Kapitel 586: Manor Defense (Part-6)

The lords of Zanzan and the lady of the house were the first to enter the manor, along with about twenty or so bodyguards accompanying.

And once inside, though the soldiers tried their best to secure all the entrances, their efforts proved futile.

Because they were really too few.

And it was this lack of numbers that made Cambyses inquire where were the rest of the reinforcements.

She guessed it had to be at least 6 am by now, and the army should have been here by now.

"The soldiers are still gathering downhill. But they should be making the climb as we speak!" Menes quickly answered the inquiry, though he sounded a lot less confident saying that second sentence.

One which Cambyses noticed and narrowed her eyes in anger, her pupils blazing with fury.

"Speak the truth! Where are the defenders? It's been so long and they are still not here? Why is it taking them so long?" Menes had never seen Cambyses have such a scary look as she shot these questions.
