The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 1671

Honor and belonging as a team were important to an organized legion. It meant military morale.

Without honor and belonging as a team, they would only be scattered, no matter how many people got together.

“Commander, why don’t I ask the canteen to make you dinner?” Nori asked.

“No thanks for now. I’m not very hungry…” Rose shook his head.

Just then, a phone call came through.

Rose picked up his phone to find a call from Quentin.

It is late…

Why did Quentin call?

Though confused, Rose answered the call, and Quentin’s voice immediately came from the phone.

“I’m sorry to bother you so late, Commander Anderson…” Quentin said on the phone.

Though it was apologetic, his voice obviously panicked.

“Did something happen?” Rose asked.

“Well, my daughter’s bodyguard, Uriah, fought Killer X today and got injured. The assassin’s dagger is unexpectedly poisoned. Uriah is poisoned and in a coma. He’s being hospitalized, but the doctors here seem to be at their wit’s end.”

So that’s it…

Rose instantly felt that he had been careless.

During the day, when he found the female assassin, he did not immediately kill her because the bodyguard, Uriah, was present. He would not have struck if Uriah had been able to tackle the female assassin on his own.

Had he known then that the female assassin’s weapon was poisoned, he would never have let Uriah get hurt.
