Every day resistance had many dead.
The Ottomans however had many more, since their pasha was sacrificing them without counting the bodies.
The only thing he wanted was to take the City no matter how many were its victims.
He did not want a second defeat by the free.
And when eight hundred more men came to strengthen the defense of the castle he became furious.
This is why he placed early April, eighty cannons and fiery mouths constantly launching the deadly shots over the besieged.
There was nothing else he could do.
Because he wanted to keep them at a distance.
Since he feared the unexpected counterattacks they made ​​within his camp.
Gradually he ceased any resupplying of the City since he could not confront them directly, he hit them indirectly to exhaust the people.
But the Governor continued to inspire the people.
And every fighter was with him.
Because they all saw the shield of Christiandom.
In this framework the ​​secret contacts were made.
At first he did not believe it.
The Holy League was inconceivable with all this.
But its spirit was already in his mouth.
And after a few games, the Governor realized that the chess player was from another era.
Future Memory.
The resistance would take meaning over the course of time and the everyday problems of life would no longer matter.
They had to hold on even more.
And of course until the end.
At all costs.
Because God wanted it.
And not only the people.
Because they had to give a battle for a crime against Humanity.
And no one else would give it.
Marco Antonio Bragadin urgently called Astorre Baglioni to discuss all three together the new facts.
They were no longer alone since they had future with them.
He didn’t hide anything from them.
And they took their decision.
They would be there until the end.
And would withstand everything.
To give time to the Holy League.
