The curtain of night gradually enveloped the Earth, yet it brought not a trace of peace to the stormy Tiandu.
The siege had reached its fifth day, finally arriving at the bloodiest and fiercest phase of the alley battle.
The Imperial Guard stationed in Tiandu scattered into various streets, engaging in street-by-street and alley-by-alley combat with the rebels who had breached the city walls. However, they were still no match for the endless numbers.
They had no reinforcements.
Yet the enemy's reinforcements kept coming in a steady stream, and their ammunition seemed inexhaustible.
Five thousand against fifty thousand.
This lopsided battle seemed destined for a predetermined outcome from the start.
That floating "palace" was utterly useless.
Though the starship serving as its foundation was still operational, only the reactor and anti-gravity device were functioning.
It was too old.
