Chapter 158: "It's Strange"

The field hospital in Brownhill has finally welcomed its own "guest".

They were all wounded removed from the Silver Corridor, and their numbers were so large that they almost immediately reached the limit of Brownhill Field Hospital.

Although the young doctors had undergone emergency training before this, they still had a deep sense of fear when they actually faced the wounded.

Adaptation takes time.

When the miserable and terrible soldiers from various injuries were brought to the hospital beds, few of them could maintain absolute composure and composure.

The number of wounded was so great that even a mage like Xiuge had to go to the field hospital to help out after completing the daily maintenance of the protective secrets, and once this work began, there seemed to be no end in sight.

The power of magic has been thoroughly integrated into all human activities throughout the long development and history of Vann, so even though Xiuge's knowledge of medicine is very limited, he is still able to complete many auxiliary tasks according to the requirements and instructions of the doctors.

Stopping bleeding, immobilizing, relieving pain, comatosing the casualty, or keeping the casualty awake......

When necessary, he even needs to summon the hands of several mages to help deliver various tools or supplies.

At the same time, the scale of the field hospital began to expand, and a large number of temporary tents and houses were set up near the original hospital, which would be used to house the soldiers who were relatively lightly wounded, and in the process, Xiuge had to work with other mages to "expand" the original protective secret instrument to a certain extent, so that all the medical tents that were added later were all enveloped.

In the space of more than ten days, Xiuge has witnessed a large number of tragedies.

Before magic was used for medical treatment and first aid, it was first used to cause death and death.

In a way, magic and magic are similar to weapons such as firearms, they are both tools that can be used by humans to slaughter their own kind or other intelligent beings, and the history of magic is so long that it is clear how to use it.

It is precisely for this reason that even though there are many members of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment who are good at healing magic, and there are senior doctors like Professor Mayer in the field hospital, the survival rate is still a big problem for the soldiers who are sent here.

The trauma suffered by soldiers on the battlefield is often not limited to flesh wounds.

Magical injuries such as magic explosions and crystallized shrapnel often cause a lot of trouble, for example, Shuge saw a case of a young soldier whose body was injured by the shrapnel of a crystallized cannonball, and the shrapnel containing the chaotic magic was left directly inside his body, and when Professor Mayer tried to remove the shrapnel, he found that his flesh and internal organs had shown signs of necrosis under the influence of those chaotic magic.

In this case, no amount of potions and healing magic could barely continue his life......

There are countless others who have lost limbs to the shot of crystallized guns in battle, or who have suffered brain and mental damage from the explosion of cannonballs. ….

In such a group of soldiers, those with broken bones can only be regarded as cowards, and those who are missing two fingers can be considered qualified soldiers, but if there are people who are missing arms and legs to stand there, everyone will bow down.

Even after being wounded and leaving the front line, these young people are still full of confidence in this war, and they are extremely excited by the victory of the "Silver Corridor", and they are also full of enthusiasm for the next form of war.

But in fact, the frenzy of "defense" has already surged.

In the present situation, the benefits of an active offensive were too limited, and the offensive of the Saint-Steeles in the north had begun to slow down, and the advance of the Saint-Stills would become more difficult when reinforcements from other principalities arrived at the Issa.

From Alfred's mouth, Hug learned that the northern soldiers had in fact suffered very exaggerated casualties, but the royal family and government of the Kingdom of St. Steele had too high expectations for this war, and they did not allow any at the moment

The real numbers and messages of the effect are transmitted outward.

At a time when the old tactics have been completely shattered, everyone has begun to become conservative.

And the Deland army is undoubtedly the most conservative side.

Losing tens of thousands of people in one sitting-day offensive was an exaggerated casualty figure that had never been seen before, let alone the Derans, and even the people of Wattle were terrified when they heard the news.

This means that people will slaughter each other faster than ever on the battlefield, and for ordinary people, it will mean that their loved ones, or themselves, will be more difficult to survive when they arrive on the battlefield.

No one wants to die as an icy number, not even the brave, belligerent Waterlloes.

The order from Bolden gave the troops a breakthrough, and a term that was all too familiar and extremely resistant appeared to the officers of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment.

That's the "trench".

"magically hardened trenches?"

When he got his hands on the brand-new handbook handed out by the Council, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, because the cover of the handbook reads, "How to build and protect a trench."

Written by the Waters military in conjunction with the Mage Council, this handbook explains how military mages can help the army build strong, safe, and maintain trenches and bunkers over time.

The manual was obviously written in a hurry, but it was already very comprehensive, and Huge even saw in it the content of "how to build a toilet properly", and it was clear that in the eyes of the commanders, these trenches were not just bunkers for soldiers against artillery fire, bullets and magic, but also very likely to become a residence for soldiers.

Or even a long-term residence.

And with this handbook arrived, two things.

The first is a transfer order for the Fifth Chasseur Corps, according to the requirements, all members of the Fifth Chaulting Corps need to complete the assembly and preparation of personnel and materials within two days, and wait for the next order at any time.

Secondly, there is a new batch of ordnance supplies. ….

However, after seeing the contents of this batch of supplies, Xiuge couldn't relax at all.

Because this was not a regular supply at all, Xiuge saw that in this batch of supplies there was not only the "Kalfan Heavy Machine Gun" that shined in the "Silver Corridor", but also a sufficient amount of alchemy bombs, spell books, various ammunition, and dozens of sets of spellcaster equipment that matched the sword-wielding hermits of the Dharma, including special armor that could protect against ordinary crystalline ammunition and portable secret instruments against conventional magic.

This is obviously preparing for the Fifth Chasseur Regiment to gnaw hard bones.

Two days later, Syug's premonition was perfectly fulfilled.

……

Except for a few alchemists who needed to keep the field hospital running and take care of the wounded, all the members of the Fifth Hunting Regiment boarded the steam truck in the early morning two days later and headed for the designated location.

Sally's name appeared without a doubt on the list of alchemists who had been left behind.

This is the result of a hint of refinement.

In the same way, Professor Mayer did not want the student he loved so much to follow the Fifth Chasseur Regiment on an adventure to the front.

As the Fifth Hunting Regiment set out, the girl could not hold back her tears, but she could only join the rest of the people who remained, as well as the residents of Brownhill, as she watched the vehicles carrying her friends and teacher drive off into the distance.

After the last car disappeared from view, Sally wiped away her tears, silently prayed in her heart for Shug, Meyer, Verin, and many more members of the Fifth Hunting Regiment, and then returned to the field hospital in silence, there was still a lot more to do, and today was just a new beginning.

Mayer and Shuge were in the same car, and the two of them talked as they felt the cold wind that kept blowing on their cheeks.

"I left her with a lot of tasks and tasks, so you don't have to worry too much."

Hearing this sentence from Meyer,

Xiuge was a little surprised: "Professor, is there any direct connection between these two things?"

"Ha, not only medical topics, but also some articles that I have written and collected before...... This girl is really smart, and my gut tells me that her achievements should not be limited to medicine, but that she should be able to develop somewhere else."

Hearing this, Xiuge was slightly stunned: "Very high, so you mean that Sally may become a scholar like you?"

As if he had an insight into Xiuge's thoughts, Meyer smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where she comes from, it doesn't matter how much she has learned in the past, she's young and smart, and with the right guidance, she will naturally start to grow...... It's like a sapling that has been dry for a long time and finally ushered in the rain."

"I can't argue with you."

Shuge laughed too, he looked at the soldiers who were in the same car with him, then at the front of the vehicle, and then said, "Professor, I remember you said before that you want to see how this war changes and develops?"

"Yes."

"Do you still think so? You've seen it, the refugees, the wounded soldiers......

Shuge stared at the man beside him and asked, "Haven't you changed your mind?" As soon as we reach the front, we are the enemies of the Deran army and the rest of the Plains, I am a mage, so I will definitely be a murderer and butcher in their eyes, and you may be a doctor, but all the soldiers who have been rescued and healed will return to the battlefield and cause new killings and deaths...... What do you think about this?" ….

Meyer looked around, and he winked at Shug, who raised his hand in understanding and quickly constructed several magic patterns, so that the ritual that could block out the sound immediately enveloped the two of them.

The soldiers were not surprised by Xiuge's sudden spell casting, it was too normal for a mage to behave like this.

What's more, Xiuge has a closer relationship with them than the other military mages—after all, the vast majority of young people here have heard of Xiuge's name, and they are even proud of it.

"Now you can speak."

Meyer nodded, he looked at the young faces in the car, and then sighed, "I don't resist war, or rather, I don't resist...... A war that can bring about 'justice' and 'progress.'"

"Oh?"

Meyer's words surprised Shugg, whose views were completely different from those of other doctors whose mission was to save lives and patients.

"The forms and causes of war are diverse, territory, resources, ethnicity, hatred...... I don't know how many times this has happened in the past in the Van, but how many of them can bring benefits to the Van, or the vast majority of the intelligent races living in the Vanne?"

He shook his head, "There are only a handful."

"This war is special, it is different from all previous wars...... After interviewing those refugees, I thought a lot, and it dawned on me that even if the influence of the Black Sun Society was stripped away, this war would still happen."

Mayer looked at Shug, "I think this is the contradiction that will inevitably arise when Vann reaches a new stage of development, and the Black Sun Society, whatever their purpose, only exacerbates the development of this process."

"But obviously, the nature of this war is not 'just', and everyone has become accomplices in this war, you, me, and these young people...... I don't doubt their love for Wattle and the plateau, nor do I deny their belief in the Giant Eagle, but it has nothing to do with the essence of this war."

"It is a war between robbers and robbers, and everything they have to fight for revolves around their own interests, and they want to re-divide everything that has passed, and in doing so, they will push their reign to new heights, and for all this they will ignore even those crises that are close at hand, which may threaten the whole of Vann, and naturally the suffering of the 'majority, in the midst of this war and turmoil.'"

Mayer's words silenced Sugg.

It's the right thing to do to set up soundproofing magic,

If the soldiers were to know that Professor Mayer, whom they respected, would have this assessment of the war, then they would most likely have some emotional expressions.

But then, Shugg overhears Mayer's question, "Mr. Shugg, you look ...... Don't disagree with me?"

"Huh?"

Hugg turned his head, and then he saw Meyer staring at him intensely, and the professor said, "You know what? Even in Saint-Stihl, the friends with whom I founded the newspaper could not fully agree with me, but you ...... But it seems acceptable? It's weird."

Shuge shrugged, "yes, that's weird.".
