Chapter 96 - Shadow Moon XXXVII (1/2)
Tom received the report and sigh, ”if even Gerry was wounded that badly the fight would have been tough” said Tom in his mind. ”Prioritized the recovery of our wounded they must be back on their feet within 24 hours.”
”Yes, sir.”
”The lack of information is giving us a hard time.” Tom now starting to missed Eve's real-time support.
Reports on the battlefield are continuously coming in. The people in the command center are all busy trying to summarize and categorized all the reports coming on the battlefield.
Tom was happy with the performance of the Army because even though they trained them well, only in an actual war they can truly be tested, and so far they are doing very well.
The Shadow Unit in this operation also started to move. Their job is to locate and give as much accurate Intel regarding the enemies.
Because in this fight the Army really comes in blind and only have the basic Intel to start with. And all other Intel is being collected in real-time during the raid. And from there they are building a solid Intel regarding the enemies one step of the time, or one fight at a time.
But Tom didn't complain, he chose to attack with those conditions to trained his men at the same time giving them an experience that they can use in the future. The loss was inevitable he was prepared for that the moment he made the decisions to begin the operations with minimum lintels. Of course, he could have chosen a more safe path like having the Shadow Unit paving the way for them. Like planting many bombs in the city and assassinating the leaders, or their men one by one. But doing so his soldiers would be accustomed to doing an easy job.
So he plans to give his soldiers a hard lesson and experience they will be able to carry for the rest of their careers.
And as Arc gives him full control of the Army he plans to give the best Army to his boss, not some mediocre Army who only knows how to do an easy job. No, he plans to create an ultimate Army capable of doing any mission regarding any conditions.
Arc was aware of what Tom is planing. His only concern is that Tom's real occupation is a trainer, not a commander or general who specializes in commanding the army. He didn't even have a real military strategist to help him, and without Eve he was a little worried about the assault on Enigma City. But he trusts Tom and the rest and deep down he also accepted the possible loss of men.
