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.
