Many times, those who think they are well-informed are actually the last to know.
Such was the case with Houdel.
Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, a "fellow townsman" of Houdel came rushing to him in a hurry.
This fellow townsman was also an officer cadet, but his relationship with Houdel couldn't really be called close.
Houdel had first been a soldier, then got recommended to become a reserve officer. As for this "fellow townsman," he had gotten in through exams directly.
As for the so-called bond of being from the same town, that was even more far-fetched.
Their past statuses were worlds apart, and in the past, the other wouldn't even give "Monkey" a second glance.
The two had not been assigned to the same post during the current siege battle.
Besides, Houdel, by nature, was someone with pride and arrogance, never bothering to network or socialize.
So, the two only knew each other's names and backgrounds, barely even acquaintances.
