Chapter 80 One Day _2

Jeska's squadron was an exception, because with Caman in charge of the medical tent, the injured men in Jeska's unit had already received the best care they could get.

Winters thought for a moment, then asked Caman, "Should I send you a few more hands?"

Caman silently made a gesture of thanks.

"Fine, I'll pick a few reliable ones to send to you." Winters sipped his meat soup in small gulps and continued, "I'll take some men to dig graves in a moment, using the legion's burial rites..."

Andre burst into the headquarters, his nostrils flaring as he asked the blacksmith, "What's stewing today?"

"Horse meat," Berlion answered.

"When is it not?" Andre sighed and took a seat at the table.

Berlion served up a bowl of horse meat soup and placed it in front of Andre.
