The iron balls fired from the Field Artillery Cannons smashed directly into the defensive structures of Calais.
Erik marched his four thousand foot soldiers through the broken gates and entered the coastal city.
However, as Erik walked across the paths and looked at the damage caused by his massive siege weapons, he noticed a very strange pattern of destruction.
The areas struck beside the wall were entirely military positions.
The iron projectiles had destroyed the stone watchtowers where the archers stood, and they had shattered the barracks where the city guards slept.
The weapon storage buildings were completely leveled, leaving only broken wood and bent iron spears in the mud. However, no shops were destroyed by mistake, nor was any unnecessary destruction carried out.
The simple wooden houses where the local farmers lived were perfectly intact. The market stalls where the merchants sold fish and bread were completely untouched by the heavy cannon fire.
