"You really put me in a tough spot." Bernardo's first words upon seeing Domenico were full of resentment.
Domenico curiously retorted, "How did I harm you?"
Bernardo replied weakly, "My background is already sensitive, and I've been carefully maintaining my cover. With your question, I estimate I'll have to undergo a Cheka investigation when I return today."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Domenico patted his chest, "At worst, I'll take you back. The old lady still misses you."
Bernardo sighed speechlessly, said nothing, and led Domenico towards the army camp.
Domenico looked up on his own. There was no sun today, yet a few intense rays of sunlight still penetrated through the cracks in the thick clouds.
Under the sunlight in the cracks, the army camp was located below Black Mountain Castle in the distance.
The neat barracks were laid along the road, with both temporary fire ponds and dedicated latrines and mess halls.
