After a while, Captain Jeremy and a few others returned to Shire.
"General," Captain Jeremy said, "we hope to have the right to go home on leave."
Shire agreed without hesitation, "Of course."
He nodded to the aide beside him, who took out a backup document from the briefcase and handed it over, shielding it from the rain.
Shire explained, "This is the rotation plan we've drafted. Take a look."
Captain Jeremy took it with one hand, flipped through it, and his eyes lit up. He excitedly shouted to those around him, "We get a week off after each rotation!"
The soldiers burst into cheers instantly.
Previously, rotations meant rear guard, third line, second line... moving one step closer to the front each time, staying on the front line for a week, then starting over without any leave.
Now, getting a week's leave after each rotation was undoubtedly good news for the soldiers.
