November 3rd, Kazarlia First Front Army meets enemy forces, 0730 hrs.
Filippov, hearing the whistling, put down his binoculars.
He had grown accustomed to the sounds of artillery preparation from the battalion headquarters position, but the new military chaplain seemed not yet used to it.
Filippov: "How is it, feeling fresh to hear the cannons firing in the battalion's bunker?"

Filippov: "Three months ago you were a battalion commander, last year a company commander, this is the damn war, you have to adapt, Priest Davarish."
"I'll try." The priest continued to toy with the Holy Emblem.
