There's no more to it, but he's not going to argue with the captain or with her, let them do whatever they want. If she gets in trouble Ace will be enough to save and help her again. There's no need for him there.
So he just continues advancing, quickly taking care of those soldiers who had been unfortunate enough to not be caught by Ace's attack. He doesn't outright kill them, but his anger burns brightly and wildly, sweeping them all with his fire.]
