Anning waited for more than a day by the Marne River, and the enemy arrived as expected.
Although the French Army marched forcefully to reach the riverbank as quickly as possible, one day of rest and reorganization had mostly restored them.
Moreover, in this battle the French Army was on the defensive, simply needing to crouch behind constructed fortifications and fire their guns, so the consumption of the soldiers' physical energy was not a significant issue.
Anning put down his binoculars, picked up the champagne on the table, and took a sip.
Actually, he didn't want to be so ostentatious, but for some reason, now the entire army believed that General Frost should drink champagne and enjoy a delicious steak when a battle began; otherwise, it was considered a problem.
So even the usually staid Bertier came to suggest that Anning honestly set up a table to drink and eat meat, to prevent wild speculations.
