Compared to the three army generals, the fourth army officer sitting at the edge of the simple table drew more attention from Wetter—because the person was clearly wearing an officer's uniform.
In contrast to the chairs under the generals, the officer had only a stool to sit on. His hands rested stiffly on his knees, his shoulders tense, and his expression was more constrained than anxious.
Seeing Wetter Pisani and others outside the door, the officer instead let out a long breath and his shoulders relaxed somewhat.
Since the "Florence" commander was in the room, Wetter guessed that the officer should be the representative of General Antonio Serviati, the commander of the "Da Vineta" corps.
But now was not the right time to ask questions.
The army colonel responsible for reception saluted the generals in the basement and stopped outside the door.
