Watching Gelinon being transported down from the castle in a sling, Seching turned and grabbed Veen's arm.
He demanded harshly, "Are you truly surrendering, or are you faking it?"
Veen didn't answer, he just looked steadily into Seching's eyes.
After less than three seconds, Seching unconsciously released his arm.
"They're attacking the city so fiercely, without any sign of surrounding to intercept aid.
According to prior intelligence from the Saint's Grandson, Kasha County is the reinforcement from the Oslar Clan, and the Shattered Stone Noble is likely to move too."
Without answering Seching's question, Veen slowly analyzed the battle situation.
"At most, we can hold on for another three days, until February 24th." Veen looked at the wounded soldiers all over the city, paused, and said, "They deliberately controlled the speed, fearing that if they captured the castle too early, Little Mo Li wouldn't come."
