After a restless night of sleep Frame finally awoke from the following Night. It had been so restless becuase of what happend to the Biysk during the Night, but the Russian suicide bomber attack wasnt going to stop him in taking Russia no it was not. At the moment eh was currently looking at the maps and the few files he had on the tabel, but that was until the Russian Defector Victor walked into the Room.

"Forgive me but i wanted to speak with you." Victor silently spoke as he looked at Frame who in return stared at him.

"Well for god sake go on." Frame spoke out while he looked at the book waiting for Victor to speak as he did.

"I know who ordered for this Schorched Earth tactic." Frame almost immediately stopped what he was doing when he heard that one thing. As expected he put the book down and turned his head to Victor silent as he just stared at him waiting for him to speak.

"His name is Count Bengissen he's a coward and a fool he's also the man that lead the army at Gorno-Altaisk and even abandoned us." Victor spoke out as if though he had a deep hatred for this man as he continued to speak of this Bengissen.

"But as i was told Bengissen is the only likley General the Motherland Military has at its disposal since General Kuvetion is currently in India." Frame nodded listening to Victor's report this however was good news to him if this Kuvetion was in India that meant he could continue to push through Russia with ease knowing a worthless General like Bengissen was in command.

"Thank you Victor is that all?" Victor nodded before he was dismissed by the slight motioning of Frame's hand which in return he complied and left the room without thinking twice. Frame had taken the liberty of going back to reading before he was interrupted once more by Brandon and all five other Marshals who seemed to be also restless.

"Frame i think it would be best if we leave Biysk, but i have good reason for this statement and our Men are growing weary and think we may go under attack again." Brandon spoke first silently but calmly as he stared at Frame who in return just sighed.

"Tell them to prepare to move out we will march to Novosibirsk and after to Omsk but this time i dont want to hear any complaining from the men as we march to the Next City and i want to beat the Russian Army there to save the city and its crops." Frame looked at them all as they looked at each other once more, but after a minute of Silence they all looked at Frame and said at the same time.

"Understood." They all nodded at Frame before walking out all except Brandon his most loyal Marshal.

"Frame i want to know not as your Marshal but as your Best Friend, but are we going to Lose?" Frame looked at his friend with a bit of weariness as he slowly got up from his seat.

"I do not know my Old Friend all we can do is hope we can last this storm." Brandon nodded before he looked at Frame once more.

"So we are doing the Impossible and getting ourselves killed?" Frame looked at Brandon as if though he said yet another bad Joke once more.

"Remember This one Phrase Brandon....."Impossible for this dictonary of fools" Your not a fool are you?" Brandon shook his head no as Frame put his gloves on finally.

"Then let us continue onward." He smiled before putting on his hat and picking up the book which he quickly put in the pocket inside his coat.

"Come on." Frame motioned his hand for Brandon to follow him as they both walked out of the room. As they both walked out of the room they were met by several Soldiers who had remained in the Building until they saw the two men which in return they either hurried out of the building or stayed to salute them before following them out.
