CH.15 Gardia in Danger
The raging fire continued to burn for several hours before it was completely extinguished, and almost all of Minami's pursuing forces were completely annihilated in this attack. On the other hand, the Earth Dragon Knights led by Gardia were almost completely annihilated, and both sides suffered unsatisfactory losses.
"I'm sorry Iska, I failed. Gardia snuggled weakly into Eska's arms, the troll's venom constantly tormenting her spirit and consciousness.
"Stop talking, I'll send you back to camp at once, you can close your eyes and rest for a while. Looking at her scarred, Iska's heart ached. With the help of the swift wind and arrows, she quickly crossed the depression.
A few kilometers north of the swamp, in the forested area, Eleanor's army had set up camp here. You can see that nearly a thousand huge catapults in the team have been fully unfolded into attack forms, and the fireball rain that was previously used to attack the enemy was completed by these huge machines that turned into gun carriages.
"Lord Eleanor, the recon has sent back news confirming that the enemy has been wiped out in our first round of artillery fire. The herald reported to Eleanor.
"What about the survivors?" she asked with concern.
"Aside from Iska and Lord Gardia, the rest of the Dragon Knights have already died. The soldier reported truthfully.
"I didn't expect to lose the strongest mobile unit from the beginning, it seems that the strength of the enemy should not be underestimated... "Eleanor was very dissatisfied with the first encounter, they did not get a bargain in the war because they had an absolute advantage in numbers, but were used by the other side to learn a good lesson, if the subsequent battle is still like this, then this battle will be more tragic than imagined.
"Lord Eleanor, Lord Iskar has returned!!" another messenger reported as he ran into the tent.
"How's it going?!"
"Lord Gardia seems to be seriously injured and needs to be treated quickly. ”
"Where is she now?"
"It's in the medical tent at the back. ”
After listening to the other party's words, Eleanor ran out of the tent like a fly, but unexpectedly bumped into a figure at the moment of going out.
"Ouch... Both of them fell to the ground due to the force of the impact.
Only then did Eleanor realize that the person opposite was actually Sicilia.
"Your Majesty... Why are you here?!" She scrambled up from the ground and reached for her.
"Really, Eleanor, who has always been calm, has become shaggy and rough, which is not in your usual style. With her help, Sicily rose from the ground.
"That's your majesty, Gardia was seriously wounded in a battle with the enemy, and is now being treated in the rear, so... ”
"Gardia is injured?"
"Yes, please allow me to report back to you later... The highest priority now is to understand her injuries. ”
"Okay, I'll go too. Sicili said......
When the two entered the tent, Gardia was already being treated by the military doctor, and Iska could be seen crouching a little depressed, as if he was remorseful for Gardia's injury.
"How's it going, Iska?" asked Eleanor.
"Eleanor, and Sicili, are you here too?"
"yes, how is she?"
"Although there is nothing wrong with her body, the toxins in her body are deadly. ”
"Toxin, is it the blood poison of a troll?" Eleanor reacted quickly.
"Yes, how do you know. ”
"The place where she fought was in the swamp depression that had been the territory of the swamp trolls, and it made sense that the enemy would enslave the trolls to attack us. ”
"So what will happen to this poison?" asked Sicily eagerly.
"Originally, the blood poison of the trolls was their most powerful killer weapon, no matter who it was, as long as the wound was stained a little, it would immediately fall into a state of absolute paralysis, from the initial inability to move, to the later loss of consciousness, and finally even the breathing and heart beating would stop, a very dangerous toxin. ”
"So is there an antidote?!"
"If you can catch a living swamp troll, then you can make an antidote by extracting their saliva. ”
"Live trolls!?damn it!!The trolls had all been burned to death in the battle!!Now where can I find them alive!!!" Iskar almost jumped to his feet.
"Calm down, there's a way to stop the venom from eroding her temporarily!!" comforted Sicili on the side.
"Able to stop the venom erosion?"
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, are you... Eleanor sensed Sicili's intentions, and the expression on her face suddenly became very nervous.
"As a succubus, absorbing toxins from the inner bodies of other races is as easy as draining their energy. Sicily slowly walked towards Gardia, who was being treated.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!" Eleanor suddenly blocked her body in front of her. "Even if you use a clone to absorb her toxin, your body will be affected as well, I can't allow you to do that!!"
"Calm down, Eleanor, as a demon king, I won't be able to absorb a little bit of toxin, and I don't need to fight on the front line, I can rest in the rear. ”
"But... ”
"It's okay, this will buy her precious time, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a tribe of swamp trolls on the border between the West and North Kingdoms, and Haruka should be around there, and if I ask them, I should be able to help find the antidote together." ”
"I see, since this is what you mean, then I will not hinder it. Eleanor slowly stepped aside......
