The entire squad was stunned into silence by the commander's actions.
The commander stared at the barely conscious squad leader on the ground with clenched fists, then turned to address the group behind him with a bright smile on his face.
"I am Zale, Division Commander of the First Sword Division," Zale introduced himself. "I haven't yet thanked you properly for saving my life. If you have any issues, I'd be happy to help; you do not need to take action by yourself."
Zale was relieved that he had taken the initiative to intervene after hearing about the appearance of a tainted in the orchard. Thanks to the mysterious woman healing their injuries on the battlefield, he didn't need to visit a healer for a check-up.
Unfortunately, it wasn't just any ordinary taint that had appeared; it was one that easily eliminated the taint that nearly led their forces to their deaths.
