"Can’t bear to leave?"
Standing beside Bard Walker, Ella Pemberton suddenly asked.
"How could I?!"
Sighing, Bard Walker tapped on the glass, his eyebrows locked tight.
"Some of them will come back," Ella Pemberton consoled.
"But those vanguards! Vanguards! How could they possibly come back?!" Bard Walker’s anger rose, and his voice unconsciously grew louder.
He had handpicked each one of them!
The departure of just one Calvin Ramos was painful enough; now, so many were leaving all at once—
Most maddening of all, even Rowdy Brightwill, whom he had high hopes for, had chosen to leave without a second thought!
How could Bard Walker’s anger subside easily?
They were all promising recruits, such fine recruits; he truly couldn’t bear to let them go.
"They leave, and new ones will come," Ella Pemberton softly said.
She saw the broader picture, not as heart-wrenching as Bard Walker’s, but still, she couldn’t bear it.
After all, they had been her soldiers for a time; how could she just let them go and truly be at peace with it?
They were good soldiers; this place couldn’t contain them, they would find a broader world.
Wherever they went, they would be loyal to the country.
As long as they had that heart, that was all that mattered.
Bard Walker was silent, saying nothing.
Joining the Frogman Forces, he had said goodbye to many, but still couldn’t get used to the departure of any soldier.
Yet, as Ella Pemberton had said.
Those who leave, leave; those who come, come.

The numbers won’t change.
Only, they won’t be the same people, and the feelings won’t be the same either.
The helicopter flew west.
Even from inside, one could distinctly feel the weather outside getting colder.
By afternoon, the helicopter finally came to a stop.
When they landed, all the sailors were stunned.
Vast mountains loomed, the hills rolled on endlessly, the snow was boundless, and the road was rugged.
The cold wind blew in their faces, howling halfway up the mountain, as if it could carry someone away.
The place they landed was relatively spacious, but on this stretch of land, aside from their footprints, there were no other traces, not even those of wild animals.
They had been dropped off in the middle of nowhere.
Especially—
The climate of the East Sea Fleet was milder, with winter temperatures rarely dropping below one or two degrees below zero. This sudden cold was unexpected, and even in their winter training gear, it had no effect.
In less than two minutes, they were shivering with cold.
"Hey, where the hell are we?"
After feeling cold for a while, a sailor rubbed his arms and shouted at the helicopter pilot.
However, after dropping them, the pilot acted as if it were none of his business and ignored the inquiry.
Soon, he flew away with the helicopter, going "doot doot doot."
Such a scene was downright horrifying.
"Shit, what the hell is going on?"
"Can someone tell me, why is Aaron Doom in this godforsaken place?!"
"There’s not a soul in sight; what are they expecting us to do here?"
"Damn it, is this some sort of tough welcome as soon as we arrive?!"
"What are we supposed to do, at least tell us something, right?!"
About twenty people stood in the snowfield, shouting angrily into the sky.
Even they didn’t know who would hear them.
Shivering, Becca Reyes squeezed her way to Flossie Wright’s side.
Flossie Wright, who was looking around, paused and glanced at her.
