Chapter 964 - 964 115 Dizzy from Cured Meat

964: Chapter 115: Dizzy from Cured Meat 964: Chapter 115: Dizzy from Cured Meat “Kill!”

Accompanied by a battle cry, tens of thousands of cavalry appeared majestically on the horizon.

Even though the road was still muddy, it did not stop the cavalry’s charge.

Seeing the scene unfold before him, Carway decisively ordered, “Enemy attack, run towards the forest!”

As he spoke, he had already taken the lead and dashed back.

Desperate times were not the moment for Giants, starved for days and surviving only on wild vegetables and leaves.

How could they have strength to wield a sword?

For Giants of large stature, the Human cavalry posed little intimidation, but the enemy played dirty.

They did not wait to get close but welcomed them with Magic Crossbows.

The Giants who reacted a step too slow had turned into porcupines.

The remaining Giants burst forth with unparalleled speed and, for a short time, managed to outrun the cavalry.

However, this explosive sprint eventually reached its limit.

After rushing into the forest, the Giants sat down on the ground to rest.

Truly unable to run any further, the hunger-stricken Giants for two days could not sustain such high-intensity exercise.

While resting, the Giant soldiers kept busy by pulling up weeds from the ground to munch on or picking leaves from nearby trees.

Carway had the quickest reaction, claiming a tree bearing unknown wild fruits.

He picked fruits the size of his fist and fed them directly into his mouth.

A temporary solution, to replenish energy first.

Stomach padded, would enable them to have the strength to fight should an attack come.

As the Giants ran into the forest, those from different races trailing behind suffered greatly.

They had barely assembled when they were harshly battered.

In their frantic escape, to run faster, everyone threw away weapons in hand and armor on their bodies.

With stomachs growling and morale depleted, facing the Expeditionary Army’s Elite Cavalry empty-handed, the outcome was predictable.

Without needing commands, soldiers from different races chose to flee.

With formidable enemies ahead and pursuers behind, countless soldiers chose to temporarily take refuge in the forest.

The small forest quickly became a gathering place for the retreating soldiers of the Ancient Remnant Allied Army.

Without any surprises, the pursuing cavalry stopped at the edge of the forest.

The harassed and barely surviving Allied soldiers hadn’t even had the chance to feel relieved when they discovered a new problem–there was no water source in the forest.

With no food and no water, it was clearly a situation meant to drive them to death.

Realizing the problem, commanders from different races glared at Carway.

Being partnered with Carway was their misfortune.

Many were secretly annoyed at why they followed him.

Having ravished a tree of wild fruits and with his stomach a quarter full, Carway, somewhat embarrassed, looked at the commanders from different races and gave a smile uglier than crying.

He didn’t want to end up in this situation either!

But in this vicinity, this was the only patch of forest, the only place to hide from the pursuing cavalry.

“Look, everyone shouldn’t worry too much.

Reinforcements are already on the way.

Let’s rest here for now, and once the main army regroups, we can go for revenge!”

After speaking, the last bit of guilt in Carway’s heart vanished without a trace.

The conditions were a bit harsh, but it was still a way out.

As long as they persevered, they could make it through.

Without supply support, they’d eat tree leaves and grass, or even roots and bark if necessary.

Given the circumstances, Carway figured it was necessary to help his allies kick their picky eating habits.

Lacking a water source, it was time for the Water Element Mages to work hard on manually creating water.

The number of Water Element Mages in the Allied Army was limited and couldn’t fully meet the needs of the entire army, but they could help sustain them for a few more days.

Now was the rainy season, who knew, maybe it would rain again soon.

Even during their escape, brief showers occasionally helped cool them down.

Dragging out the days, waiting for the alliance’s reinforcements to arrive, everything would get better.

The only problem was that the surroundings were too open, with flat farmlands all around except for the small forested hill.

…

At the Ancient Heritage Alliance’s large camp, after a forced march, some species couldn’t handle it anymore!

War also tested one’s talents, not all species were combat races.

Limited by innate factors, some species’ armies could no longer keep up with the pace of the Allied Forces.

“The Allied Forces can’t afford to slow down now, we must even speed up the march,”

according to the latest news from the front line, our people are trapped in a small forest in Hank Ross province.

Without water and logistical support, the soldiers are only sustaining on sheer will.

If reinforcements are delayed, it’s highly likely the entire army will be annihilated,”

Snow Eagle King said with a solemn expression.

Though there were no Snow Eagle troops among the trapped, he still held a basic understanding of the overall situation.

With the Ancient Heritage Alliance already full of conflicts, if the trapped troops were annihilated, internal conflicts would further intensify.

Even if conflicts could be suppressed, the loss in military power could not be replenished.

The war had progressed to this point, and the alliance’s military power had already decreased by a quarter.

If they lost once or twice more, there was nothing to think about, just each goes their own way, preparing to migrate.

The struggle for dominance on the continent was an activity only the strong could participate in, the weak would merely end up as sacrifices.

“Snow Eagle King, we are aware of the issue you raised.

But, soldiers from different species vary in physical strength.

With prolonged forced marches, many can’t withstand it!”
