Capítulo 567: Life Inside a Siege (Part-2)

As the blizzard died down after a few days, and once the surroundings started to change from hellishly cold to one that was just bitter, Cambyses felt the enemy pick up the pace of their attack.

It seemed Perseus was willing to try his luck at a second throw.

And so the attacks were restarted with renewed vigor while the wall defenders worked to keep the enemy at bay, staining the snow-covered ground with dead bodies.

While inside the city, the populace tried to make do with whatever they had.

Life was certainly not easy for them inside.

Though they were not starving, they were certainly hungry.

Because while the city still provided them with food, it was only one meal a day for everyone except the currently stationed defenders up on the wall who were actively fighting, this concession being so that they had the energy to keep on fighting.

Hence, the amount was just enough to keep them from starving and rebelling, but certainly not enough to sate their hunger.
