Chapter 82: Watchdog of Humanity (8)

It was 2 in the morning when Kurz received the report about the night attack.
“D-Deputy Commander. We received urgent news.”
“Yeah. Considering the state in which you ran here, it must be huge.”
Contrary to when he was with his superior, Kurz was now talking in a casual tone. This is Kurz Schleiermacher’s usual demeanor.
Although he earnestly said ingenuine words when talking to his aristocrat superior, when he was only with the members of his unit, he acted like some uncle. This was a characteristic that formed as a soldier defending the fortresses. He couldn’t act like they were simple soldiers when they’ve been living together for over a decade.
The sergeant felt frustrated. Certainly, his attire was a mess since he had run here immediately after he received the message, but wasn’t Kurz more disorderly than he was? Kurz was sitting with his feet on the table and he was loudly chewing on dried meat. It was like he was experimenting with how far a human could go to look like a delinquent.
However, he must have been handling military affairs as he was looking at some documents with furrowed brows. A candle was lit this late at night. The sergeant felt confused about whether his superior was a diligent person or not as he gave his report.
“The enemy is attacking. A signal fire has been lit at the blue fortress.”
