Siege of Froth

Siege of Froth was the struggle over the control of the port Castle, Froth, between the forces of the Royal Army and the Northern Horde. It was fought during the massive Worvian northern invasion known as the Fortudatum Crusade. The siege was short, as the Worvians ended up assaulting and capturing the castle swiftly by force.
==Prelude==
In the beginning of the crusade, the Worvian Army split into two. The smaller army, that fielded more elite troops, commanded by Diarmud Baathúr and Mennos van Dire, traveled to capture the only Horde held castle, the Froth.
Their army initially began to siege the castle but they were hurried by the Parabellum Fleet that required a docking station. Admiral Dann Strickt demanded Diarmud and Mennos to take the castle fast as his fleet was about the attack the Horde fleet in the Battle of Froth Bay.
==Battle==
The battle was short as the Legio Ardostum spearheaded by Rexton Scale and his Goliath Company charged the breach of the castle. Rexton acted like cavalry and pushed the defenders back. Following the Goliath Company the other Legion Companies and swarmed the defenders. The defenders melted away in front of the awe of the Ardians.
After the Ardians captured the breach, the castle's fate was set as the rest of the forces surged in. The defenders had lost almost all cohesion, besides one spot holding a wide street near the citadel. Surrendering meant nothing to the Ardians, which meant that the defenders fought to their last.
The most devastating attack against the Ardians in this battle was when the defending leaders in a moment of despair blew up their ships docked at the harbour.
