Leonard had of course recognised Light's determination when they had first fought together, but he remembered how weak he had been despite all that, which was why he was filled with pride.
It was something to respect and be proud of that this young man, whom he had met only a few months ago, had managed to become so strong in such a short time without losing a single bit of his determination.
After all these thoughts, Leonard and the whole group of soldiers started to open fire again. Each of them was firing at the church members that were beginning to form around them.
They already had more than enough ammunition, Light had supplied ammunition before approaching this area, and with this, each of them had become fully equipped.
Every time the High Priest waved his staff, more church members appeared. Yet neither Leonard nor they cared.
Their task was to prevent more zombie-like church members from approaching their master, Light.
