Chapter 344: Rescue
The three-month siege has enveloped the city of Benoris in a haze. Every day and night, the people in this city spend their days in fear and expectation, and their lives are eroded by endless anxiety and uneasiness.
The noise on the city streets in the past is no longer there, replaced by silence, with only the occasional footsteps of patrolling troops and the roar of distant artillery fire.
The destructive impact of the battles of the extraordinary people is too huge. Although no monarch has died in three months and the city barrier can still operate normally, the aftermath of more than a dozen battles has almost completely turned the entire city into ruins.
The lives of the residents of Benoris have become extremely difficult, and food and water have become extremely scarce. People have to rely on military rations and limited reserves to survive.
Every bite of food seems precious, and every drop of water is like the source of life.
In order to save resources, the citizens of Benoris have to take various measures to save fuel and water. Everyone is doing their part to survive.
However, in the unprecedented predicament, the people of Benoris showed amazing resilience and solidarity, supporting each other. Some volunteers who believed in Lady Silver Moon and the Lord of Redemption even formed various groups to provide necessary help to the citizens of the city, risking danger to travel through every corner of the city and bring hope to the suffering people.
Those volunteers can leave the city under the leadership of the priests of the Orthodox Church and then return to Benoris, but the food and medicine they can carry each time are limited, and they will always be strictly checked for weapons and extraordinary materials, and there cannot be any extraordinary people among the volunteers entering and leaving.
The weather is getting colder and colder. The hearts of the citizens of Benoris are experiencing great tests in the long siege. They are always worried about the safety of their families and afraid of losing their relatives and friends.
The only good news is the Fussack family and the Jones family. They have not participated in the war so far, and although the Yadley royal family keeps urging them, they dare not offend them at this time.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
The little boy and his mother prayed for food, but the frowning mother just sighed.
Suddenly, the sky quietly changed color, from deep lead gray to soft silver white, and a slight cold wind passed by, bringing a subtle chill.
Those pure white elves gently fell from the sky, gradually becoming more and more dense, like countless small hands gently caressing this forgotten city.
They flew and spun in the air, and finally slowly landed on roofs, streets, treetops, and those ancient buildings eroded by time.
The outline of the city gradually became blurred under the embellishment of snowflakes, as if covered with a mysterious veil. The original gray tones were replaced by soft silver white, giving people a sense of tranquility and solemnity.
The besieged citizens poked their heads out from their hiding places. They looked at the sudden change in surprise. Some of them showed a happy expression, as if they saw the dawn of hope; some of them still frowned, worried about the unknown future.
At the same time, the soldiers of the royal army outside the city also looked at the snowflakes in the sky in astonishment.
"It's snowing!"
After three months of siege, the army fell into an unprecedented predicament. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the soldiers who had come here were exhausted physically and mentally.
Although they fought bravely and fearlessly, the city seemed to have endless resistance, making it impossible for them to break through the defense line.
The soldiers' mood gradually changed from the initial high spirits to heavy and depressed. They felt helpless, as if they were completely shrouded in endless darkness.
The long battles and marches made them exhausted, and their steps became heavy and slow. At night, they lay in simple tents. Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, they could not fall asleep. The noise of the battlefield and the shouts of their comrades kept echoing in their minds.
The long battle also made the soldiers on both sides feel confused and confused. They didn't know when the war would end and what their fate would be.
Uncertainty and powerlessness always made people feel tortured.
In the military camp outside the city, many nobles, led by the Yadley royal family, now gathered together.
"It's snowing?"
Marquis Rad walked out of the tent and stared at the crystal clear snowflakes in the sky. When those snowflakes came around him, they would quietly disappear because of the invisible high temperature.
He attacked Nasir City in East Coast Province three months ago and almost died there. He escaped death through the forbidden magic.
Marquis Rad quickly returned to the range of Benolis and was shocked to learn that Bayne Fisher and Chris Fisher had never left here.
"How is it possible? I clearly saw them there!"
He was very shocked and felt that there were only two possibilities. Either one of them was pretending to be a Fisher monarch, or the Fisher family had the ability to move over long distances!
"Did they use some kind of forbidden magic?"
Marquis Rad thought about this possibility, but he couldn't be sure.
In fact, the nobles of the Yadley royal family were also under great pressure. They needed to formulate appropriate strategies and plans. They didn't take down Benolis for three whole months, which was actually beyond everyone's expectations.
"I really don't know how long this fight will end. The Star Embracing Society is causing trouble in my hometown again. Humph!"
He has received news that the citizens have been bewitched and captured the town, and has sent extraordinary men under his family to fight against it.
Marquis Ladd turned and returned to the military camp, where His Majesty "Sword of Redemption" Noah sat calmly on his seat.
The young king with long blond hair always seemed very calm, and that sense of calm was even a little unusual.
In addition to the two of them, "Silver Poetry" Afaf is also here.
She stared at the Marquis of Ladd silently, silently.
Marquis Ladd had already realized that this "Silver Poem" was a metal puppet. The real Afaf was hiding somewhere and had not really appeared in three months.
"Your Majesty, it's snowing."
The new king "Sword of Redemption" Noah nodded and just said softly: "I understand."
In the past few months, Marquis Ladd always felt strange. Whether it was "Silver Poetry", the new king, or his old friend "White Spirit", none of them liked to talk.
In the end, I always speak alone.
What a group of incomprehensible guys. His patience was inexplicably exhausted. He shook his head, turned around and left the camp.
After a while, Marquis Ladd came back, looking bad and holding a letter in his hand.
"Withdraw the troops, I must withdraw the troops, Your Majesty."
"Why?"
The new king Noah raised his head and stared at Marquis Rad, with no emotion in his eyes.
"My hometown was attacked by the Fisher family and suffered heavy losses. Fisher's Byrne and Chris used some method to show up thousands of miles away. Damn it!"
If this had happened three months ago, Marquis Ladd would have been able to bear it, but after three months of siege with little progress, he was now eager to leave!
Noah didn't speak, just thinking silently.
The recent attacks have had almost no effect, because both sides of the battle have become passive, and it will not be effective if they continue like this.
But he didn't want to give up just like that.
But then a new noble came in and said that he needed to return to his hometown because the family's territory was attacked by the Fisher family!
Everything in the territory is the flesh and blood of the nobles themselves. They cherish their own interests more than helping the royal family win the civil war!
Noah did not express his position, but in the next few days, more and more nobles boldly expressed their desire to leave, and the morale of the entire army easily weakened.
Marquis Ladd was also shocked.
"Fisher family, those two people are really free to come anywhere across the country? How on earth did they do that?"
However, no matter what the truth is, one thing is now in front of them. Everyone knows that this siege battle will not continue.
Many nobles are also terrified deep in their hearts. They cannot figure out how the Fisher family did it? Obviously those two people have always been on the battlefield!
——
"The enemy has retreated!"
At the moment when the royal army retreated, the city that had been surrounded for a long time seemed to wake up from a heavy dream, blooming with unprecedented vitality.
"They finally retreated!"
"we won!"
"Great! Praise Benoris! Praise the Luomen family and the Fisher family!"
The citizens cheered loudly! I can't control my emotions at all!
The air in Benoris was filled with an indescribable joy, as if the emotions accumulated for countless days and nights were completely released at this moment!
People poured out of their homes on the streets of the city, with bright smiles on their faces and excitement in their eyes. They shouted loudly, and their voices gathered into a torrent that echoed over the city.
The children were running and playing on the streets, their laughter as clear and sweet as silver bells. They seemed to have completely forgotten the panic and anxiety before, while the adults gathered together, hugging and kissing each other, sharing this hard-won joy.
When night falls, people in the city light fireworks, and beautiful flowers bloom in the night sky.
"Finally got them to retreat."
Byrne took a deep breath in the living room of the Roman family manor. In the past three months, he and Chris ran behind the enemy's rear and wreaked havoc, gradually accumulating pressure on the mob.
Plus this heavy snowfall was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Finally, the Yardley royal family's troops withdrew.
However, he knew one thing very well, that is, the matter was not over yet.
"The war is not over just like this, but one thing is certain. They will not easily concentrate their forces to attack major cities. They are likely to enter a long period of tug-of-war and attrition."
