Apparently Mulek’s capture was so sudden and complete that no soldiers escaped to retreat to the other Lamanite-held cities. Leaving a garrison at the city, Moroni hastened off along the route of the Lamanites pursuing the fleeing Teancum. He would not have risked a counter-attack from Lamanites from other cities that might have retaken Mulek, from which I deduce that the other Lamanite-held cities did not know of Mulek’s capture.
