Half an hour later, the First Battalion returned safely to the Military Department's main camp.
They had been fighting in Guanghan City for nearly three hours. Adding in the travel time for the round trip, they didn't arrive back at the main camp until nearly midnight.
However, the main camp was brightly lit. The other battalions that had gone out were also returning one after another, and everyone was busy.
Tallying Merit, treating the wounded, and repairing armor—all these tasks had to be completed within a few short hours. On top of that, everyone needed to squeeze in time to rest, so many staff members were so busy they were running off their feet.
Even under these circumstances, the First Battalion's return still attracted attention from all sides.
It couldn't be helped. The First Battalion's previous performance had been too stunning. Forget the other Mercenary Corps; even high-ranking Military Department officials like Lin Zhengyang were keeping an eye on them.
