CFP3157'S EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION: "Umm...what?- Christian Shengway" 

Attacker
This should be remarkably easy for Markus, as for one, Ryan's main strategy is to actually ditch the castle. Even if Ryan didn't do that, he's not as prepared or skilled to deal with the Captain of Asaea. I don't honestly see the point of Markus actually needing to make the enemy surrender, but either way hs reputation, performance at proving his reputation correct, and the fact that Ryan is a less cool version of Austonio. Basically, he's just as insane but got none of the funny quirks or the right amount of fire. >>>>>>Implying Markus will actually issue single combat
 * Overrun Castle: 1 point
 * Force Surrender: 1 point
 * Win Single Combat: 1 point

Anyway, Markus' arsenal is built to be able to tank damage with his short sword and shield, yet remain light on his feet because of the fact that the shield and sword are his main defense. His armor may seem bulky, but he's not going to need to move much with his pike covering distance or his ability to camp with his sword and shield.

Defender
With Ryan's alreay mentioned insanity and Markus' incredible reputation and charisma, the only way Ryan is getting Markus to surrender is with a gun to his head....literally. I'm not entirely sure how you can annihilate the attacker if you're retreating from the force and letting the enemy fucking walk in, but either way a majority of Ryan's weapons either can't actually penetrate the walls or his weapons are way too bulky *cough, catapult, cough* to suit his strategy that doesn't make them sitting ducks. Again, seeing as Ryan's main strategy is to fucking run away, he's not surviving in a fort he let Markus walk right into for four days, let alone four months. Look at single combat above.
 * Force Surrender: 0 point
 * Annhilate Attacker: 0 point
 * Survive 4 Months: 0 point
 * Win Single Combat: 0 point 

Tie
Honestly, Ryan isn't winning and Markus' men are too inspired by their leader to kill him. The chances of Ryan actually killing Markus are slim as a blade of grass, with the only chance being that he's got a literal gun to the latter's head. Ryan is certainly going to die, but the only way is for Markus to die is if he pulls a Shengway and falls off the ramparts in drunken celebration.
 * One wins but dies: 0 point
 * Both die: 0 point

Overall Score
Markus Thaowan should take this battle pretty easily.
 * Markus Thaowan: 3 points
 * Ryan the Dreaded: 0 points
 * Tie: 0 points
