The orders from Crown Prince William soon reached the front line, instantly boosting the morale of the troops there.
Colonel Vito, commander of the 51st Infantry Regiment tasked with the main offensive mission, excitedly high-fived his staff officers and shouted to his men in the trenches, "Gentlemen, it's time to end this battle. Taking Verdun City means we have survived! Understand?"
His men responded enthusiastically, "Understood, Colonel!"
They indeed understood that victory in a certain battle signified a temporary cessation of fighting.
Next would come the rewards, and they might be reassigned to the rear for a period of rest.
No one wanted to stay longer in this blood-soaked, death-filled, and foul-smelling battlefield, even for a moment.
Delicious food, comfortable surroundings, and women... were all beckoning to them.
As long as they fought through this battle, all the good things would no longer be a distant dream!
