章 364: Chapter 344 Relief

Three months of besieged life had shrouded Banyoles City in a haze of gloom. Every day and night, the people within the city endured their lives amidst fear and anticipation, their existence eroded by endless anxiety and unease.

The erstwhile clamor of the city streets was gone, replaced by a silence only occasionally broken by the footsteps of patrolling troops and the distant rumbling of artillery fire.

The destruction caused by the battles fought by the Extraordinary Exponents was too vast. Although not a single Monarch powerful expert had perished in three months, and the city's barrier remained operational, the aftermath of a dozen battles had almost completely reduced the entire city to ruins.

The lives of the residents of Banyoles had become extraordinarily difficult, food and water extremely scarce. People had to rely on the army's rationing and limited reserves to sustain themselves.
