The soldiers were able to take a short rest after the great victory, but not the commanders.
Before everyone could even digest the food in their stomachs, P5092 called for an emergency war meeting.
The modestly sized command post was packed full of commanders and staff officers of all ranks.
Everyone was unsure why P5092 had summoned them. Didn't they just score a resounding victory?
Then P5092 swept his gaze across the officers in front of him and said, "Although we've just won a battle, everyone should understand that we'll have to face an even more brutal battle next. Time is tight, so I won't discuss it any further. We'll just assign the defensive tasks directly."
Everyone looked at one another and suddenly felt a sense of urgency. It was as though P5092 felt that a great disaster was about to befall the defensive position, and this left them even more puzzled.
