"Captain,"
A young soldier quickly walked up to the officer in the gray military uniform and said swiftly, "News has come from the frontline. We've already broken through the enemy's first line of defenses before the Northern Gate, and have begun encountering their defensive facilities built near the gate."
"How long did it take?"
The officer in the gray uniform lowered his head and hoarsely asked.
"In total..."
The soldier paused slightly, lowered his head, glanced at his wristband, and after a brief hesitation, said, "Twenty-three minutes."
"Twenty-three minutes, just to breach the first layer of outer defenses."
The officer in the gray uniform said calmly.
"According to the battle report from the frontline,"
The soldier immediately explained, "The enemy's resistance is extraordinarily fierce, and they are even fearless in the face of death, creating far more obstacles than anticipated."
