There was a commotion outside the tent, and the nail, who was lying on the ground, turned his head to see the thick curtain being lifted, and the Iron Axe man bent down into the tent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.

"Commander," he didn't expect the commander-in-chief of the First Army to come to visit him, so he quickly sat up straight and saluted.

"No need to be polite," Iron Axe walked to the floor and sat down cross-legged, "How's the injury?"

"It's not a big deal, just two broken teeth," the nail touched his still slightly swollen cheek, "it doesn't hurt much anymore." ”

"That's good," Iron Axe nodded, "Miss Nanawa is basically too busy these days, and the minor injuries can only recover on her own for the time being." When the rescue is over, you can apply to Baron Pine for a tooth repair, and the First Army will pay for it. ”

"I can totally understand that there is no need to bother her with this little injury, after all, Miss Nanawa is also very hard......" Nail hesitated a little at this point, "I don't know ...... Hound Dog"

The Hound was the one who snatched the spear from his teammate's hand, smashed him to the ground with the butt of the gun, and finally the other party picked up the spear and aimed at him is still fresh in his memory.

"Rest assured, he has nothing to do," reassured Iron Axe, "he was knocked down by the guards the moment he raised his gun, and the attack on his teammates was not voluntary, but was compelled by the power of the pure, so there will be no punishment." Now he has returned to the team for training. ”

"Yes......" Nail breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I was going to die." What about the other crews?"

According to the pre-battle arrangement, each pillbox was equipped with two machine gun squads and a five-man guard team, which had the ability to hold on to the spot even if the enemy approached under the pillbox. Except for the two or three people in the team who were responsible for carrying the ammunition, everyone else wore the Divine Punishment Stone, and they thought it was foolproof, but they didn't expect that there was a mistake.

"There have been more or less accidents like this," Iron Axe said, "but it didn't cause much harm, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here." ”

"Has the church been rejected......" As soon as the words came out, the nail realized that it was an idiot question, "Uh, I wanted to ask, what happened after that?"

"The enemy made a final charge, but never managed to cross the fourth trench. Both the Divine Punishment Army and the Inquisition Army were completely defeated, leaving more than 2,000 corpses in front of their positions before fleeing in a hurry...... We won the eventual victory. ”

To Nail's puzzlement, Iron Axe didn't show much interest when he said this, but mixed with an indescribable heaviness. But the other party didn't say the reason, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask.

A long silence followed.

After a long while, the commander sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Since it's okay, you can rest first, I'll go see the other injured guys." ”

Seeing that the iron axe was about to leave, the nail mustered up the courage to stop him, "Your Excellency, ......"

"What's the matter?"

"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," Nail lowered his head in shame, as long as he closed his eyes, he would always think of the young woman in the red robe swept by the machine gun, "I didn't fire decisively at the enemy during this battle......

"And the target is a minor 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 considered a mistake either. Now I just want to ask you one thing, are you going to turn your back on Your Majesty?"

"No...... My lord, of course not," Nail hurriedly denied, "I have been His Majesty's man all my life. ”

"Then I will not agree to your request," said Iron Axe without hesitation, "This is the most dangerous time for the First Army, and indeed for Neverwinter, and I ask everyone in the army to abide by their duty and protect His Majesty Roland Wimbleton, King of the Grey Keep, with their lives, not to be able or to do it as best you can, but as you must do! You can't be a machine gunner, you can be an observer or a protector, but you are never allowed to leave the army, understand?"

The commander's last sentence was already a shout.

"Yes, yes, sir!" said the nail salute.

"So be it. After saying that, the iron axe left without looking back, and the nail set off a shocking wave in his heart.

Aren't we victorious?Why is it now the most dangerous time?And Lord Iron Axe is so solemnly asking the First Army to protect His Majesty Roland with his life...... A terrible thought popped into his mind, could it ...... Your Majesty has something wrong in this battle?

As soon as this thought came to mind, he shuddered.

"How's it going?" Calvin Kant walked into his daughter's bedroom and saw her collecting clothes.

"The First Army and the Witches have 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 the same. ”

"And what about you, ready to go on a long journey?" the Duke picked out a black gauze evening dress from the pile of dresses on the bed, and unfolded it to look left and right, "Is this one too revealing?"

Edith rolled her eyes, "I didn't say I was going to pick it, and wasn't this a gift from you?" ”

"Ahem...... Is it," Calvin lowered his gown embarrassedly, "do you think Your Majesty's centaurs will retreat to Neverwinter?"

"Ten of them," Edith stuffed her coat into her suitcase, "Although the church has been defeated, the First Army's supplies have also been consumed, and the staff estimates that it will take a month to regain combat capability." His Majesty Roland is fine, just stay in the north for a while, but now that he is unconscious, it is difficult to guarantee the morale of the army. At this time, Iron Axe would never dare to continue attacking the Holy City, and it was not difficult to guess what he would do next. ”

"Do you have to go back with them?" Calvin said with some concern, "in case Your Majesty really ...... If something happens, the kingdom may fall into civil strife, and it will be safer to stay in the Northlands. ”

"That's why I'm going to Neverwinter," the Pearl of the Northland straightened up, lifting the slippery long behind her, "and it has become a new beginning for the kingdom - whether Roland is there or not, and his coma is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Kant family." ”

The Duke couldn't help but gasp, "Do you want to ......"

"You're thinking too simply," Edith shrugged, "the only person who can replace Roland at the moment is his sister Tilly Wimbledon, and I'm afraid no one can tie the ordinary man to the witch with her." But there is a problem that she is a witch herself, so she will need the help of ordinary people more when dealing with noble matters. She paused, "That person will undoubtedly be me, father, and this is the best shortcut to the pinnacle of power, and I don't want to miss it." ”
