Chapter 339: Night Raid
Iron Sand Fort lost more than half of their soldiers on the second day of the battle. Most of their casualties were cavalrymen, followed by the foot soldiers.
Now, they were only left with a little less than four thousand warriors. With their current numbers, stopping the advance of Harune’s army was impossible. Their only hope was for more reinforcements to arrive. However, they might have to wait for two more days before help would arrive. Given their current situation, it was impossible to hold on for another day.
Marco wanted to get some sleep that night after the second battle, but negative thoughts kept him awake. He hadn’t slept for a few days now so his body wasn’t recovering well.
I only recovered a fifth of my mana. By tomorrow, I might not be able to recover half.
His face darkened as he thought of this. His strength was needed for tomorrow’s battle, but he wasn’t in his best condition.
Unable to sleep, he stepped out of his tent and decided to get some air. The pungent scent of blood still lingered in the air, but he had already gotten used to it.
A few meters away, he saw his troops resting in turns. Those who were on night duty had dark circles under their eyes, clearly exhausted and deprived of sleep. He felt pity for them, but they couldn’t leave the fortress unguarded.
While he was inspecting his soldiers’ condition, he suddenly sensed something unusual.
Hm?
He hurriedly jumped on top of the broken wall and stared in a certain direction with narrowed eyes.
With his keen perception, he noticed a weird energy blocking his senses.
