Chapter 228: War with Nemoris...[2]

It had been five days and Nemorian knights were still putting up a futile resistance at the boarder, especially in Garden city which separated Nemoris form Medoris. The Nemorian knights were waiting for reinforcements from Medoris. The rest of the kingdom had fallen all remaining members of the Nemorian royal family had either fled or been captured.

The holograms of the fallen were still hovering in the sky, they currently numbered up to four thousand. They were becoming less and less each day that passed as the Nemorians succumbed to Eldorian knights everywhere.

Dawn was breaking on the sixth day when the Nemorian soldiers in Garden city and citizens started to lose hope. There was no sign of back up, they were running out of food and weapons.

The Nemorian soldiers had started using the people as shields, throwing stones and using pans for self defense.

The citizens that were used as shields couldn’t help cursing in their minds. Didn’t the Eldorians see that they also wanted to surrender but the soldiers were using them as shields?

If they had the guts, why didn’t they kill the soldiers and leave them out of it? News was out everywhere that the entire kingdom had been conquered and they were the last ones standing. The Eldorian princess had promised that their lives would not change after as long as they surrendered.

All that was going to change was their citizenship and they would have to learn new laws. Between being displaced and adjusting to new rule, they would rather adjust.
