Chapter 210: Exorcism War (3)
“Ugh…”
An afternoon of utter exhaustion.
Waking from sleep, I lifted my head and looked around.
“……”
Everyone was fast asleep, save for a few on guard duty.
That included the officers, Yook Hak among them.
‘Well, after running around like that, they’d be exhausted.’
Twenty days since the war began, we had swept from Wudu County at Gansu’s southernmost tip all the way to Lanzhou, the provincial capital in central Gansu.
An advance spanning over a thousand li.
Dozens of battles.
Exhaustion had naturally reached its peak, and all of us from the Zhenwang Sect, myself included, had retreated into an unnamed mountain range to rest.
The effect was excellent.
Even if it was only for a single day. Simply getting enough sleep and eating warm meals had greatly improved the disciples’ complexions.
“I wonder if they’re doing okay though…”
Suddenly, I worried about the main force at Guryongseong.
The roads of this era, lacking even proper dirt paving, let alone rest stops, were vastly different from modern roads.
Marching five thousand li, even for warriors, was sheer madness.
For a moment, I worried about the main force, once my shared destiny, then shook my head.
“Well, they’ll manage.”
Worrying here wouldn’t change anything anyway.
Better to look after my own men right in front of me.
“Porridge again today?”
“Sir…!”
The soldiers eating their meal jumped up in surprise.
“Saluting while eating? Just came to see what we’re having, so don’t worry about it.”
