However, Mizuhara and the three surviving soldiers said nothing.
After all, the four of them had witnessed everything firsthand: Heroson had fallen from a thousand meters in the air and emerged unharmed, leaving only a shallow crater in the ground, and he had shattered an Orphnoch with a single punch.
