Regent King's Mansion, as the siege dragged on, some areas inevitably got overlooked, and pockets of rebels kept filtering in from time to time.
The strength of the Ling Army was faltering, outnumbered and overwhelmed by sheer volume, their tactic of inundation proving highly disadvantageous for the manor.
But this rate of attrition would leave everyone inside utterly exhausted.
Yan Sihan ordered the Ling Army to contract their defense; everyone abandoned the outer walls, retreating to the inner courtyard.
Upon this command, in but a moment, the entire Ling Army had retreated to the inner courtyard. No sooner had they left than the rebels swarmed over the outer walls, a dark flood swallowing the entire outer courtyard of the mansion.
Once everyone was defending only the inner courtyard, the pressure dramatically decreased since the defense line was now significantly shorter, naturally making it easier to hold.
