Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 0453

Earlier, more than a dozen units of Fortress 178’s fighting forces had secretly left the forward operating base.

Harris had instructed the Razor Sharp Company to launch an attack on the Mahakam River on the pretense of heading out for their cross-country training. Then they never returned to base again. Likewise, the independent regiment Raphael was previously in was deployed to the western side of Blackstone River.

The deployment of these troops was actually to make it difficult for the spy to figure out the situation. Once these troops left the forward operating base, all communications with them would be handled personally by Gregory. Furthermore, Peter had stopped eating for two days and lost quite a bit of weight in order to deceive the spy as well. It was also at this time that they locked onto Burl as a suspect.

When Burl went to eat, he would pretend to casually ask Kamden, the manager of the chow hall, “How has the commander’s appetite been recently?”

As an infantry brigade commander, Burl was not authorized to participate in the drafting of battle plans. So, he could only use Peter’s appetite to gauge whether Fortress 178 had any contingency plans.
