"Maybe, I can't be a unner anymore" Nail lowered his head in shame Every ti woun "I wasn't able to iet was an underaged pure witch, right?" Iron Axe interrupted him "Your team already reported that to me in their postwar summary I don't think that your idea is correct, but it can't be wrong So, I'll just ask you one thing, are you going to betray His Majesty?"
"No! Your Excellency, of course not" Nail quickly denied "My life belongs to His Majesty"
"So, I' to approve your request," Iron Axe said without hesitation, "This is currently the most critical moment for the First Army and even City of Neverwinter I deuard His Majesty Roland Wimbledon at all cost And, we have to spare no effort to do it! You can't be a gunner Well, you can be an observer or a protector, but you're absolutely not allowed to leave the army, understand?"
That last sentence from the commander was in an authoritative tone
"Ye-yes! Your Excellency!" Nail said, punctuating with a military salute
"That's all" After Iron Axe left, without looking back, Nail felt deeply startled
"Were we not victorious? Why is the most critical moment now? And, why did His Excellency Iron Axe so solemnly command the First Army to protect His Majesty Roland at all cost" A terrible thought suddenly occurred to hi the battle?"

"Aheown sheepishly "Do you think that His Majesty's troops ithdraw to City of Neverwinter?"
"Probably" Edith stuffed several coats into the open suitcase "Although the church has been totally defeated, much of the First Army's supply was consuain operational ability If His Majesty Roland is fine, there's no reason for hiion for a while But, if he's unconscious, no one can guarantee the overall morale Under this condition, Iron Axe absolutely wouldn't dare to continue attacking Holy City, so what he'll do shouldn't be difficult to guess "
"Are you determined to follow the terrible happens to His Majesty, the kingdom may fall into civil strife, so it'll be safer for you to stay in the Northern Region"
"That's why I' to City of Neverwinter" Edith stood up and slipped her long hair over her shoulder and onto her back "It has becodom there—whether Roland is there or not e and an opportunity for the Kant fa a cold breath "Are you going to"
"Your thoughts are too sied "The only one who can replace Roland is his sister Tilly Wimbledon, and I'm afraid that no one can connect the ordinary people with the witches except her But, there's the proble with the affairs of nobles, she needs greater help from the ordinary people" She paused "That person will undoubtedly be me Dad, this is the best shortcut to climb that pinnacle of power and I don't want to miss it"
