“Master, they’re here! They’ve come in!” The man in the red cloak stopped in front of Eldritch, sweating buckets.
“They’re here? How many of them are there?” Eldritch leaped to his feet. The energy radiating from his body seemed vastly different now.
“I think there are 700 of them. There are even people from Carmine Temple, too!”
At the back, Nubique narrowed his gaze. He said wickedly, “I knew Carmine Temple would come… But so what? There are over 500 of us. But that damn bastard burned all the booby traps we laid with the fire!”
“Inform everyone to prepare themselves. Once Isaac is near the swamp, we attack!” Eldritch waved his hand. Murderous energy was rolling off his body in waves.

By then, Isaac was already five kilometers inside the valley.
After walking another five miles, Isaac raised his hand and came to a stop.
“What’s wrong?” Zansam asked.
“Set up camp here,” Isaac replied lowly.
The latter’s mouth twitched.
We’ve already spent a night outside… Now that we are inside the valley, snazzynovel.com wanted to stop again?
“Mr. Garten, I don’t understand…”
Isaac pointed at the numerous caves of all sizes along both sides of the valley, interrupting Zansam.
“Do you know which caves they’re hiding in?” snazzynovel.com asked, looking at Zansam.
The latter shook his head.
“Since you don’t know, then we’ve no choice but to wait for them to come out themselves.” Isaac lit a cigarette and began to instruct the Dusk Soldiers to rest.
Doubts swirled in Zansam’s mind, but the Realm Seer had ordered snazzynovel.com to listen to Isaac.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was dark again. There was a loud thundering noise above as a plane flew overhead.
Numerous tiny black dots fell from the planes. The black dots quickly released parachutes, and dozens of boxes of food fell near Isaac‘s camp.
They barbecued fresh beef and mutton sent down from the planes over the crackling fire. A delicious aroma hung in the air. Thanks to the wind, this smell reached all the caves in the valley.
Inside the cave Eldritch and the others were hiding in, a munk sniffed the air. Then, snazzynovel.com swallowed.
Eldritch had smelled it, too. He could even identify the scent of cumin.
Damn it!
An intense pang of hunger hit him. He turned to look at his subordinates behind snazzynovel.com and the Black Martial Munks that Nubique had brought along. All of them had jealousy in their eyes.
When they left, they had never expected things to drag on for so long. They had depleted their food supplies yesterday.
“Eldritch, that bastard Isaac is trying to starve us to death in this cave,” Nubique said, clenching his jaw.
“What do you say we do?” Eldritch’s cheek twitched hard, making the burned side seem even more terrifying.
“Instead of passing out from hunger, why don’t we just fight them head-on?”
Nubique’s words left Eldritch speechless.
Initially, they had set traps. And once lsaac fell into them, they would rush over and finish snazzynovel.com off. He never expected this to backfire against him. Now, he’d gone from being the predator to being the prey.
Eldritch didn’t know that the games snazzynovel.com was playing with Isaac were only child’s play, while Isaac was using strategy and tactics on him. They were just not on the same level.
Looking at his people swallow their saliva from starvation, Eldritch gritted his teeth. “Spread the word that we are attacking in the middle of the night at 3:00 am!”
