After checking his system interface, Ferdinand then turned to look at his spatial inventory. He was then surprised to see that there was only one reward, and that is another summoning card, though that is only a squad size summoning card. He thought of it very deeply, but then he concluded that he will just summon them at the operating base.
Ferdinand glanced at the surroundings and saw that there was still a bit of an extra time before noon starts and it would only take a few hours to get back at the operating base. So he had decided to take a rest for the meantime, and so he ordered Waylen and Simpson to take a rest too. Though this time Ferdinand would have to sleep for a while because he's getting drowsy already.
The cave was a bit safe, but they don't trust the darkness as anything could go wrong. So they set up a temporary camp outside of the cave. While in the process, too they set up some fortification to make the camp a bit safer and guarded. They placed a boulder at the front of the camp. Behind the boulder was where Ferdinand was resting with his back against the wall. Meanwhile, the two opening of the camp from the sides were guarded by Waylen and Simpson.
Looking at the sun, one can see that noon is about to start so they could only rest for a few hours and hopefully that is enough for Ferdinand to be able to take a rest and recuperate properly. Since Waylen and Simpson were just recently summoned, their energies were replenished when they were summoned and so they don't need much rest, so they were on guard and sometimes resting.
Ferdinand then glanced from left to right and nodded at both Waylen and Simpson, to which he then closed his eyes. Upon closing his eyes, he immediately fell asleep. Ferdinand then entered a state of deep sleep. Waylen and Simpson then looked at the surroundings to which they then started talking to each other.
"The Commander got it hard, isn't it?" Waylen said.
"Yea, back in my world, it is hard to find a Commander who actually cares about their soldiers, the people who doesn't treat their soldiers as just a statistics in war." Simpson answered back.
"Really? I guess it's the same in my world. Most commonly, the officers in our army would just drink themselves for the entire time and would just rely on emotional decisions. That's precisely why during battles we would always sustain heavy casualties." Waylen said.
"Indeed, so we both are in the same situation despite coming from different worlds," Simpson said.
"Yea, I wonder what's its like in the world of Commander, to produce such a capable and proper officer?" Waylen said.
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask, but before our commander summoned you, were you also talked to by a peerless beauty in the underworld?" Simpson said.
"Yes, she's probably a goddess of this world. Did she also ask you to redeem ourselves and to pledge our loyalty to a person which is now our commander?" Waylen said.
"Yea, I accepted it. The punishment in the underworld is too overwhelming. I didn't know that they would consider us soldiers as criminals. For the damn sake, we're fighting for a cause to defend our people and our homeland from barbaric invaders. We're not murdering, we're killing enemies and bringing in justice for our people," Simpson said.
"I believe so, as murder is unjustified killing. We are soldiers, however that doesn't mean that we could kill as we like. We should also show compassion and mercy to our enemies. When they surrender, we should accept them as prisoners of war and treat them also humanely." Waylen said.
"I agree, so let's hope that our commander rise to greatness and we will follow him to the death for giving us another chance and for accomplishing our dream of finding or serving a compassionate commander. Let us hope he shows it once again to our soon to be enemies. I am sure that we will save the world from these unexplainable beings that even this time I am still shock of" Simpson said.
"Indeed, we could only hope for the best that he will still show the qualities that he showed us since the time we were summoned, I know that this is too sudden but I can't help but to be excited on what the future lies for us" Waylen said
"Seconded, I believe I made the right decision and hopefully it stays that way"
The two soldiers talked to each other more and more, as they share their experiences and their thoughts about this new world they are in. Soon enough hours have passed and their commander, which is Ferdinand, now shows some signs of waking up. Ferdinand, after a few hours of rested is as bright as the day as he is now more filled with energy that is enough to take the arduous journey back to the operating base or what is properly called a Forward Operating Base.
