Not only were the soldiers complaining, but many commanders also were filled with resentment. Some secretly approached Zhao Changhe multiple times to lodge their complaints. Zhao Changhe simply responded with a question that left them speechless: "What can be done? Can we conjure food out of thin air? This is Tie Muer's mutual destruction strategy. We can only compete to see who can endure more."
That being said, Tie Muer's side was also suffering, but at least they still had food for now, while we are on the brink of starvation, isn't it?
"Don't worry, according to the pace we're marching, we're almost at their Divine Mountain..."
"But they might not protect the Divine Mountain. If the people have left and the mountain becomes empty, we'll starve to death there. Are we supposed to hunt tigers like Your Majesty did back in Beimang?"
"That was Your Majesty's task, not mine, thank you."
