#Chapter 105: The Suicide Squad (7)
It had been five days since the battle for Jeomchang Mountain began.
Despite losing seven or eight hundred men, the Ten Demon Clan refused to give up.
They managed to fend off each enemy assault, but their unease grew as time dragged on.
The reason was simple: no true master like the Bloodline Elder they’d seen on the first day had appeared.
In other words.
‘Just as expected of those demonic bastards, they’re grinding down their manpower.’
It meant the Ten Demon Clan was planning a war of attrition.
To do that, they were conserving their masters.
They probably sensed our supply situation was dire.
The problem was, even knowing their intentions clearly, we had no choice but to be dragged into it.
When they come charging in with weapons, you can’t just not fight, can you?
Because of that, the entire garrison grew more exhausted by the day.
All supplies, including weapons, were depleted.
Long ago, the Green Dragon Sect had run out of poison and hidden blades, long since replacing them with blades carved from coins and iron chopsticks.
Swordsmen and dagger-wielders faced the enemy with weapons missing teeth.
The most pressing problem, of course, was food.
A master could endure without eating for half a month, but that was literally just enduring.
It was difficult to muster proper fighting strength.
In desperation, they hunted wild beasts, but that wasn’t enough to feed over a hundred men properly.
Developing a technique to convert internal energy into calories was indeed urgent.
