The Final Battle with the Faith Order, Part Five

Seeing Roger's little tricks, Santos chuckled and said nothing more, then led Mizhene to continue into the camp.

This campsite was converted from some of the town's residential houses. To ensure the campsite's safety, temporary walls were built around it using wooden planks and stones. There was an open space in the middle of these residential houses.

As soon as the group entered the camp, they saw soldiers standing in rows getting their meals in an open space.

The soldiers were chatting and laughing as they lined up, each holding two wooden bowls, one large and one small, with a spoon in the large bowl.

At the front of the column were three large wooden barrels, and several cooks in white aprons were serving meals to the soldiers.

The soldiers carried large bowls to the first cook who was serving food. The cook scooped out a large spoonful of steaming wheat rice from the large wooden bucket in front of him, which was also garnished with some carrots and chickpeas.

Next, the soldier carried the bowl to the second cook who was serving food. The cook scooped a thick, fragrant ladle from the wooden bucket and placed it on top of the wheat porridge.

The soldier glanced at the food in his bowl and exclaimed happily, "Wow, there's so much meat in this dish!"

The cook said with a smile, "This was specially arranged by the Regimental Commander. He told us to open all the canned beef we brought and cook a big meal for everyone."

This dish is so delicious! It contains beef, onions, cabbage, white persimmons, and squash—it's incredibly generous and tastes amazing!

In the last wooden bucket, the cook scooped a spoonful of soup and poured it into another small bowl in the soldier's hand.

The soup had an exceptionally rich aroma, which could be smelled even from far away in Santos and Mizhene.

The cook also said to the soldier serving the food, "This is cream of mushroom soup, specially made with the dried mushrooms and cheese we brought, and with plenty of White Sugar added. It's absolutely delicious!"

Just then, the battalion Detachment Commander of the camp received a report from his subordinates that the Regimental Commander had arrived, and he jogged over.

He ran up to Santos and saluted immediately. "Regimental Commander, what brings you here?"

It's getting late, how about we grab a bite to eat at our campsite?

The officers' meal included cream cake, and the brothers were all very happy!

Santos smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just came to check on how dinner was going and whether the soldiers had eaten a hot meal."

It looks pretty good now, so I won't eat here. I still have guests!

By this time, the soldiers had almost finished getting their meals, and one by one, carrying their sumptuous dinners, they happily ran to the side to begin their eating.

Because this was a Temporary Camp, many people didn't have seats, so most of them just sat on the ground, put their bowls on a rock, and started eating.

The simple dining environment did not dampen the soldiers' enthusiasm for the food; they chatted happily while eating.

Everyone was clearly delighted to have this hot and delicious meal, even more so than when they had won the battle earlier that day. The entire camp was filled with laughter and joy.

Seeing this, Santos nodded and said softly, "Good logistical support can make the troops more combat-effective. What the Duke said is indeed very true."

The two then toured the camp under the guidance of the Detachment Commander.

Mizhene gained some understanding of the Golden Sunflower Family's military system; the powerful combat capability of this force did not rely entirely on its equipment.

Their strength stems from multiple factors: excellent logistics, wise commanders, and a well-defined yet exceptionally harmonious atmosphere within the military.

For Mizhene, the Faith Order was the most united group he had ever encountered.

But now that he has witnessed the Golden Sunflower Family's army, he has to admit that they are clearly more united here, and he finds it quite amazing.

This made him feel a little bit of anticipation for joining the Golden Sunflower Family in the future.
