The Guardian’s Sword by Talking Cigarette

Benita asked, “Commander, Aren’t you mad at Derrick and Benji for abandoning the army?”

“Abandon?” Nathalia could not help laughing.

He did not expect Benita to think Derrick and Benji had abandoned the army.

It seemed Benita was mad about Derrick and Benji’s retirement and must despise them. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing.

Nathalia laughed and said, “Derrick and Benji would have abandoned the army if they had suddenly deserted in the middle of a war. I will kill them without mercy according to military rules! But Derrick and Benji didn’t desert in the middle of a war. Besides, they applied to discharge and retired as per the procedure. How is that abandoning?”

“But they couldn’t stand the hardship after all. They retired because they’re unwilling to continue bearing the responsibility of protecting the country,” Benita said, gritting his teeth.

“Not everyone is capable of such a huge responsibility, and not everyone has steel-like willpower. Benita, you’re asking too much.”

Nathalia waved his hand and motioned for Benita to sit down. However, instead of sitting down, Benita turned around and went to make Nathalia a cup of tea.
