Hugh and Serena were both surprised that the soldier spoke up. They had both thought their cover was blown, but it seemed like this soldier had just saved them.
"Yeah. She was my neighbor back in our street," another random soldier uttered.
"She's always been here, platoon leader."
"She is an important part of our platoon."
All of the soldiers started to agree and give Serena the backup that she needed. Without them, the platoon leader could have tried to execute her.
However, why would the soldier do this? Why would they stick their neck out for a person that they know was a spy?
The platoon leader was speechless. With all of the soldiers agreeing with each other, he had no choice but to believe them.
"F—fine. Get back to your places!" the platoon leader shouted as he was embarrassed by them.
