Teluns City, under the relentless attack of the Orc Army, had finally reached the brink of collapse.
The outer city was already lost, and the inner city had several points of collapse. Apart from cursing the bureaucrats who had built the city walls, Marshal Hodge could do nothing now.
After much effort, they finally made contact with the outside world. The situation in the Duchy had somewhat improved, but the reinforcements still couldn't make it.
Although there were many troops gathered near Dapes, most of them were newly recruited soldiers. It was clearly too much to ask them to face off with the Orc Army in the open field.
The absolute gap in strength couldn't be filled just by trying hard. The Moxi Duchy could not afford the consequences of a military gamble, and the bureaucrats in the capital would not allow it.
Saying reinforcements couldn't arrive, the bureaucrats in the capital did perform some human acts for once. They allowed them to break out if the city fell.
