章 267: No Plan Survives First Contact With The Enemy

(Brendan POV)

"Get those boxes of pills delivered right now! They may be on us at any minute!" I yelled, giving directions to the orderlies that were keeping the field hospital functioning.

We had taken over one of the larger houses at the very edge of the town and moved all the beds we could here in preparation of treating the wounded. The good thing was that a rather tall bell tower was attached to the side so I could actually climb it and get a view of where the battle would take place from here.

Before the sun had even risen, everyone had been called to alert as the scouts had reported that the sounds of the Dongs mining on the other side of the tunnel had stopped.

Since they most likely had multiple teams of miners working round the clock to speed up the process, for them to stop completely must mean they were getting ready to blast it open for their army to march forth.
