I know the reason why...
But the defense is seriously like the biggest wtf in the whole show. How could we think these characters are smart with this literal hulk smash shyt. Seriously makes you miss the tywin years of seeing the planning.
The idea that a fort surrounded by a forest couldnt put up a proper defense, literally chopping down some trees lining a floor of em soaked in oil Dragons Settint em on fire. Could have held back literally the entire army. Every battle move made asinine.
Instead they make it a wash and have the characters survive in near impossible fashions OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER.... the entire thing is ruined with this dumb ass plan and overuse of “oh this will look nice ON TV” over telling proper STORY. Coulda looked JUST as good too. Woulda made for a BETTER ending too seeing it reel back and forth correctly.
