Eventually at the end of the storm there were only 65 people alive!
“My god! This is only the start and the damage is already huge.”
Kerberos sharpened his eyes.
However, being frustrated had to wait.
“Everyone in the party keep up your strength. We must hold out until the next group arrives.”
The vanguard was exhausted.
The situation was not good for the ones that were left.
“We need to hold out for four hours until the next group arrives. Until then, take it easy. Assassins and rangers should go scout the area.”
“Yes sir.”
“This is going to be merely reconnaisse, do not provoke any monsters.”
Many of the combat series users were either dead or disabled.
They would be unable to fight back if a large number of monsters come on a raid.
Suffering from cold and hunger!
Health and stamina recovery rates were not even half the normal amount.
They had to curl up and suffer until the next group arrives. The scouts from the vanguard cautiously spent their time. All of them were very afraid of monsters appearing. They were fortunate because there weren’t any monster attacks as time passed. Monsters in the north were known to be very strong and violent, but they also had high intellect.
Thanks to the passing ice storm, monster activity was considerably lower so there wouldn’t be any attacks. Some time later, the second group arrived and they began to set up camp. Architects set up temporary homes made out of chunks of ice. Since the houses were made out of ice they would expect it to be cold. Surprisingly enough it was warm because they started a campfire.
“Pile on more wood!”
