The soldiers on the siege ladders were immediately hit on the head and bleeding.

"kill!"

A large number of siege soldiers rushed out of the siege tower.

A charge towards the wall was launched.

The soldiers defending the city were not willing to be outdone.

They were on high alert and let out roars.

The fierce battle for the city wall began.

The battle lasted for more than three hours before it ended.

After losing two thousand siege troops.

The siege troops chose to withdraw.

The defenders also suffered heavy losses.

More than a thousand people were killed or injured.

In the afternoon, in the meeting hall of Fort Saint-Germain.

"Reinforcements, don't give me any nonsense, I just want reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?"

A huge roar echoed in the meeting hall.

The messenger who delivered the letter shuddered.

"Lord Alva, the troops of all the lords of the Iliad Kingdom have been dispatched to Splendor Castle. After receiving the Count's letter requesting assistance, the Duke immediately began to assemble a new army to support Anthem Castle, but this will take time!"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Alva, standing in front of the glazed window, had a gloomy expression on his face.

"how much time is required?"

"It will take about a month and a half!"

Hearing this, Alva laughed angrily.

"I'm afraid the Lord's newly formed army is used to recapture Fort Saint Anthem."

The messenger bowed his head deeply.

Even a fool knows that it is impossible for the kingdom's reinforcements to arrive in such a short time.

The army outside the city appeared too suddenly.

Alva still didn't react.

Fort Saint Anthem was already under siege.

He was simply unable to organize the manpower in his territory to fight against the invading enemy.

They can only be trapped in the Fort of Anthem.

"Once Fort Saint Anthem is breached, the Kingdom of Iliad will no longer have any natural defenses. What's the point of defending Fort Brilliance then?"

A hint of hesitation flashed in the messenger's eyes.

He took out another letter from his pocket.

"This is a letter from the Prime Minister to the Earl!"

Prime Minister?

Alva hurried forward and snatched the envelope from the courier.

He opened the envelope and read it.

The content of the letter made Alva's expression darken.

No reinforcements were able to arrive before Fort Anthem fell.

The prince also considered withdrawing troops from the Brilliant Castle.

But now the coalition forces of the two kingdoms and the coalition forces of the three kingdoms are confronting each other in Brilliant Castle.

More and more troops from both sides are gathering towards Brilliant Castle.

The combined forces of the two kingdoms were already less powerful than those of the three kingdoms.

Once the Iliad Kingdom withdraws troops from the Splendid Castle.

The coalition forces of the three kingdoms will immediately attack the city.

The purpose is to prevent the Iliad Kingdom from withdrawing troops from the Splendor Castle to support the Anthem Castle.

The Fortress of Saint Anthem could not be defended at all costs.

All we can do is wait for the Battle of Splendid Castle to end.

Once the two kingdoms' coalition forces win.

The Fortress of Holy Song can naturally be conquered.

Chapter 533 Serena's Awakening

"The Prime Minister also said that if Earl Alva could hold on for another half a month, there might be a turning point!"

Alva frowned slightly.

He looked up at the messenger who was kneeling on the ground.

"reason?"

The paper doesn't say anything about it.

"The demihumans from outside the realm are gathering their forces to attack the Three Kingdoms from the south. I'm afraid they've already engaged. The coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms are stationed on the Altai Plateau, leaving their rear defenses empty. They can't withstand the demihuman army. If the rear becomes critical, the troops outside the city will have no choice but to withdraw!"

Hearing this, Alva understood.

The southern continent has been thrown into chaos because of the rebellion of the three kingdoms.

Fortunately, the subhumans are still on the side of the loyalists.

This prevented the two kingdoms from fighting alone.

What we are fighting for now is a time difference.

And time is on the side of the loyalists.

Once the subhumans attack from the south.

The Three Kingdoms will be besieged by the Loyalists.

By then, the scales of victory will tilt towards the loyalists.

Alva waved his hand slightly.

"Go!"

The messenger quickly got up and left in a hurry.

Alva turned and looked at the smoke-filled south city wall.

Stick to it for half a month?

Alva smiled wryly.

Not to mention three months, it is unknown whether it can last another five days.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came from afar.

A graceful figure entered the meeting hall.

She was wearing a purple, tight-waisted, low-cut, aristocratic long dress.

Her long brown hair was curled on her head.

The towering chest looks quite spectacular.

The touch of white and the ravines added a bit of charm to her.

A trace of sadness appeared on her flawless and beautiful face.

"Madam, why are you here?"

The sound of footsteps behind him made Alva turn around and look.

Seeing his wife coming, he hurried to greet her.

Alva couldn't help but hold his wife in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Madam. We can't defend Fort Saint Anthem anymore. Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to escort you and the children out through the secret passage."

Anthem Castle can fall.

But he would never let anything happen to his wife and children.

As long as the lady and the children are still alive.

The Alva family's inheritance continues.

"No, let the children go, they have grown up and no longer need our protection!"

Serena looked at her husband with a determined look.

Alva wouldn't leave.

Serena knew it well.

As his wife, she would not abandon her husband and live alone.

"No, Serena. As your husband, it is my responsibility to protect you. I cannot drag you to be buried with Saint Anthem Castle."

How could Alva bear to let his wife stay and die with him?

The kids do grow up.

But they are not yet able to live independently.

Children need their mothers and cannot live without them.

Although he was very happy that his wife had the courage to die with him.

But I am happy.

He would never leave his wife behind just because he was happy.

Serena reached out and cupped her husband's face in her hands.

"Father will take good care of them, dear. I am your wife, you should respect my decision!"

"But...but!"

"No buts!"

Serena stood on tiptoe and kissed her husband on the lips.

Alva held his wife's waist tightly.

Kiss hard, kiss hard.

After a long time, the two separated.

Their eyes met, and the two smiled at each other.

"I will pray to His Majesty the Demon King that no disaster will befall the Anthem Castle until the end of my life!"

With that, Serena turned and left.

Alva looked at his wife's departing back and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He reached out to grab something.

But he withdrew his hand.

"kill!"

Before dark, the battle began again.

There was a rumble of artillery fire outside the South City.

Outside the city, the overwhelming enemy forces attacked the city walls.
