Just when the Correa army was about to swallow Pesanis in one fell swoop, the surprise soldiers of the Holy Cult Army's sneak attack on Solandaniel were also actively rushing to their destination. Correa's territory is so vast that she often walks all day without seeing half a figure, which also happens to facilitate surprise attacks. If it were in Pesanese, which is small and densely populated, I am afraid that such a possibility does not exist at all.

Upon his return to the city of Salem, Savin convened a military council, in which he told the people about his disposition, demanding that the major cities remain on tight defense and not allowed to go out of the city to fight, and that Savan had the Fourth Army of Lothrian, as well as his First Army, prepare to take action to divide and surround the Correan army.

Soon after the meeting, the two legions of the Holy Cult were mobilized, and Savin and Losrian divided their forces into small groups and left the city of Salem in batches, outflanking the Correa in a very stealthy way. At the same time, Sahain also ordered Hortz's Second Army and Lyanna's Third Army to block the border from the south and west, and a large net was quietly spreading.

At the same time, Correa's army also launched an operation, capturing several important strongholds on the northern border of Pessanis, and then targeting Sado, an important city north of Pessanis.

Sado is not only an important food production area in Pessanis, but also a transportation artery to Correa, and the Correa army has a logistics base when it is occupied, which is of key significance for the occupation of the entire territory of Pesanis. Correa's army surrounded Sado's regiment and tried to cut off all supplies in the city so that they could force Sado to surrender without blood.

The governor of Sado, Xelos, sent a distress message to the royal capital at the first time, and he looked at the black army outside the city as if he had seen the end of the world. To be honest, Xelos didn't dare to expect much from the rescue of the royal capital, and even if reinforcements arrived, he might not be the match for Correa's army. No one on the mainland knew that the cavalry of the Correa Army was invincible, and Pesanis was only a medium-sized country, and it could not be the opponent of the Correa Army in any case.

Although he did not dare to hold out much hope, Xelos still did his job very seriously, and he arranged for the defenders to strengthen the defenses on one side, and on the other hand, he concentrated all the food in the city, and implemented a supply system, with food rationed for each person per day. Xelos did everything he could, and the rest of his life was to pray to Heaven for protection.

The siege lasted until the tenth day, but there was still no sign of reinforcements, and some riots had begun to appear in the city, and some outlaws were looting food, but they were soon suppressed. Seeing this, Xelos began to become worried, and he even had plans to surrender Kaesong. But he surrendered without fighting, so that he still had the face to live, so he had to continue to persevere.

That morning, Xelos had just gotten up and was in a cold sweat from the soldiers who had rushed to report.

"Your Excellency the Governor, there's a situation!!," the soldier shouted, making Xelos feel his heart pounding.

"What...... Miscellaneous...... What's the situation? "Xelos decided he was about to lose his breath.

"Yes...... Be...... My lord. The soldier swallowed a dry throat, and then said, "Correa, Correa withdraw!"

Xelos blinked, and for a moment he couldn't react, and he asked, "Are you saying that the Correa army has begun to attack the city?"

"No, no, it's not a siege, it's a retreat!" the soldier hurriedly corrected.

"What!" said Xelos stood up, his face full of disbelief. The soldier who reported the news rolled his eyes and said to himself, "Is the Governor stupid?" ”

Xelos hurriedly followed the soldiers to the city, only to see that the camp of the army, which had been black and oppressive like a sea yesterday, had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the garbage on the ground and the machinery and supplies that had not had time to be taken away. Correa set fire to what they couldn't take away, and the billowing smoke shot into the sky.

Xelos's eyes widened, he couldn't believe the facts in front of him at all, yesterday he was still in a menacing posture, but today he ran away without a trace, what was going on behind this? After regaining some composure, Xelos hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, go and write a letter to report to the royal capital! In addition, immediately send someone to inquire and see why the Correa army has withdrawn." ”

The soldier was about to leave, but was hurriedly stopped by Xelos: "By the way, send someone to see where the Correa army has gone! Also, immediately send someone to the nearby town to find food!

Soon, Xelos received definite news that the Correa army had withdrawn to the north and seemed to have the intention of returning home. This news made Xelos very confused, obviously he would be able to defeat Sado soon, why should he give up suddenly, this can't be some trick.

The more Xeros thought about it, the more strange it became, so he summoned the general of the defenders and asked him to immediately recall the soldiers who had slackened again, while emphasizing that the guards should not be relaxed in the slightest. This order made the defending generals very annoyed, and the two sides had a big quarrel for this, but in the end they had to carry out the order, after all, the official was crushed to death.

The soldiers who were already preparing for the holiday heard that the vacation had been canceled again, and they were about to mutiny, but fortunately the officers stopped it in time. The soldiers who returned to the defensive post cursed in their mouths, and they couldn't wait to greet the eighteenth generation of the governor's ancestors, and it was no wonder that they had just relaxed after being nervous for many days, but they returned to their original state, and they probably couldn't be happy if they changed anyone.

It soon became clear that Xelos' caution was not superfluous, and just three days later on the night a Correa army returned again and launched an assault on the city of Sado. At night, under the city of Sado, the dense firelight was like the stars in the sky, and the long dragon composed of torches launched a fierce attack on the city wall under the urging of the war drums.

Fortunately, Xelos recalled the soldiers who were about to take leave, otherwise they would have been caught off guard by the Correa army, and the defenders were secretly glad that the governor had the foresight to anticipate the enemy's return. In fact, Xelos didn't know that Correa would kill a horseman, he just instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he made that decision.

Seeing that round after round of attacks were repulsed, Xelos broke out in a cold sweat, and he secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, I am cowardly, otherwise I would have been a prisoner of the Correa Army tonight, this is really a blind cat running into a dead mouse......"

The night's onslaught resulted in heavy losses on both sides, but the city was saved from being lost, and at dawn a soldier brought a pigeon letter, which Xelos opened and exclaimed. The letter was sent from the royal capital, telling Xelos to be on guard and not to let his guard down, as Corre's second team was likely to go and return.

The letter also told Xelos that Correa's retreat was due to the fact that Lord Sahain's First Army had already launched an attack on Solandaniel, so Correa would withdraw, but it was possible that they would leave their army behind to continue the attack, so they must not relax their defenses.

After reading the letter, it dawned on Xelos, it turned out that Solandaniel was attacked by a sneak attack and withdrew, but when did the first legion of the Holy Cult Army run to Correa? Xelos thought for a long time and didn't understand, but now there were not as many troops besieging the city as before, which made him feel a lot less pressure.

The Correa army attacked for several days, but still failed to achieve any results, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry, and seemed to be intending to capture Sado in the short term. Xelos was busy every day, but he was more confident than before in keeping Sado.

A few days later, a piece of news arrived, which immediately changed the situation on the battlefield, and the Correa army was defeated on the border between the two countries, and the entire army suffered numerous casualties...... At the same time as the news came, the Correa army besieging Sado also hastily withdrew overnight. It all happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned.
