The Alliance also paid an extremely high price for this: the fledgling Senas Alliance was severely weakened; the esteemed Naval Admiral General Pisani, who commanded the sea attack, also died in this battle.
However, the siege of Guidao City did not end there.
The siege lasted for another whole year and seven months, with the Empire both besieging Guidao City and engaging in a tug-of-war with the Alliance in the Mountain Front Territory, until the national treasury was completely depleted, the Imperial Army's morale was entirely exhausted, and Madman Richard chose to retreat south of the Shade Mountain Range.
Colonel Gaspard compared silently in his mind, discovering some similarities between the Bazenaur siege and the Guidao City siege—both were port cities under siege; the besiegers had a military advantage and initiated a blockade both from land and sea.
"However," Colonel Gaspard thought, "Bazenaur might not hold on for two years... no, it might not even hold until tomorrow."
