I Become a Landlady in the Game World

There might be a chance.

Even if it drained him to the last moment, he wouldn't give up.

Right then, Jin Jingshan ordered a full-on attack by the army.

At his command, countless combat carriages, catapults, and crossbow carriages swiftly advanced toward the direction of the city gates.

Especially the combat carriages, which clearly aimed straight for the base of the city walls.

Arrows from the city walls were fired one after the other, targeting particularly the combat carriages and the soldiers commanding them.

Of course, the catapults and crossbow carriages were also dispersed quite a bit.

"Lord, there are too many of them, we simply can't beat them."

"Our manpower is too limited, especially after the soldier team fled, which included two to three hundred archers."

"Even if we have enough arrows, we lack manpower."

"If our counterattack speed cannot keep up with their attack pace, I'm afraid the final situation will be grim."

...

One after another, soldier team captains spoke to Viscount Robin.

In fact, their hearts were already in disarray at this moment.

Even though a giant magic array was protecting them, the protection was ultimately limited.

They were well aware that their biggest problem in Barnes Village was the shortage of manpower.

It was a simple truth everyone understood; how could Viscount Robin not know?

But continuous defeats made him realize that his current choice was to hold out as long as possible.

If only... the territory could have more people, he could organize a counterattack and defeat Ningshan Village soundly.

Thinking of those people, he also gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Even more hateful were Hope Village and now Ningshan Village taking advantage of the situation.

"Temporarily draft territory professionals and residents, mandatory conscription for everyone, especially mages, have them on standby at all times to channel magic power into the magic array," Viscount Robin told Foster.

"Yes," Foster worried internally, but still hurriedly agreed.

The order was quickly issued.

After the issuing, the entire territory was even more in panic.

"The draft order has been issued; I'm afraid our territory is in trouble this time."

"More than five thousand people ran away, now less than two thousand people are left in our territory, what can we do."

"I heard that just now four to five hundred soldiers went out, either killed or captured, and there are also a few hundred soldiers currently supporting on the city walls."

"The Lord has brought out the magic array, right? I heard it's an advanced magic defense array; it should be able to hold off, speaking of which our Lord is quite remarkable to have such an advanced magic array."

"Yes! So under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be any problems, but who would expect our Lord to be so reserved, allowing so many people to be deceived away, or if he hadn't been so severe on us on regular days, who would abandon such a strong territory!"

"Shall we go then?"

"It's mandatory! Can we not go?"

"Let's go! Maybe if we try hard we can still save it, and then we'll be the heroes."

"And also, if the city falls, our fate as residents won't be too good either, consider it as doing it for ourselves!"

"If only..." I had run away too.

These words were uttered by quite a few people.

But they were well aware, it was already too late.

Eventually, weighing the pros and cons, most of the people voluntarily headed toward the city walls, and those who were unwilling were also forced to go, even the old, weak, sick, and disabled; after all, even they could throw stones from beneath the walls.

With the support of a new wave of people, there was more activity on the city walls than before, but for the overall situation, it was still a drop in the bucket.

"Whiz whiz whiz!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sounds of weapons smashing against the city wall's protective shield were varied.

And each type signified the damage these weapons did to the city walls.

Destruction and restoration during this period, became a constant state for the city walls.

Time was passing, but the attack was not ceasing.

The soldier team from Ningshan Village and their mercenary team also realized the exhaustion of Barnes Village during the attack and fought even more bravely.

Even with the rest periods for the troops, their output against Barnes Village's walls still reached eighty percent of all their personnel.

You see, this time Ningshan Village brought over three thousand people, all professionals.

In stark contrast, the light from the advanced magic array was getting weaker.

As the mage beside Jin Jingshan had said earlier, even an advanced magic array attached to a magic scroll has limited magic power.
