Chapter 22: Departure
Emperor ** Wounded Barracks.
Since almost all of the injuries caused by landmines are irreparable and disabling, the military medical officers have recently become a little overstretched and have begun to recruit medical personnel from the outside on an ad hoc basis.
So Nora and Eleanor went to work, not for the paltry pay, of course, but purely for humanitarian aid.
"Another wounded soldier has come in!" Eleanor rushed into the medical room with a stretcher, which was carried by two adult soldiers, and she only needed two hands to hold it steadily, and she ran in quickly.
Placing the stretcher on the makeshift medical bed, Nora just "looked" at it with her ability.
"Arrange an amputation quickly." She said calmly.
This sentence announced the wounded soldier's "disabled second half of life", and the latter, who was originally moaning in pain, immediately screamed when he heard the words:
"No, don't amputate your limbs! Doctor, please, at least save my leg......"
Nora looked at him quietly, and for a moment some unbearable emotion flowed through her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure:
"Your leg can't be saved, and if you don't amputate it, your life will be in danger later."
With that, Nora activated her psychic ability to silence the wounded soldier who was still wailing, and instructed the other doctors:
"Carry it in."
The doctors immediately pushed the nursing table into the operating room. Despite her recent arrival, the girl had established a reputation among the doctors with her superb medical skills.
Although the technique of the knife is quite immature, the blood vessels can be avoided just right every time, and the technique of treating the injured area is also accurate to the limit...... Although the girl explained that it was because of her own ability, this did not prevent the doctors from respecting her and completely obeying her instructions and arrangements.
Eleanor looked speechlessly at the closed door of the operating room, surrounded by wounded soldiers who had just finished surgery, missing hands and feet, looking numbly in a certain direction, and their pupils losing focus, as if they had lost all hope in life.
Why take the risk of dismantling landmines when you don't have the expertise?
Eleanor suddenly remembered Asker's words:
“…… It is impossible to solve it manually, blow it up a few more times, and the emperor should understand. ”
However, "a few more bombs" means that more soldiers will lose their hands and feet, and even precious lives, in the process of demining. Why do you know that this road will not work, but still use the price of the second half of these people's lives, just in exchange for His Majesty the Emperor's awakening and change of heart?
Obviously, as long as His Majesty the Emperor takes back that order, more casualties can be reduced......
She sat down in the chair next to her, frustrated with powerlessness both physically and spiritually.
"What's wrong with you, sitting here like a salted fish?" Asker's voice suddenly rang out.
"Asker......" Eleanor looked up at Asker standing in the doorway, her eyes flashing at the sunlight shining in from outside, and she was a little teary-eyed.
"Where's Nola?" Asker looked around at the wounded soldiers, expressionless, "I heard that you work part-time here, so I came to look for you." ”
"She's operating on it inside." Eleanor said.
"Okay, I'll wait for her." Asker sat down in the chair next to her.
"Asker......" As soon as Eleanor said sadly, Asker immediately snorted, "I'm afraid this girl is going to ask me some philosophical questions like "war and peace"?
As a result, she didn't ask questions, but just folded her cheeks in frustration and said, "If only we could think of an effective way to safely solve the minefield in front of us." ”
"There's a solution." "In fact, we've been given a mission. ”
————————
After Nora came out from the operation, all the members of the Azure Sword Mercenary Group had already arrived, planning to leave for the East.
The doctors in the army were quite reluctant, but after all, the trip was to solve the problem once and for all, so Nora quickly changed out of the white coat and left with the team.
The Blue Sword and his party consisted of 9 people, and the escort team led by Albrecht consisted of 12 knights, adding up to a total of 21 people.
Of course, these noble knights are ordinary people without rank, thanks to the "autumn hunting" tradition of the Frankish nobles, through the extraordinary strength accumulated by hunting extraordinary creatures every year, they can probably pile up the ** power to about Lv.6, so their physical fitness is more powerful than the crusader knights who attacked Constantinople last year, but it is not much stronger.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the strength of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group alone does not need these Frankish knights to protect it at all. However, smart people such as Medea or Sheila naturally know in their hearts that these escorts are also tasked with "surveillance".
Once the Azure Sword is countered or bribed in the negotiations with Vinis, such as revealing the information of the Emperor's ** team or something, then these escorts will become the military police of the prison army.
So don't look at what the emperor and Asker said is very beautiful, it is the traditional art of the upper politicians, and in practice, you should be wary of it.
"Lord Asker." As he prepared to leave for the East, Albrecht approached Asker and said, "There is something I must tell you in advance. ”
"It's about the prisoners."
"What's going on with those guys?" Asker asked.
"Recently, those prison guards have been preaching in the army that there is a devil in your team." "You know, although we are fighting against the Holy See, the vast majority of the soldiers are still Catholics. ”
"So once we get to Venis, these jailers may make a move."
"Like agitating the soldiers to come and hunt us down?" Asker laughed.
Albrecht: ..................
Hearing that the prison guards are going to hunt you down, why are you so happy, with a "hurry up" expression?
However, the knight was a traditional figure after all, so he reminded quite bluntly:
"Yes, so we need to go fast so as not to get into unnecessary trouble."
His knights brought many horses and gave them to the girls.
The girls were very curious about this, because in the past, everyone was either driving or walking, and in most cases a few people were in a hurry, and most people stayed in the hearth island...... This time it seemed to be a group horseback ride, which made the girls feel very interesting.
Eleanor, Medea, and Nora were the first to mount, with a vigorous posture and graceful movements, apparently as they were used to riding horses before. Sheila also has a foundation in riding, but she is too small to step on the horse pedal (in Constantinople, someone will be responsible for letting her step on the horse), so she has to add a light body technique to herself, and levitate the horse.
Sidlifa and Peggy, who had never ridden a horse before and didn't know how to get on it. The latter, with the explosive power of his strength, jumped directly from the flat ground onto the horse's back, and frightened the poor horse into staggering; The former forcibly pushed the horse to its knees before swaggering forward.
Seeing the knights' expressions sluggish, this woman ...... Can strength subdue a war horse? Look at her figure and don't have many muscles, huh?
In the end, only the two little ones in the team, Mia and Mi'er, looked at their respective tall horses, looking confused and helpless, but Aske carried them up.
"Such a young child, your mercenary group also accepts it?" Albrecht asked with a frown, he now knew the name of the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment.
"Don't look at their young age, ordinary knights are not their opponents." Asker was unimpressed.
Albrecht raised his eyebrows, and was about to question, but suddenly pressed back and did not speak.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that if he opened his mouth to refute it, there was a high probability that he would be slapped in the face.
After all, the other party is extraordinary.
