Chapter 240: Return to the palace and return to life
"Boss, how are you?"
Zode panicked, quickly took a big step forward and reached out to support the crumbling Xiao Yi, and after hugging Xiao Yi hard, he felt his body leaning softly on his body, and suddenly felt horrified.
Because since he met Xiao Yi, in his mind, Xiao Yi's figure may not be tall and strong enough, but he has always been a tough image of Mount Tai who does not bend at the waist, even in the face of a difficult situation, he has not lost his demeanor and calmness, and such a weak state is unprecedented.
As if sensing Zode's worry, Xiao Yi eased his mind and reluctantly spoke:
"Don't worry, I'm not in danger of my life, I just need to get some rest!"
"Don't worry! I didn't lie to you...... What kind of expression are you! It's not normal to be a little injured, don't you think that I will really be injured at all in the face of a saint-level master!"
Looking at Zode's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Xiao Yiqiang squeezed out a smile.
He looked at the others and said, "It's better to deal with the injuries on your body quickly, especially you!
Saying that, Xiao Yi took out a few bottles of high-grade recovery potions from the space, but he was now weak and didn't even have the strength to take the potion, and the medicine was directly extracted from the space and placed in Zode's arms.
Zode looked at the potion in his arms, and after confirming that it was a high-end product, he quickly took out a bottle and unscrewed it and handed it to Xiao Yi's mouth, but the other party shook his head and refused.
"I know you care about me, but healing potions are for external injuries, and I'm suffering from internal injuries, so it's of little use to me. ”
Zode looked at Xiao Yi's eyes and didn't look like a fake, and thought that with his boss's ability, he would definitely not treat this potion as a rare thing to save, so he carried the medicine bottle and poured it into himself as he said.
Feeling the effect of the medicine quickly taking effect in the body, although the feeling of weakness caused by excessive bleeding has not been reduced, the wound has stopped bleeding and begun to heal, and the pain in the heart is also decreasing.
Heavy-hearted, Zod threw the rest of the medicine to Eric and the Dire' agent Both, and with Zod as the foundation, the two drank the potion without hesitation.
"What about Wilkinson?"
Xiao Yi saw that there was still a bottle of medicine left in Zode's arms that had not been sent out, and when he went out to get the medicine, it was prepared according to the head, and suddenly found that Wilkinson, the general of the Dongzhen garrison, was missing among the people present, and asked.
Hearing this, the faces of several people darkened significantly, although Xiao Yi was very weak now, but this change still couldn't escape his eyes, and the meaning represented in it was also obvious.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Yi said with a sigh.
Eric replied in a deep voice, "I checked before I came...... It's already out of breath!"
Xiao Yi closed his eyes in some pain: "I miscalculated, I was indeed reckless tonight!"
"I can't blame you, just now my battlefield was relatively close to him, I can see very clearly how he died!" At this time, the royal agent Bos on the side spoke up.
“...... Because he didn't use the life-saving magic weapon you gave him from beginning to end, he was simply arrogant and stupid. I admit that his strength is indeed very strong, according to legend, he is one of the most powerful swordsmen in the Eighth Order of the Empire, and this Eric beside me is probably willing to bow to this alone.
The other party divided four people to 'take care of' him, but he still coped with it easily, and only hit him when the last man died, but this time it killed him!
The generals of the military have always been conceited, they think that they can change everything by taking advantage of the superiority in numbers and strength, and they look down on conspiracy and trickery, what is the result now?
Even if he knew that there had always been a lot of trouble between the royal agent and the military, he still felt a little too much after listening to Bose's remarks, after all, now as a companion who fought together, the behavior of speaking ill to each other before the bones were cold was no longer a factional struggle that could be prevaricated, and it could only be said that this person's nature had a root of cruelty and indifference.
Thinking of this, even Xiao Yi frowned a little, what kind of people did the 'Dire' absorb, or what kind of temperament they would cultivate their members into, with the people in front of them as a reference, Mei Jie, who originally had a cold personality, was a little more kind compared to him.
Regardless, the Dire member was still a companion so far, and Eric and Zord wouldn't say it to their faces, even if they were disgusted in their hearts and faces, and even if they did, they wouldn't necessarily care.
Xiao Yi first asked Zode to help him to check Wilkinson's body, after all, for a high-level alchemist, the baseline for judging a person's death is far lower than what a normal person knows, but unfortunately Xiao Yi can't help after checking it, because no matter what standard you look at, the result of being pierced by a sword is that you can't see it anymore.
I can only dispose of the corpse a little, and then take it away and return to the palace to recover my life.
Naturally, it took some trouble to carry the corpse to the guards at the city gate and the palace, so it was already dawn when he returned to the palace after some delay.
The main hall above Vincent and a group of important ministers were all present, obviously waiting for Xiao Yi's results without sleeping at all.
But when Xiao Yi briefly retold the ins and outs of the future with a bunch of 'wounded soldiers and remnants', everyone was silent for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi stood up and saluted to one of the people beside Lodivan: "Grand Commander Sita, it is really a shame that I failed to bring your subordinates back safely this time, please allow me to extend my sincere apologies and condolences to you!"
And the person opposite was naturally Wilkinson's prefect - the commander of the defenders of the Imperial East Town, and there was no wavering or obvious change in expression on his typical serious face of a soldier:
"No need! A soldier has dedicated his life to the empire since he joined the army, and it is his honor to be able to dedicate himself loyally, this is his duty! It's just that he is dead and you are still alive, this is the result, and I have nothing to say!"
These words made Zode next to him almost jump up, even if he didn't understand the world, he could hear the resentment in the other party's words at this moment.
The unfulfilled meaning is clear: "I'd rather die to you than mine"!
"...... Sita" Vincent shouted in a heavy tone, which was regarded as a warning to the commander of the Eastern Army, but the next words were directly interrupted by the other party's kneeling!
"Your Majesty, Wilkinson is a powerful general under my command, and sacrificing his life for the country tonight will greatly affect the layout and morale of our army's defense line, and in order to properly handle it, I need to rush back to the defense line as soon as possible, and my Majesty respectfully requests to retire. ”
After saying that, he saluted and got up, and left with his subordinates.
