Chapter 1: The Not-so-optimistic Fort of Glory

As a priest, what do you do when you come to a fortress that is jammed with all kinds of injuries? "Can I go wild?" Aktos looked at the materials in his hand and asked with a forced smile. The sword in Danas's hand was unsheathed. "The problem is that there are too few of them, right? I'm a priest, not a god, just three rolls of bandages and six and a half bottles of healing potions, you let me heal half of the wounded in the barracks......" Picked up half a bottle of healing potion in the medicine box: "I've endured this problem for a long time, why is there only one dose of healing potion left in this situation?" Patting Actos on the shoulder with a heavy expression, Danas looked at the sky in the distance: "It's all the orcs' fault." "Why did you suddenly mention orcs!" Aktos spit out without hesitation. "Because this half bottle was snatched from the mouth of an orc I hacked to death two days ago, but fortunately it didn't spill out." It is a miracle that the fortress of "......" has been able to hold on to this day. Danas smiled awkwardly: "Fort Glory is not well stocked, the city of Shattrath in the Teroka Forest has been assisting us, but they are too far away from us, and there are countless dangers in the middle, so it is impossible to transport supplies in large quantities. Originally, we could still rely on the autumn wind to fight the orcs to turn around, but recently the demons have been attacking like crazy to make the front line tight, and most of the supplies have been sent to the front line battlefield, making it difficult for the fortress materials to support, especially in terms of healing, it has almost run out of ammunition and food, before you came, I organized some teams to raid those orcs' watchtowers, who knew that they saw the enemy, but we directly destroyed the reserves of the watchtowers, so that we couldn't get medicine and bandages like before. Patting his forehead, Arctos didn't know how difficult this fortress was, looking at those wounded soldiers, Aktos sighed, he couldn't just sit back and watch those soldiers tortured to death by injuries and diseases, right? Well, I'll do my best, but the priest's spells are not omnipotent, our healing spells are more suitable for use on the battlefield or in some critical moments, and various potions and bandages are more suitable for ordinary injuries. "Aktos walked towards the most seriously injured soldiers with the medical kit, the wounds on the bodies of these soldiers were no longer treatable by ordinary potions and surgeries, although the spell would have a certain effect on their bodies, but these effects were insignificant compared to death. With tweezers in his hand, Actos removed the fragments of the soldier in front of him who had been blown up by the evil cannon, and then cut open the wounds on his body that had been forcibly closed, which had begun to suppurate and die due to lack of treatment. The warrior had fallen into a semi-comatose state and was spared such pain, and Aktos hung him up to recover and then proceeded with the operation, where he needed to cut off the wound and clean up the pus, and finally stitch the wound up, and if there was no continuous treatment, then even if he did not die of wounds, he would have died of bleeding. After cutting off the dead flesh, Actos expertly stitched up the wound with medical needles and threads, and he learned not only the Holy Light spell at the Northshire Abbey, but also some techniques such as ambulance, after all, at some point, this technique was enough to save many lives. During the operation, the recovery technique was constantly fighting for the life of the warrior, giving Arctos enough time for the operation. After treating the last wound, a powerful treatment freed the warrior from the danger of death once and for all, and when he stepped aside, Arctos washed the blood and pus from his hands, extinguished the poison with a thin layer of holy light, and walked towards the other soldier. It's not that Glory Fort is without healers, it's just that these healers who once came with the army are now in more need of them: they stay on the front line, they run on the battlefield, and use the spells they have honed to quickly heal the warriors who are fighting the demons, and due to the lack of medical treatment, the doctors in the rear of the fortress can only do everything they can to maintain the lives of these warriors with the most rudimentary equipment, praying that they can survive until the end of the battle and the return of those healers. And the arrival of Actos gave them the possibility of survival, and the life consumption caused by the spell could simply be ignored compared to death. At the end of the day, Actos was so exhausted that he simply ate a piece of jerky and drank a few sips of water at noon, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. Many of the warriors here were wounded who had their hamstrings severed or cursed in battle with demons, and after being healed by Actos, they did not care about resting, and immediately rushed towards the battlefield with their shields and swords in hand, as if they were attending a rare dinner party. Danas handed Aktos a glass of water and said with a wry smile: "The situation on the front line is very serious, those demons are simply like crazy attacking the defense, every moment there are warriors sent to the rear, but more warriors are sleeping on the front line of the legion. The healers who accompany the army can only care for the most elite warriors, who are holding back the high-level demons, while the ordinary soldiers can only be bandaged until they die or are completely incapacitated. He sighed: "On the front line, it is already a great fortune to be alive, who cares about the loss of life." Actos lowered his head in some shame: "I'm sorry, if I can go one step further and become a hero, the spell damage can be minimized, but now you can only endure my rough and violent treatment." Danas poured a large sip of inferior ale, wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth, and handed a military emblem in his hand to Actos: "Here you go, this is proof that you have officially joined the son of Lothar, no matter where you go, as long as you carry this military insignia, the son of Lothar will fight side by side with you." Picking up the military badge and pinning it to his chest, Actos picked up the water and touched a glass with Danas before asking, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Arthur and them for a day today, do you know where they went?" Danas nodded: "Those two lads are very good, I gave them a small task to complete, calculate the time and they should also be back." As he spoke, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Ron and Scott walked in in blood-stained armor and placed the two large boxes on their shoulders directly in front of Actos: "Come on, see what gifts we have brought you." Curiously opened the box, one box full of neat healing potions and bandages, and the other box was some brand new medical equipment, Ron sat on the stool, took a large glass of ale, and drank nothing first, and then wiped his mouth: "It's considered alive, those orcs are really annoying, didn't they just grab two boxes of supplies, and they actually chased us for more than ten miles, and almost didn't run to kill me." Scott on the side didn't speak, just poured wine with a bang, and looked tired. But I got a lot out of it! Ron pulled out a new longsword from his back and put it on the table: "Look, the excellent greatsword is a perfect match for me, on the way to the orc watchtower, I teamed up with Scott to kill a patrol, who knew that the leading wolf cavalry actually carried such a good thing." The sharp long sword exuded a chill, and Aktos gently scraped it with his fingers on the blade: "Good thing, there is actually an enchantment, this should be some kind of elemental power, I haven't studied enchantment, but I can feel that this weapon has the ability to be icy." With a cheerful wave of the greatsword in his hand, Ron put it back on the sword rack again, then pointed at Scott and said, "It's not just me, Actos, do you know what happened to Scott?" Actos looked at Scott, the armor and shield on his body were still standard equipment, and the weapons had not changed, except for ...... Actos immediately pressed his hand on Scott's shoulder, and a white light appeared in his hand, and a rich holy light appeared on Scott's body. "Aha, Scott, you're advanced! Congratulations, you have felt the call of the Holy Light and officially become a paladin. Be your comrade-in-arms and be proud of you. "Actos hammered Scott, this guy actually advanced to become an official paladin without making a sound." yes, yes, this guy is really jealous, when we left that watchtower, we were attacked by a thief, and I was almost stabbed in the hole by the thief," he touched his chest: "At that time, the thief's sword almost pierced my chest, who knew that this guy smashed a shield and smashed the other party half to death, and then the holy light came out of his body, and the thief was cleaned up in two clicks." Only then did Scott stop being silent: "Ron, I'm a paladin." "What do you want to say?" Ron looked at Scott. "Trainee Knight Ron." "Damn you, are you going to go it alone?" Ron was instantly furious. Scott gave him a disdainful look, "When will you become an official paladin?" Pouring a large sip of ale wine, Ron waved his fist at Scott: "Wait, you can be proud in a few days, I can become a paladin in no time, and then beat you up, you guy." Actos looked at the two of them and laughed, Scott still cared so awkward about his brother. Looking at the lively appearance of the three of them, Danas said with a smile: "When I see you young people, I will feel that I am old." Actos hurriedly said: "You are not old, Glory Castle still needs you to sit in the town, and when the reinforcements break through the blockade of those demons, we also need you to lead the counterattack against the demons." Danas didn't say much, just took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Actos: "To the west of the fortress, there is a mine, which is our most important source of minerals, and if something goes wrong there, it will be a huge blow to the morale of Glory Castle. He watched as Actos opened the scroll and continued: "But in the last few days someone has noticed something unusual in the mines, some people claim to have found traces of demons, but when we sent soldiers over, there was nothing there, I heard what you did in the Western Plains, and thought you could take on the responsibility and go into the mines to see what was going on, if it was really demons, find them, kill them, and figure out what their plans were." Actos nodded and took the scroll into his arms: "Shall we go immediately?" Danas shook his head: "You don't have the strength today, and letting a tired warrior perform this kind of task is simply sending you to death, go back and sleep well, recuperate your spirits, and go back tomorrow morning with your potions." ”

After eating the last sandwich, Aktos and the Arthur brothers returned to the barracks, where they lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
