(@Red: He is not hostile now, but he isn't ignorant. He would suspect that the Imperium would attack sooner or later. So having the rulers of two nearby nations as captives is a highly useful thing. He could bargain pretty much whatever he wants with that. So again, it seems stupid to risk going into possible enemy territory for no reason.

@Fishy: FYI, it will take 3 months to start a revolt in Hackdirt.)

The archers were the last stay against the guards. They could no longer hold their formation and broke apart, after which Riften was able to quickly dispatch the last of them.

The Lord Captain's forces had been on route to the skirmish near the gates. When they were close enough to see the fight, they realized that their comrades had lost. The Captain then told his men to turn tail and retreat to the longhouse.

While the watchtower had been disabled, the walls were not empty. A number of the town's archers were present there firing with their longbows at the approaching army.

There was also the matter of there being no way inside the town from where Southpoint was attacking. The walls were too large to climb up, they were intact and Southpoint had no ladders to help them get over it. So Southpoint's soldiers were running into a wall with no way over it, all the while taking fire from enemy archers.

A letter from Jarl Cristus arrived in Windhelm. Like Fryssa had suspected he didn't want to meet in Windhelm and had instead offered the meeting place of Nightgate, which stood roughly the same distance from both cities.

Korst agreed with the meeting spot and told his mother to send the Jarl his reply. They arranged to meet in Nightgate in three weeks time, on the 30th of the month.
