After Klein's death, the surviving soldiers of the First Division fired their guns into the sky as a final farewell.
Kendall did the same.
Klein's closest confidants buried his body somewhere deep in the mountains,.no monument, no coffin.
This was in accordance with Klein's last wishes.
He had said he wanted his body to return to the land, to nourish the motherland, and give rise to the blooming mountain flowers. When the war is over and people pass by, they might smile knowingly and that would be enough.
After the burial, Kendall composed herself, analyzed the battlefield, and led the remaining troops in a retreat to the southwest.
At [1]:[30] PM, they successfully joined forces with another unit.
"You are...?" The unit leader spotted Kendall in the crowd.
Though everyone's faces were grimy with dirt, Kendall stood out. As a person of Asian descent, her features differed from the Ixta natives.
