Ender turns defeat into draw against Leopard Army

In a battle against Leopard Army, Ender, still under orders not to fire, disobeys and uses his legs as a shield, drifting into the battle. He manages to freeze several enemy soldiers, turning a certain defeat into a draw. This act of insubordination angers Bonzo, who later hits Ender. However, Ender's actions demonstrate his tactical brilliance and his willingness to break rules when necessary. The draw saves Salamander from a humiliating loss, but it also deepens the enmity between Ender and Bonzo.
