Turning Point [5]

The flames of the war raged on.

Casualties were the least of their priorities now. It was impossible to keep track of every soldier.

If they couldn't protect themselves, then they were worthless.

This cold logic wasn't present at first.

The first death, everyone was left in shambles as they started to panic.

And with the second death, fear started to grip their hearts as they began to hesitate whether all of this was worth it.

And they continued to fall, one after another.

The fifth demise.

The eighteenth.

The ninetieth.

.

.

Until their hearts grew numb. Watching their comrades they had spent years with, laughing, attending their weddings, witnessing the birth of their child, die just like that.

They had lost quite a lot of men. However, they gritted their teeth and persisted.

This was war.

Hesitate, and they would find themselves in the same place.
