Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1456 Carissa held back her tears, trying to steady her breath. "So, have they been fighting at Atamore Mountain this whole time? The food supplies must have run out by now. What are they eating?"

"Don't worry about that," Winona replied. "The grassland tribes said they wouldn't offer help, but they sent all their dried meat to them. The army also has the rations and hard biscuits they brought. It should last a while.

"Plus, with the endless mountain range around Atamore Mountain and Ice Lake, they can hunt for food as long as they have weapons. They'll be half-starved, but they'll get by."

She paused for a moment, her expression darkening. "But I doubt it will last much longer."

"Sandoria can't hold out much longer either," Carissa said as she lifted her head, her voice steady despite her rising panic.

The two armies' positions were nearly the same, though the Southern Frontier Army was in slightly better shape. If Victor didn't get reinforcements or rations, he would have to face the Southern Frontier Army head-on.

There had to be a conclusion to the standoff-victory or defeat.

But with the forces scattered, reuniting would be difficult. It would make it nearly impossible to directly engage Sandoria's main forces.

How had they gotten caught in an ambush? Rafael wasn't the kind of person to let his guard down like that.

Suddenly, a thought sparked in Carissa's mind, her eyes lighting up with realization.

She quickly asked, "After the Southern Frontier Army was ambushed, were there many casualties?" Winona shook her head. "Not many. Just that their forces were scattered."
