Brigadier General Antonio felt remorseful for the death of his men. He considered them as his family, but because of his foolish choice, many of them died. If he could turn back time, he would have rejected Senator Louie's request. However, it was too late to back out now. He didn't want his men's sacrifice to be in vain so he could only grit his teeth and see the end result of his decision.
The old general gathered his remaining subordinates. He managed to regroup with seven of his men. "We have to leave now! Protect the senator!" The old general muttered in a grim voice.
The soldiers nodded their heads. "Yes, sir!"
The gunshots intensified as more enemy forces entered. Luckily for them, a few brave soldiers blocked them off which earned them enough time to exit through the back gate.
