*Hans takes a long look at the map and the reports from the spy inside Acre*

It seems the gates will be open when we strike, yet Youssef and his horde are camping just outside the gates and will either reinforce the fortress if we lay siege or have reinforcements coming to his aid if we attack him. Either way, after this battle, it is likely that there will be so few defenders left to defend Acre that we can take it without any resistance.
As such, the decision as to who shall command the attack is up to the council I suppose, as both the chancellor and I have raised the wish to command said attack.

And Count of Mahren, I cannot hold you if you wish to depart for Jerusalem immediately, but we shall be there in time for the assault even if you stayed. The choice is yours.
