Chapter 103 - Dismantled

The time it took for wars to end, whether small battles or prolonged conflicts, was determined by numerous factors that shaped their outcomes. Different strategies had to be employed for sieges and direct skirmishes. In sieges, the plan often involved a time-consuming strategy to steadily weaken the enemy by cutting off their supply of water and food, which sustained the citizens within the walls. The attacking force also had to maintain strict control over communication and logistics to efficiently supply its troops and quickly detect any enemy plans. These facts could lead the conflict to extend for days and even months.
