Chapter 271: Chapter 271: One Against Four

The siege outside the city had weakened slightly, signaling that the Sun Sect’s forces were not as numerous as he had previously thought. What should have been an overwhelming siege had now entered a wasteful phase that was costing lives.

The entire Fan Hede was like a meat grinder, with both Fan Hede soldiers and members of the Sun Sect pouring their lives into it, seeing who would be wiped out first. Chen Ke believed there was a high chance that the Sun Sect would break first.

After all, the worst fear for those attacking a city is the inability to achieve a swift and decisive victory; there’s even a saying in middle school Chinese textbooks, “With the first drumbeat comes vigor, with the second a decline, and with the third exhaustion.” The same principle applied to sieges.

Initially, when the city walls fell, the morale of the Sun Sect’s soldiers would be greatly boosted, and their killing intent would be at its strongest, pushing into the city and forgetting life and death.

Then, when their advance was stalled, ensnared in the close combat of the town, Fan Hede’s soldiers would make use of the city’s streets and layout to abruptly halt the previously unstoppable momentum of the Sun Sect, cutting their morale and confidence in combat by half.

Eventually, the Silver Knights entered the fray. Facing fewer in number but tremendously powerful Silver Knights, who could fight ten men each, the Sun Sect’s morale would plummet, leading to a reversal of the battle situation.

The current situation couldn’t be clearer; the Silver Knights, in groups of three, though not many in number, were hunting within the city, slaughtering squads of Sun Sect soldiers who had broken into the city, while the soldiers outside remained unaware of this, continuing to charge in.

The result was that the casualties of Fan Hede had dramatically decreased, and the losses of the Sun Sect had begun to mount.

The turning of the tide happened in an instant, and it seemed that their defeat tonight was inevitable.
