The royal capital was divided into two sections—
the Inner City and the Outer City.
The Inner City was where the royal family and nobles lived. It possessed its own independent judicial and security systems.
Although the Inner City did not appear particularly large, it still housed several hundred cannons, enough to provide complete fire coverage over the Outer City.
That meant even if John managed to break into the Outer City, he would still have to face another layer of concentrated fire from the Inner City.
The Outer City, meanwhile, was home to hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians.
Several hundred cannons had been mounted along its walls, which were guarded by roughly one hundred thousand elite soldiers.
The harbor outside the Outer City also possessed several hundred cannons and was located extremely close to the city walls.
