Kapitel 407: Adapting to the situation

People tended to get fatigued very easily when fighting a battle. On the battlefield, one couldn't sleep in peace, and only true warriors could endure such mental exhaustion.

As the third night approached, Zhang Xiaoman ordered a firearms inspection while he gave everyone a pep talk. "I want all of you to fill your magazines to full. We'll be putting an end to this battle tonight. I know you're all exhausted—"

"We aren't, Captain." Jiao Xiaochen chuckled and said, "Ren Xiaosu has been forging a safe path forward for us on the front lines all this while, and we're just here acting as his support, so we don't feel tired at all."

Zhang Xiaoman was speaking his most commonly used lines to motivate the troops before the final battle. Essentially, the closing stages of a battle was when it would get most dangerous, so he was hoping to lift the spirits of his troops and let them face the fight in tiptop condition.
