I think you're forgetting that the guy commanding the Capital's forces isn't actually King Wellon but one of Xaphira's minions. The real king is held hostage by Xaphira and Tengil and his men have joined forces with them. The Capital is still defensive at the startout, as to not cause suspicion too early, but when it joins the fight it is another way of giving Xaphira and Tengil a headstart. I have tweaked some of the instructions to take this into account, though.
