Chapter 799: Section 538: The Woods are a Hut Without a Roof (Part 1)_2
His words made Link nod continuously with a smile: "Yes, exactly, my grandfather used to say the same thing. He said that none of us kids died, so the battle report must be true."
"What are you talking about, young fellas?" The commander came over: "This time we only had seven casualties. I can hardly believe we were dealing with Chaos. But the gunfire from the east is intense, our enemies must have moved there."
"So, commander, do I need to take a squad there for support?" Link Svenson asked.
"Trying to show off?" The bald commander sized up Link, just when Sudel thought that Link might be scolded, the commander actually started laughing: "Really, it reminds me of my youth, always eager to earn military glory. Back then, we were fighting zombies and the savage tribes from the North. Svenson lad, if you want to go, take your personal troops along with my two platoons and have a look. If the situation is alright, let my men come back."
"No problem, your excellency! Can I bring him along?" Link Svenson was overjoyed, then he made a new request.
Sudel thought this guy was really bold. Wasn’t he afraid that the commander might scold them in anger?
"He’s a soldier under Lord Malin. If you take him, you’re responsible for his safety. If something happens, I believe Lord Malin will definitely flay you." Although the commander didn’t seem to refuse, Judge then happily returned to his defense line, calling up his two hundred private troops, and the two platoons from the commander’s side also arrived.
Sudel had Carter take charge of the team, then brought along his cousin Rhodes.

To say they were heading east, actually, the defensive line here had already been completely constructed. Sudel, leading Rhodes and Link, walked at the forefront. This stretch of trench, buried underground and originally used as a hiding bunker, was meant to save soldiers from freezing to death during the coldest nights of winter.
Now, wounded soldiers were everywhere, indicating that the battle in the east was extremely fierce. Upon hearing that a reinforcement force from a nearby defense line of their 500-man troop had been redirected, the gendarmerie opened up the passage.
