The Lord was actually still trying.
But very soon, the residents rushing up from below the city wall shattered that bit of hope.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, the Lord has already run away."
"After looting all our property, the Lord fled. He abandoned us."
"There's no point in defending anymore!"
"He must be trying to destroy us."
"Surrender, hurry up and surrender!"
"..."
For a moment, the soldiers couldn't help but exchange helpless glances.
They knew every word being said, but somehow, when put together, they just couldn't comprehend it.
When later, some soldiers' families arrived as well, the soldiers' last bit of spirit vanished altogether.
The Lord had given up on the territory, given up on them.
They were already discarded pieces!
In this situation, did resistance have any meaning?
No! No meaning at all!
Many soldiers had already given up resisting, deep in their hearts.
But at that moment, they suddenly realized something.
