The basecamp broke out in an uproar.
The death of that soldier was a blatant provocation from the enemy.
It was a warning to them that if they chose to confront them any longer, they would be the next to die!
The military strategists from the countries were all furious, especially the representatives whose soldiers were all dead, and whose bodies were still in the hands of the enemy. It would be an embarrassment if they were not able to bring them home!
It was one thing if they could not exterminate the enemy, but another if they couldn't even bring the remains of the soldiers back to their home countries to be buried. It would be a shame if others knew about this and no one could escape the blame.
The representatives of the countries and military experts expressed their uncompromising determination to fight these mercenaries to the end.
