Another day had passed The senior officers and I led by Martin Luther were sitting together to go over our coain so as to not miss out on any details
A hest speed with the intel that just came in his hands
”Looks like on't have any problelanced at the paper quickly and said to everybody, ”They are approaching us at the assumed speed and schedule, and have also lost a few hundred men They'll be here in a while after dark What a bunch of cooperative guys”
”Boys” Martin Luther claimed, ”This battle is one that involves life and death! Buckle up!”
I intended to say encouraging words after looking at these warlike young h the words that came out became, ”Carry on, I'll see all of you in the celebration party!”
I gazed carefully at each of them and tried to remember their faces
”Yes, sir!”
They were dis behind
I hadto ht this battle by utilizing infantry operation methods
To carry out that plan would certainly be troublesome However, the taste of victory that would result fro, which when compared to any trouble, orth a whole lot more
Like the newly built camp that we spent the whole day on, it was not far from the battlefield ere at yesterday
Its size and exterior appeared the same as the one we had assaulted yesterday, plus, we added certain 'structures' toallies were as welcomed as old friends who had returned home
”What's on your mind?” Martin Luther asked
”I' the addition of a team of sappers dedicated to such jobs” I aimed at the new camp and said, ”Any laymen work much slower than the professionals”
”Oh?” Martin Luther was a bit surprised, ”You are actually not thinking about the battle at hand?”
”What are you so worried about?” I looked at his eyes and gave him a smile, ”We will surely win”
It was not soe battle was soh plan could aluarantee a victory
”Hahaha!” Martin Luther's laughter was always incredible, ”Let's go! We should be prepared”
I cursed the weather
I rode a dull horse with full body covered in iron arh it was an empire-standard armor for middle officers, the handiwork of it was not pleasant The stitches were rough and the closures orse The space between each piece of arh
The as getting heavier mixed with pieces of sands I couldn't help but lower s of dyed brown hair escaped from the armored spaces and fluttered mischievously
I had been waiting there for a while, and waiting was one of the things that annoyed me the most
My steed neighed and tossed its neck Then a burst of depressing neighs and the sound of hooves were brought in by the night breeze
”Feeling tense?” I murmured to my lieutenant next to me, ”Just the two of us”
”A… bit!” His sound slacked in the wind, ”I'm not afraid, anyway”
”Bear this in mind” I tapped his shoulder, ”We two are the key to today's victory”
The lieutenant nodded and said, ”Sir, I understand! I'lad to be the one to handle your operation I'ht”
”Good, let's go”
I kicked the horse and neared acavalry band Kirk followed
I held the reins and approached them leisurely
Kirk went ahead and deployed an infantry flag down the wind to reveal our identity The flag was found in the camp we attacked yesterday on the watchtower It was brand new compared to its previous dead owner
The two parties were close enough to see each other clearly I saw a band of fifty, nearing sixty Kirk began to swing the flag in a particular pattern, and the other team replied with the same style of actions
We passed through each other and turned around to meet their chief officer
”Vanguards?” I shouted
”Positive! Are you the cauys?” Their officer replied, and I sensed a trace of exhaustion from his voice I noticed his distinct khaki armor It was enchanted
”Sure!” I lifted ?”
”They are catching up” His thumb pointed at the back, ”Tons of trouble! damn!”
”Kirk!” I showed my liberal sympathy to the enemy officer and called my lieutenant, ”You take our brothers ahead and tell ht up Get the food and shelter ready!”
”Roger!” Kirk nodded and dashed aith dozens of 'brothers', which left the ene for the main force with me
”Sir, as the trouble you were talking about?” I asked the khaki-armored man
”Don't ask, ere fucked!” He spat hard into the air, ”Things were good e got in The returning, not so men from the sky and sandman in the sands! We were dead tired and lost a few hundred brothers!”
”It's good to have you back!” I comforted, ”I'll let you have a rest in the cay!”
”You don't know” He took off his heleneral Harric's temper… we are lucky not to have returned empty-handed”
I had no idea what he was talking about
He was probably thinking about his business at home and kept silence In time, both of us were silent
”They are here!” The vanguard leader showed
