The mages and spellswords didn't get far, either. The reinforced walls of Blacklight simply absorbed the blasts of fire and lightning shot by the mages.

The response from Blacklight was swift. From a secure, elevated position on top of the battlements, archers let loose volleys of arrows and mages rained down blasts of lightning  upon the infantry below. The ballistae, although meant for taking out enemy artillery, pitched in by firing bolts into the crowd, impaling swordsman and mage alike. It was a massacre. The army was decimated as Blacklight had been ready for them and they had done little damage to the city before being wiped out. The Leader of Silgrad Tower died on the battlefield.

(Now they have no army, so taking over the two locations will be as easy as just sending a force down to occupy them. They have no soldiers to resist occupation anymore.)
