There was clamor outside of the tent. Nail, who lay on the ground in a daze, turned his head to see that the thick curtain had been lifted by a corner and that His Excellency Iron Axe was bending down into the tent.

“Co-commander.” He had never expected that the commander of the First Army would come to visit him. He quickly sat up straight and saluted.

“No need for etiquette.” Iron Axe walked to his bedside and sat down, crossing his legs. “How’s your injury?”

“It doesn’t matter. Only two teeth were broken.” Nail touched his swollen cheek. “I’m not that hurt.”

“All right.” Iron Axe then added, “Miss Nana has been so busy these days that, and since your wound wasn’t too severe, you’ll be recovering on your own. When the rescue is over, you can inquire and see Baron Pine to repair your teeth, and the First Army will pay for it.”

“I can fully understand, and there’s no need to bother her with such a little injury. After all, Miss Nana is very tired…” Nail hesitated for a moment before continuing. “How about Hound? He…”

Hound was the one who had grabbed a teammate’s spear and hit Nail to the ground, stunning him with the butt. Nail could still remember the moment that the other side had aimed a gun at Hound.

“Don’t worry. He’s alright,” Iron Axe said to comfort him, “He was pulled down by the guards the moment the other side raised their gun. He attacked you because of the pure witch’s magic. So he won’t be punished and has returned to the team to train.”

“Really?…” Nail was a bit relieved. “I thought I was dead at that moment. What about the other teams?”

According to the arrangement before the war, each bunker had been arranged with two machine gun teams and a five-man guarding platoon. So, even if the enemies approached a bunker, they had the ability to defend on site. In addition to the two or three soldiers in charge of carrying ammunition on the team, all the others wore God’s Stones of Retaliation. The seemingly perfect action appeared flawless.

“These accidents happen,” Iron Axe said with his hands outstretched, “but, it didn’t cause much harm, or we wouldn’t be standing here.”

“Was the church forced back…?” The minute he asked, Nail realized that it was an idiot’s question. “Um, I want to know what happened after.”

“The enemies launched their final charge but failed to cross the fourth trench. Both the God’s Punishment Army and the Judgement Army were completely defeated, leaving more than two thousand bodies at the front of their position. They fled in haste… We won the battle.”

What confused Nail was that Iron Axe was not very excited, and instead, he said all this in a neutral tone. Iron Axe did not offer the reason, and Nail was not bold enough to ask.

Then there was a long silence.

After a long while, Iron Axe sighed and clapped him on the shoulder. “Since you’re alright, have a good rest, and I’ll go visit the other wounded guys.”

Seeing that Iron Axe was about to leave, Nail gathered his courage and stopped him. “Your Excellency…”

“What’s up?”

“I, I want to leave the First Army.” He whispered.
