance was thoroughly crushed. Only then did the advancing troops, cautious yet unyielding, approach the fortress. They methodically ordered the Ottoman defenders to disarm and assemble outside, weapons surrendered in a heap stacking high as a mountain. The gates of the fortress creaked open, and the banners of the Ottomans were replaced with the emblem of the Double Headed Eagle.
