"Cheer up, everyone!"
"Yes, sir," the soldiers replied numbly. The march of the past few days had left them exhausted, the cold made their legs feel like lead, their clothing wasn't very warm, and most of them hadn't had time to bring warm cotton-padded clothes when they evacuated. Food was also in short supply.
The Heinrich reinforcements who were supposed to meet them have yet to appear, leading the soldiers to suspect that they may have already returned.
Continuing towards the Heinrich military base was too difficult, while evacuating to the town on the spot would have been easy. However, Tachino ordered them to rush to the military base, which left the soldiers exhausted.
At this moment, Tachino, who had just finished his speech, was not as energetic as he appeared on the surface. In fact, he was in a particularly bad mood tonight. During the day, he learned that some people had deserted without permission, but the number did not seem to be many. It was difficult to count the number of people on the march. However, when the army set up camp at night, he found out that hundreds of people had left without a word when he counted the number of people.
This is definitely not a trivial matter. If it is not stopped, more and more people may flee. When I arrive at the Heinrich military base, will I be left as a commander without any troops?
But that wasn't the only bad thing. He had previously told the messenger lieutenant named "Morde" to go and tell the troops at the front to come and meet his unit, but he hadn't received a single message, let alone seen anyone.
This made Tachino suspect that someone was secretly sabotaging things, and there was only one person who could do such a thing: Harris.
I had a huge argument with him at the military factory before, and he left with a grudge in his heart. Now that he knows the military factory has fallen and he is leading his troops to retreat, he might have deliberately said some sarcastic things to Carter, the commander of the reinforcements, and secretly sabotaged them. That's entirely possible.
Tachino thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case. He gritted his teeth, first coldly glanced at the soldiers, and then looked at the snow-covered road.
"They're all a bunch of bastards!" he muttered under his breath, then turned and headed towards the tent.
