Emerging from the duke's study, Wang Zhong took a deep breath. The issue of troop reinforcements was solved—partially, at least. What remained a concern was the encirclement.
If he couldn't influence the decisions, at the very least he needed to take more troops with him.
As Wang Zhong pondered this, Ludmila came up to him, took him by the arm, and led him to the terrace next to the duke's study, "You know, with your brows constantly furrowed in worry. Since these are issues that can't be solved right now, why don't you just do what you can handle first?"
"Mhm." Wang Zhong replied absently, gazing out at the scenery from the terrace.
At that moment, Petrov said, "Then I won't disturb you two any longer. I still have work at the headquarters."
"Goodbye." Ludmila waved and then poked Wang Zhong in the waist.
"Goodbye." Wang Zhong said.
