Eric finally fulfilled his wish to land on the Eastern Continent. When he left back then, he was still considered middle-aged, but now he's a little old man.
At his age, he's not considered young among the commanders of the Tang Empire. He's even older than Marshal Tagg and Redman.
This landing on the Eastern Continent, or rather returning to the Eastern Continent, brings Eric many feelings: Back then, he was ordered to lead troops to evacuate civilians from Brunas, and the departure was so hasty that they left all valuable equipment and factories to those who drove them away.
Now he's back with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, armed and mighty. This time, he doesn't plan to leave. He wants to stay here until he's old and buried in the ground.
The officer welcoming him helped Eric open the car door. Eric realized that this car wasn't the off-road vehicle used by field troops; it was a luxury public car used by the command headquarters.
