Summary:
Kid, Nikov and Radosław together join the fight against Islamic State's militants as the Vietnamese People's Armed Forces move to attack the remaining base of the terrorists and its ally Champa Shariah Jamaat. The fight intensifies as the Vietnamese sappers, its army and the Islamic State battle heavily. However, when the battle is indecisive and fear of the main perpetrator, Mouhamed Boukhar, is escaping to Cambodia where he has more followers than in Vietnam, a miracle happens.

Châu Đốc, Vietnam
As the Vietnamese army moved on, they used ships and vehicles, building bridges to prepare against the Islamic State militants. They were constructing a second temporary bridge, used only for armed movement.
"Tận hai cây cầu nổi có phải là cách hay không, Đại tá?" (Over two floating bridges, is it a good idea, Colonel?) A subordinate of the Colonel Mạc, Captain Trần Tiền Dũng, questioned its ability.
"Chúng ta không biết Nhà nước Hồi giáo đã bày ra cái gì, hay chúng mạnh ra làm sao. Vụ Long Xuyên chỉ là phần nhỏ của nó thôi." (We dunno what is the Islamic State planning, or their strength. The battle of Long Xuyên is just a small part of it.)
Colonel Mạc Đăng Hồng confirmed his belief that ISIS would fortify the position and waiting for the army, and that the Vietnamese army must conduct an immediate response, fast, quick and striking, to defeat the remnants of Islamic State.
And they had to do that. Once and for all.

But in the same position, Islamic State militants also made a prayer, when the sun first arose.
"Ahamidullah ..."
The prayer was not long, but it was spiritual for those terrorists. They wanted to seize and to end the game in its way. They knew the upcoming fight was a must-fight, and they had to inflict damages as much as possible. Mouhamed Boukhar prayed and prayed, before taking arms to finalize the game.
Islamic State forces were being under siege. Unlike Cambodia, Vietnam People's Armed Forces were a tougher opponent. Mouhamed Boukhar was aware with it, and the fight for him, became a must. Shooting against the Vietnamese infidels turned out to be his last choice.

Meanwhile, Kid and Nikov listened to the Bible being read by the Archbishop Radosław Chiemycz.
"Gideon crafted the booty into an ephod and enshrined it in his home town of Ophrah. Then all of Israel committed spiritual adultery with it there, and it became a snare for Gideon and his household."
"Amen."
Kid and Nikov just looked into the soul of the belief of Catholicism, and they found that, Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy have more commons than they thought. Despite different Christian branches, Catholics found itself closer to Orthodox Christians, and Orthodox Christians might find common bond with Catholics.
"God will guide us to see him in the Heaven."
Kid, Nikov and Radosław together moved out and ready for the final clash to see who would win the last game. They had very little option outside a clash against the Islamic State. And so, they ran beyond, having been exhausted after a night and only took a four-hour sleep.
