The pack of Demon Wolves and Hyenas, as well as the Broodmother, wasn't the end of their battle.
Squad #1 faced more trouble along the way, ones that they couldn't avoid so they could only fight to eliminate them. The migrating Demon Beasts had completely forgotten what they were supposed to be doing, and it was because of the temptation of the dead Nightmare Worm.
The good news is, they're halfway out of the active zone. The bad news is that battles are getting worse, and it's draining their stamina pretty quickly.
Also, they're behind on their schedule because of the fights they had to go through. They're five hours in their patrol yet barely covering the 100th-kilometer mark on the route. They need to speed up or else they will fail this mission.
"Whew...there's just no end to them." One of his squad members sighed after killing the last of the hostiles, for now at least.
