History
In the year 1745, the British Royal Navy attacked the fortress and the Assassins John de la Tour, Achilles and Abigail Davenport, were sent to assist the defenders. However, after realizing it to be a futile effort, de la Tour chose to sacrifice himself in saving the Davenport couple which the two fled the fortress which was captured by the British. The fort was returned by the French through signing the Treaty of Aix-Chapelle.
Later at the year 1759, British forces again attacked the fort, starting the Siege of Louisbourg. The Assassin Adéwale attempted to destroy British ships using fire ships but the Templars intercepted him, and with the help of James Cook with the use of his ship, the HMS Pembroke, managed to destroy the fire ships as well the ships sent by thr French Navy. With Louisbourg captured, the tide turned to Britain's favor, enabling them to win the war by 1763.
