Summary
Weist explains that the city will surrender to the Principality of Amidonia because they cannot defend against the attack. Weist however cannot open the gate because he says the city is divides between those who support the king and those who support Amidonia. Weist goes back in to convince everyone. It takes a day for him to return and mentions it took him longer than he thought. He asks for them to break their siege until noon. Gaius complies saying they have half a day to live. Weist returns to Excel Walter who was moved to Altomura secretly to delay the Amidonian army.

A day earlier, the royal army hides in a fort on the frontline of the battle between the rebel army and the king's army. The rebel armies are attacking the walls but aren't having much luck with the walls made of roman concrete. They were able to make it so fast thanks to the rhinocerous beasts that Tomoe Inui provided. The corrupt noble soldiers and mercenaries that are in the rebel army are attacking wildly while Georg's forces aren't attacking. Halbert feels unpleasant about killing his own people but does it anyway. A siege cannon is brought by the rebel army which worries Kaede and Halbert.
