There was a noise outside the tent, and the nail lying on the floor in a daze turned his head and saw that the thick curtain was lifted to a corner, and Lord Iron Axe bent down and got into the canopy.
"Lord Commander," he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief of the First Army would come to visit him, so he quickly sat up and saluted.
"Don't be too polite," Tie Axe walked to the bunk and sat down cross-legged, "How's your injury?"
"No big problem, just two broken teeth," Nail touched his still swollen cheek, "It doesn't hurt much anymore."
"That's good," Iron Axe nodded. "Miss Nana has been very busy these days. For the time being, those with minor injuries can only recover on their own. After the rescue is over, you can ask Baron Pine again. The First Army will pay for your application for repairing your teeth."
"I can fully understand that there is no need to trouble her with this little injury. After all, Miss Nana is also very hard..." Nail hesitated for a while when he said that, "I don't know Hound he..."
The Hound was the one who snatched the spear from his teammate's hand, knocked him unconscious with a butt, and the sight of the other party taking the spear and aiming at him at the end was still fresh in his memory.
"Don't worry, he has nothing to do," Iron Axe comforted, "the moment he raised his gun, he was thrown down by the guards, and the attack on his teammates was not voluntary, but forced by the ability of the Pure One. , so there won't be any punishment. Now he's back in training."
"Really..." Nails sighed in relief, "I thought I was dead at the time. What about the other teams?"
According to the pre-war arrangement, two machine gun squads and a five-person guard team were arranged for each bunker. Even if the enemy approached the bunker, they had the ability to hold on to the spot. Except for the two or three people in the opening team who were responsible for carrying the ammunition, everyone else wore the Stone of God's Punishment. I thought it was a foolproof method, but there was still a mistake.
"More or less, such an accident happened," Tie Axe said, "but it didn't cause much harm, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here."
"Has the church been beaten back..." Nails realized that this was an idiot question as soon as the words came out, "Uh, I want to ask, what happened after that?"
"The enemy launched a final charge, but it never crossed the fourth ditch. Whether it was the God's Punishment Army or the Judgment Army, they were completely defeated. They left more than 2,000 corpses in front of their positions, and then fled in a hurry... We got the final victory."
What puzzled Nail is that Iron Axe didn't show much interest when he said this, but mixed with an indescribable sense of heaviness. But the other party didn't say the reason, and he didn't dare to ask.
A longer period of silence followed.
After a while, the commander sighed and patted his shoulder hard, "Since there's nothing serious, you should rest well first, and I'll go see the other injured guys."
Seeing that Iron Axe was about to leave, Nail summoned up the courage to stop him, "Sir..."
"What's up?"
"I... I want to leave the First Army," he whispered.
"Why?" Iron Axe asked with a frown.
"I may not be able to be a machine gunner anymore," Nail lowered his head in shame, as long as he closed his eyes, he would always think of the scene of the young woman in the red robe being swept by the machine gun, "During this battle, , I did not open fire on the enemy decisively..."
"And the target is an underage pure, right?" Iron Axe interrupted him, "Your squad has already reported to me in the post-war summary, I don't think your idea is right, But it can't be regarded as a mistake. Now I just want to ask you one thing, are you going to turn your back on Your Majesty?"
"No... Your lord, of course not," Nail quickly denied, "I have been His Majesty's person all my life."
"Then I won't agree to your request," Iron Axe said without hesitation, "Now is the most dangerous time for the First Army and Neverwinter City. I ask everyone in the army to abide by their duties and protect the King of Greycastle with their lives. Your Majesty Roland Wimbledon, you cannot do it or try your best to do it, you must do it! You cannot be a machine gunner, you can be an observer or protector, but you are absolutely not allowed to leave the army, understand?"
The commander's last sentence was a harsh drink.
"Yes, yes! Your lord!" Nails saluted.
"That's it." After speaking, Iron Axe left without looking back, but Nail's heart set off a huge wave.
Didn't we win? Why is now the most difficult time? And Lord Iron Axe so solemnly asked the First Army to protect His Majesty Roland with his life... A terrible thought suddenly popped into his mind, could it be... Did something happen to His Majesty during this battle
As soon as the thought appeared, it made him shudder.

"How is the situation?" Calvin Kant walked into his daughter's bedroom and saw that she was picking up clothes.
"The First Army and the witches have already surrounded the castle, and even I can't get in," Edith pouted, "but if he gets better, the news will definitely come out as soon as possible, so... I guess it's still old. look."
"What about you? Are you planning to travel far?" The Duke picked out a black gauze evening dress from the mountains of dresses on the bed, unfolded it and looked around, "Is this too revealing?"
Edith rolled her eyes, "I didn't say I wanted to choose it, and wasn't this a gift from you? I was planning to wear it to a dinner party at Tifeco."
"Cough cough... Really," Calvin put down his gown embarrassedly, "Do you think His Majesty's troops will withdraw to Neverwinter?"
"Nine times out of ten," Edith tucked the coats into the suitcase, "although the church suffered a crushing defeat, the First Army's supplies have also been consumed a lot, and the staff estimates that it will take a month to restore combat capability. It's fine for His Majesty Roland to be fine. He just stayed in the north for a while, but now that he's unconscious, it's hard to guarantee his military heart. At this time, Iron Axe would never dare to continue attacking the holy city. What will he do next? It's not hard to guess."
"Do you have to follow them back?" Calvin said with some concern, "If your majesty really... something unexpected happens, the kingdom may fall into civil strife, and it will be safer to stay in the north."
"Because of this, I'm going to Neverwinter even more," Pearl of the North stood up straight and carried the slipped long to the back, "It has become a new starting point for the kingdom, regardless of Roland's presence or absence, and his coma is very important to Kant. It is both a challenge and an opportunity for the family.”
The Duke couldn't help but gasped, "Don't you want to..."
"You think too simply," Edith shrugged, "At present, only his sister Tilly Wimbledon can replace Roland. Except for her, I am afraid that no one can firmly connect ordinary people and witches. Together. But one problem is that she is also a witch herself, so when dealing with noble affairs, she will need the help of ordinary people more." She paused, "That person will undoubtedly be me, father, this is a time The best shortcut to climb to the peak of power, I don't want to miss it."
