Major Felter couldn't help but lament in his heart: the water source being cut off became the final straw for the soldiers' collapse; even though there is still a lot of water stored now, the loss of hope brings a harm far greater than a hundred times the damage of water cut off.
What's more, the Major has always deliberately ignored a fact in the propaganda to the soldiers - even if he is captured or executed, it might not be a bad thing for the soldiers.
Ultimately, there is a divergence of interest between him and the soldiers, and his reasoning is untenable.
Once the soldiers are roused, the already shaky tower of trust between the two sides will rapidly collapse.
"Alright then!" Forced to a desperate situation, Major Felter was determined to take a final stand, he surveyed the soldiers around him and shouted: "We'll negotiate here! Right here! In front of everyone! Let's hear what the rebels have to say!"
