Although the soldiers of the First Squad also longed to go to the battlefield, they knew the camp could not be left empty. This was the main stronghold of the entire Tian Battalion, as well as its only supply line.
What was even more critical was that if the front lines suffered a defeat, the Tian Battalion could only retreat; and if the camp was occupied, the Tian Battalion would lose its retreat route. Moreover, the camp was the mandatory passage for reinforcements. Once reinforcements were blocked, the Tian Battalion would face total annihilation.
As for other directions, that was completely out of the question. Allowing small squads to pass through was no problem, but large armies simply could not get through and would have to go single file. In that case, the marching formation would be stretched out, making it impossible to move fast or get far.
