You reveal yourself to the American soldiers. They all look at you, but don't make a move. You walk towards your comerade, he weakly says, "just kill me." You grab a pistol from the dead german's body, aim at your comrade's head, but hesitate. You can't bring yourself to pull the trigger. You try again to pull the trigger, but your finger just won't move. The third time, you look away, and imagine the german in the same position. Finally, you are able to muster the willpower to pull the trigger. You look back at you dead comrade, and puke your guts out. You start crying for what you just did, but reassure yourself that it had to be done. You the other soldiers around were showing emotion as well. You tell them through your tears and nausia,"take him back to your superiors. Tell them he killed the german and Iberian, but you killed him in return. I pray that they will be merciful on you. Best of luck. I'm sorry I cannot do more." The soldiers seemed to accept your apology, and you and them went your separate ways. Once you are far enough away, you whistle for Argos to join you again. She happily perches on your arm, completely oblivious to the thoughts and emotions running through your head. You continue to the rendezvous point, and Argos's happy, playful attitude helps cheer you up to the point where you no longer regret living. After 3 hours of walking, you finally arrive at the valley, and see the huddled group of soldiers. You see a majority of the soldiers who participated in the ambush, but there were still many missing faces. Either they didn't make it yet, or they were captured or killed.
Millers was with the group, and welcomed you back. "Glad you made it back. We are still missing some, but we need to get going at sunset, whether they make it or not." The last few hours of the day were spent collecting resources from the countryside. People were also discussing what happened during the ambush. You decide not to tell anybody about what happened to you. A few more soldiers trickle in as the sky reddens, but finally, Millers orders everybody to pack up and get moving. Right at that moment, gunfire sounds from the forest where you came from. dozens of your comrades fall, and the rest scatter, leaving most of their belongings and supplies, simply running in terror. You did the same, but took your hunting backpack with you. However, your rifle was not with it, because you had let a comrade look at it when the attack happened. Argos takes flight away from the danger, but you have no such luxury. You hide behind a thick tree, and go prone. You don't dare look, but you can tell from the war cry that a sizable portion of the army had participated in this attack. This was no accident, somehow the army had learned the location of the rendezvous point. You stay prone, and hope that nobody sees you as soldier after soldier runs past your position. As time goes on, you hear another noise, engines. This confirms your suspicion that nearly the entire army, if not all of the army, had participated in this attack. You ponder how the enemy might have garnered this information, but you are interrupted by a soldier who sees you and prods your chest with the barrel of his machine gun. You try to stay limp, but there is an audible grunt as the air is forced out of your lungs. You will not be able to hide anymore.
