Bab 701: Reaction of Tibias's Court (Part-1)

If Lord Ponticus was asked to answer truthfully whether he really believed they could hold on for two months, he would have answered- 'Unlikely'.

He had far exaggerated the problems facing Alexander and knew the enemy might be ready to launch a full fledged attack before the end of next month.

This accelerated pace even surprised Alexander himself as he was able to make far quicker progress on the siege than he had originally thought.

The walls were built quicker, the ditch was filled faster and Tibias's resistance seemed far smaller than originally anticipated, possibly due to the effective use of his artillery.

And thus, Lord Ponticus could only urge Lapitus to not panic and train the men as quickly as possible.

While Alexander prepared himself with baited anticipation for the last phase of his plan to begin- the actual attack on the city.

As Alexander waited, the lord of Zanzan also received a very special letter from Zanzan.
