The Extra Wants To Live-Chapter 266: The Siege of Bursa [2]

The ministers, who had already heard about Siana, groaned with worried faces.

Judging from the state of Sultan Huseyin and Akhtal Nagshidil, their evil abilities seemed to be real.

This needed to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

"… Your Majesty, if you possess such great power, why not use it?"

One of the silent commanders spoke in a cautious voice.

"The fear of that power has already been clearly seen by all. It has reduced the clever Sultan Huseyin and the wise Akhtal Nagshidil to mere slaves."

"Slave? Please refrain from speaking."

One of the ministers sternly rebuked Sultan, who was of noble blood, and Akhtal, one of the spiritual leaders of Tumari, for calling them slaves.

But the atmosphere only became more depressed when it was revealed that they had actually become slaves.

"… With that level of power, wouldn't he be able to immediately appear on the wall and do whatever he wants with not just the soldiers but all of us?"

This time, even the commander had to be careful with his words, because 'all of us' included Yusuf, who would soon become Padishah.

"Whether there are limitations or powers beyond our reach, the power of the wicked heretic may be more limited than we expect."

Regardless of the careful expression, the meaning was conveyed to everyone.

Anyway, if he had that kind of power, there was no reason not to use it.

It had already been two days since Yusuf, who was the key to ending the war immediately and taking control of Tumari, appeared proudly and commanded the war.

And yet he didn't use that power.

"Well then, how about taking a more aggressive offensive? If the limits are clear, it's better to push through and break them down than to save strength."

"If the Master or Commander is manipulated without you noticing, it will be irreversible."

"It's still the same now. It's better to pound hard from all directions and cause more confusion."

"The reason we are taking a passive offensive is not simply because we are conscious of the power of the heretics, but also to reduce the damage to the people and make it easier to pursue the heretics if they escape."

"It may be that the heretic needs time to use his power. There is no benefit in giving him more time here."

Yusuf sat alone in a high place and watched his arguing ministers.

He watched all of this silently and slowly opened his mouth with deep, sparkling eyes.

"We will begin an all-out attack as soon as the sun rises tomorrow."

The noisy conference room became quiet with Yusuf's one word.

"One, I won't attempt a reckless attack thinking I can take it down in one go."

"I will accept some damage, but I will not attack to the point where I will be overwhelmed by the losses."

Yusuf's ambiguous orders, given by a man of outstanding military talent, were somewhat disconcerting.

If you're going to do it, you have to do it properly, but why was this such a vague attack order?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

But no one dared to contradict Yusuf.

The power of the Emperor that Madius created with his monstrous political power paled in comparison to the power that the Padishah of Tumari held.

This was because the foundation of Hardion was an empire in the form of a federation that united several countries and ethnicities, while Tumari was originally a country founded by an absolute monarch.

In the early days of Tumari, many states were established by monarchs who united several tribes and declared themselves sultans.

But they were all one people, living on one land.

Ultimately, under the first Padishah who founded Tumari, this vast land was united, and thus the power of the Padishah was absolute.

Therefore, Yusuf, who had already received the support of all the nobles of the Arbana River basin, the ministers of the central political circle, and even the military, could not be opposed.

In the face of this absolute power, and because everyone knew that Yusuf, despite his youth, was wise and clever enough, his orders were carried out without opposition.

The general assault that took place the next day pounded the walls of Bursa relentlessly with a force that could shake the heavens and the earth.

More than 30 wizards surrounded the castle from all sides, attacking the walls and eroding them.

The catapult hurled countless round rocks created by the wizards of the earth.

The Master, who had climbed the siege tower, took the lead and swept over the walls, with the soldiers following behind, and eventually almost captured the top of the eastern wall.

However, the masters and high-ranking warriors who had already lost their minds due to Siana fought like berserkers without fear of death.

"Order retreat!"

Yusuf, who was looking at Bursa where the battle was taking place from a distance, tapped his golden staff, and the order to retreat was given.

The eastern wall had almost been taken, so it seemed like the battle would end at any moment, but the enemy's resistance was so strong that it was difficult to open the gate.

Yusuf ordered a timely withdrawal before further damage could be done.

However, this was a very unsatisfactory situation for the military commanders.

They had almost captured the eastern wall, so if they just attacked a little more, they would definitely secure victory.

Since it could definitely end things, it was right to accept some damage.

But seeing them step down, it seemed that their lord, who would soon become Padishah, was too sympathetic.

Yusuf's army had consumed a lot of supplies, and his soldiers were exhausted.

However, the actual casualties were relatively small considering the reckless all-out attack.

On the contrary, Bursa's forces suffered terrible losses, and its walls and gates were left in tatters.

It looked like they would definitely be able to capture it with one more attack.

Everyone expected Yusuf to take his time and eat away at the enemy, and in response, Yusuf gave the same order once again.
