Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 16 After the War
Madeleine's last paralysis spell was issued, immobilizing the 3 goblins, and Rog shot them in turn, leaving only the last 3 goblins on the right. The three goblins did not flee either, and all of them screamed and fought in an attempt to leave a wound on their opponent's body. After all, they are all elites in the clan, and their courage and determination are much higher than those of ordinary clansmen.
It's just a pity that their efforts were in vain. Having lost the numerical superiority, the goblins' single combat power is really weak. As soon as Rog's bowstring was loosened, an arrow flew out with a "whoosh", and the last goblin on the field fell in response to the sound and died with a headshot.
When the dust settled, Rog picked up Orfina and let her lean into his arms, the girl had fainted from exhaustion, and the wound on her shoulder was still bleeding.
"Sonya, go and support William." Rogge said to Sonya, who had just returned. His own mind was now all on Orfina, and he didn't want to move anymore.
Sonia was covered in dark red blood from the goblins, but she was unharmed. The Assassin Maiden stared at the fainted Orfina for two seconds, held back the tears that were about to overflow in her eyes, wiped the goblin blood splashed on her face, and left silently.
Rog picked up Orfina and placed her flat in the dragon carriage, took out the wound medicine and bandages from the spatial ring, and called Madeleine for help. The two of them stripped off Orfina's coat, revealing her snowy shoulders and bleeding wounds, and prepared to draw their daggers. The Goblin Stalker's spurt thrust was powerful and the wound was deep, and Rog took two deep breaths to steady his slightly trembling hand.
Rogge held the handle of the dagger in both hands, while Madeleine held Orfina in one hand and a clean cloth in the other, ready to stop the bleeding. The two looked at each other, and Madeleine nodded. Rogge exerted his hands and quickly pulled out the dagger, and Orfina frowned and let out a snort of pain. The warm blood from the dagger splattered on Rogge's face, causing him a pain in his heart.
Madeleine quickly held the wound to stop the bleeding, and after a few moments, the two of them bandaged Orfina and arranged her clothes.
At this time, William returned, and the goblin on the left was also wiped out. The commander of this team of goblins turned out to be a high-level martial artist-level powerhouse, with fast movements and powerful moves. It's a pity that he suffered a racial loss in terms of strength, but he still couldn't beat William, and was finally split in half by William.
William stared blankly at the motionless Orfina in the car, the girl's eyes were closed, her face was pale, her original white and clean coat was stained with blood, and a goblin stalker dagger was thrown next to her, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the dagger. Madeleine, Lent, and the others were wiping tears from their eyes, and Rogge was holding Orfina's small hand with one hand, his expression gloomy and silent.
"Bang dang!" William's sword fell to the ground with his hand out of his hand. "Such a good girl, extremely talented, smart and beautiful. In the future, under the cultivation of the academy, he will inevitably become a superstar of the empire, why, why did he just leave? It's my fault that I didn't protect her! William thought silently.
Before leaving the Garin orphanage, Dean Karin's advice seemed to linger in her ears, and she told herself to protect her students. It's only been a few days, and her favorite child is gone, what kind of face do you have to see her again? William slowly walked towards Orfina step by step, the expression on his face was frustrated, remorseful, sad, and self-reproachful.
"Teacher William, Orfina she... Madeleine said as she wiped her tears from her eyes.
"Wow !!" William cried.
"She fainted from her injuries." Madeleine finished.
"Wow!! Huh? William's crying stopped, followed by ecstasy, and then, with a worried face, hurried over to check on Orfina.
William confirmed that Orfina was okay for the time being, and immediately arranged for Gray to ride a movable dragon horse to the front of Tiebi Town to ask for support. Gray cut off a goblin head as proof and rode off. Everyone took care of their wounds, and they didn't have extra strength to clean up the battlefield. Iron Wall City is not far from here, and support will arrive soon, so it will be up to them to clean up the battlefield.
But the corpses of the companions must be placed. The captain of the transport and the remaining Imperial soldiers carried their fallen comrades to one place, weeping grief.
The captain fulfilled his promise, and Holker's students were alive, although Orfina and all the melee warriors were wounded, but they were all alive. The convoy suffered heavy casualties, all 6 archers were killed, 5 infantry were killed, and 2 were seriously wounded and dying.
On the goblin side, 20 goblin archers, 40 goblin skirmishers, 30 goblin elite warriors, 10 goblin stalkers, a total of 100 goblins were wiped out.
It was undoubtedly a beautiful victory. The Imperial Transport Team and the students who have not yet entered the academy are William and Gray, a total of 32 people, against a sneak attack team composed of 100 elite goblins, and this kind of battle loss ratio can be written into textbooks.
The Imperial soldiers were brave and fearless, and the students played a big role in the battle.
First of all, Rogge, who has always been vigilant and is also the first person to fight back after being attacked. He killed a total of 21 goblins, and his superb marksmanship, accurate judgment, eagle-like eyes, and cool mind made this kill. The power of one person has reduced one-fifth of the total number of enemies, and one more has to be amazing.
Then there's Orfina, who quickly used healing and blessing to help her teammates stabilize their positions in the first few waves of attacks, so that the Imperial warriors were not so quickly attritional, and the goblins' ambush advantage was greatly reduced.
Orfina is the absolute core of the battle line, and without her, there is no hope of victory, and everyone must die. Not to mention that Orfina finally gave up healing herself, and controlled the Sword of Light to kill 12 goblins, laying the right side of the victory.
Sonya, as the only assassin present, the girl with perfect perception acted alone and killed 13 goblins, all of them shooting arrows on the right, greatly relieving the defensive pressure of the Imperial infantry and defender students.
Although Madeleine didn't kill the enemy, several paralysis spells were released in time to help her teammates complete the kill. Lunt and another defender, the student's support and ironclad defense perfectly protected their teammates. The Flame Mage student also had 4 heads in the account for the Flame Burst. The other melee warriors, who participated in the clearance of Gray and William, also performed well.
This group of freshmen from Holke Academy, before they were admitted to the hospital, once again showed their strength and potential.
In less than half an hour, Gray arrived with reinforcements. A squad of more than 20 Imperial regulars began to clean up the battlefield, and the two Light Mages also began to heal the wounded. Thankfully, reinforcements arrived quickly, and the two soldiers who were seriously wounded were able to save their lives.
After the initial healing, everyone left with the Light Mage and headed for Ironwall. When they came, less than half of them could stand when they came out of the pine forest, which was very miserable.
……
Iron Wall City, inside the barracks.
The superior wards are cool, breathable and comfortable. Orfina had been in a coma for two days, her magic was exhausted and she had lost a lot of blood, and even though her wounds had been healed, her body was still very weak.
Rog took Orfina's weak and boneless hand and watched her sleeping face in a daze, he had never stared at Orfina's face for so long. The 18-year-old girl is a little less childish and more delicate and beautiful than when she first saw her. Perhaps because of the day and night, Rogge only now realized the change in Orfina's appearance.
In the past two days, in addition to eating and going to the toilet, Rogge has been by Orfina's side. Orfina was injured and fell to the ground, Orfina bit her lip to release her magic, Orfina fainted from exhaustion, and the blood splattered from Orfina's wound when she pulled out the dagger...... Rog's mind kept replaying the scenes that had happened during the attack, and he still felt a little frightened.
"Huh... Orfina groaned softly, her eyelids jumping slightly. Rogge heard Orfina's voice and felt the little hand in his hand move, knowing that Orfina was about to wake up.
"Nana, Nana." Rogge called softly.
"Hmm..." Orfina opened her eyes, slightly confused by two days of sleep.
"Nana, you're finally awake." Rogge, who had been suppressed for two days, had moist corners of his eyes and red eyes. But when Orfina woke up, he smiled heartily.
Orfina's eyes gradually cleared and focused.
"Brother, your expression is so ugly now." Orfina turned her head to look at Rog beside the bed, a little disgusted.
Rogge didn't care, but smiled more happily, and his hands couldn't help but clench a little.
"Brother, my hand hurts a little, shake it lightly. You're not going to hold my hand all the time, are you? ”
"Oh, no, no... Rog lied and let go of his hand in a panic.
"Why don't you hold it? Hmph, you don't feel sorry for me. ”
"Huh? Uh, no, it's not... Rogge reached out again to grab Orfina's hand.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
"I'll get you chicken soup!" Rogge let go of the little hand he had just grabbed and fled. Orfina who has just woken up is not easy to deal with, so let's gag her mouth with food.
The nutritious chicken soup Rogge had already prepared for Orfina and had been simmering it over low heat, for fear that she would wake up and cry hungry. Rogge walked into Orfina's room with a large bowl from the kitchen, and the girl's eyes lit up when she smelled the rich fragrance.
"It's been done a long time ago? Brother is so nice! Orfina praised.
Rogge handed the bowl to Orfina. "Be careful."
Orfina took the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it and put it in her mouth. The girl who loves to read suddenly thought of the bridge she had seen, her eyes rolled, and she handed the bowl back to Rogge. "I'm still tired, brother feed me!"
Rogge took the bowl, a little confused. Orfina used to take the initiative to eat, and she never let him feed it, could it be that her body hasn't recovered and she is really tired?
Hey, hey, Rogge scooped up a spoonful of delicious amber chicken broth and brought it to Orfina's lips. I saw Ofina lightly open the two petal-like cherry lips, open her small mouth, and slowly suck the soup into her mouth, savor the taste of the soup, and then swallowed it with a slight movement in her throat.
Rog followed his gaze to Orfina's white jade neck, and swallowed unconsciously, almost missing the spoon.
"Nana can eat so beautifully?" Rogge remembered Orfina's "bold" eating appearance before, and felt that he was not the same person as the one in front of him.
In the second spoonful, Rogge's hand trembled slightly, and in order not to let the soup spill, the feeding speed was also slower. Orfina drank the soup and smiled sweetly at Rogge. Rog felt his nose wet, as if something was about to come out.
In the third scoop, Rogge's speed was even slower. The fourth, fifth, sixth...
Before Rogge could feed the sixth spoonful, Orfina snatched the bowl with her hand.
"Feed me so slowly, and only feed me soup and don't give me meat, I'm going to starve to death! Stinky brother, hate! Ofina couldn't help it anymore, so she didn't pretend anymore, and directly reached out and picked up the chicken leg in the bowl and gnawed it.
Rogge: ⊙_⊙
