He simply took the news in stride, well aware that the nation was making the same mistake Germany had during WW2, though it had taken nearly four years and more than twelve million total dead to show it. They were expanding without consolidating their positions, which was good practice for mechanized infantry, but they had already expanded FAR further than he would have before stop to entrench and make sure everything was pacified. He kept Aurelia up to date on the news he was getting, though he suspected she got far more, and far more accurate, news from other sources. Right now though, he needed her to start making a battle plan for him to follow. But other than keeping Aurelia up to date, he simply kept the group moving home as fast as they could, though he wasn't going to break the group apart just to get home sooner again. Too dangerous for those left behind.
