Kapitel 606: Chapter 11 Quicksand_3

In the adjacent cell was the sergeant Ivan from Revodan, infamous for the saying, "drunk men inevitably beat their wives."

However, Peter could hardly recognize Ivan any longer; the Ivan of the past was a burly, crude, and irascible sturdy man.

The Ivan of today had become so emaciated as to be almost unrecognizable, and the savage vigor he once possessed had been ground down to nothing. All that remained in his eyes was endless weariness.

"You... you..." Ivan's lips trembled, his voice even carried a sobbing tone, "you... how did you end up here too..."

The officers stationed at Revodan were all gathered in a room for a meeting.

There was only one item on the agenda: the "bandit problem."

The forced conscription leading to bandit uprisings was an inevitable situation.

The stance in Revodan was to suppress when possible and use it as an opportunity for training; if they couldn't catch the bandits, then there was no help for it.
