"I don't know"
The atmosphere froze in a weird manner.
"You…don't know?"
Ezra nodded. "Rather than haggling the remuneration amount, I would better, simply highlight my deeds and let your Excellency's determine an appropriate amount"
"Firstly, I stood the astral beast's charge and forced it to halt. Had I not, it would have reached Cretin before you could even properly set up the barrier and laid waste to the planet.
By the time your reinforcements arrive, Cretin would have long been destroyed"
"Secondly, not only did I-a mercenary-not run away, I started fighting the astral beast, even though it would have been much, much easier to simply escape, and leave unconcerned.
If I hadn't done this, the head officer would not have survived and thousands would have perished, that if the planet itself had not ceased to exist"
