Desari offered a word of thanks, then set down his teacup. His gaze shifted to Lynch, his eyes filled with admiration. "Commander Lynch, this is my first time visiting Lakefront Town."
"Before entering the town, I took a look from the sky. The fortifications here are solid and the streets are orderly—far beyond what any ordinary town can compare to. To be frank, I've served in the North Wind Legion for over twenty years, and I have rarely seen a unit like the Ninth Battle Battalion develop to such an impressive state in less than two years."
He paused, then added, "Every time Battle Group Commander Raymond sends a report to headquarters, he always adds a few lines at the end about the Ninth Battle Battalion's achievements. The Legion Commander has also cited Lakefront Town as an example in operational meetings on several occasions, saying this is what a proper border defense should look like."
