"I'll go!"
The person who said this wasn't anyone else but Baron Lagren, commander of the British Expeditionary Army.
At this moment, Baron Lagren had no leisure to focus on the situation of the second batch of training troops. If the first batch of troops were to suffer total loss due to non-combat casualties in the Near East region, then Baron Glen's career as commander of the expeditionary forces could be considered over!
By then, he would not only face reproaches from the Cabinet, the Royal Family, and the press but possibly criticisms from some nobles as well.
The first batch of 20,000 troops heading to the Eastern Near East regions comprised mostly of noble officers. Nobles entrusted their children to Baron Lagren with hopes that he could lead them to victory in battle. These noble offspring do not fear the life-and-death struggles on the battlefield but fear meaningless deaths.
The waiting terror of death is far more daunting than the battlefield itself.
