In the north of Tower Guard II lies the land defended by the Iron Oath Army.
Within the Iron Oath Army is a special banner unit: the Breach Banner.
Break through, clear out, hold the line.
Their mission is to eradicate anchors. They are nails driven deep into them.
Among the many “nails,” however, one unit is especially unusual. Named for their breach tactics, they constantly maneuver through clusters of angels, destroying one anchor after another.
What makes them unusual is that the soldiers in the unit seem to respect the one carrying the gun even more.
Luo Xi had just transmigrated for the fourth time from the battlefield of Stalingrad, only this battlefield didn’t seem quite like the ones he’d experienced before.
What were those huge things that looked like rocks?
Why wouldn’t the gun in his hand fire?
…
“Captain, who is Azrilla they keep talking about?”
“That’s me. Ember is my codename, but in the Iron Oath Army, you only need to call me by my codename.”
“It’s fine. I call you Ember in private, too.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t you think Azrilla... is long and hard to remember?”
…
“Master Finsa wants to transfer you to the Iron Fangs as their banner captain. The order will come down tomorrow.”
“Transfer me? No.”
“It’s an order.”
“Ember, have you forgotten everything we’ve been through? Have you forgotten the honors we earned together?”
“Ah, what a faithless woman.”
“You! I... I can’t disobey a military order, but I won’t, ”
“Anyway, tell the standard-bearer that I, Luo Xi, can only fight at my current level under you, Ember. I wouldn’t be able to do it anywhere else. No, I’ll go tell them myself.”
Ember watched Luo Xi storm off for a long while. At last, a hint of a smile appeared on her usually serious face.
