Chapter 044: Elite Loss

Qi Lang regained consciousness in the infirmary.

It wasn't the credit of the military doctor Aiden, the middle-aged man with the long nose was already busy, he had a room full of injuries to take care of, and he didn't bother to take care of an injury like Qi Lang.

It was his good friend Gulf, and it was his persistent call that made Qi Lang finally come to his senses.

"How is the Earth Dragon?" the ugly mutant creature was still Qi Lang's greatest concern, but after he asked, he found that he was actually a little slurred.

He stretched out his hand and touched it, it turned out that his entire head had been bandaged, and his forehead was also in terrible pain, and it was estimated that he must have swollen a large bag.

"I didn't succeed, it was Lieutenant Maggie who killed it. The joy on Gulf's face was immediately replaced by frustration, "I almost cost you your life......

Mei Ji, who had changed into casual clothes, walked to Qi Lang's bedside, although there was a sweet smile on her face, but the short eyebrows were locked. It seemed that her mood was not very high, but she still comforted Gulf very intimately: "Don't say that, you are already very good--have you woken up, Corporal Qi Lang? ”

Qi Lang wanted to smile at the captain of the guard to apologize, but most of his face was wrapped in bandages, and he wouldn't see it even if he smiled like a flower, and he would risk worsening his injuries.

"You lie still. Maggie patted Qi Lang on the shoulder and stopped the soldier who didn't listen to the command in time, "Second Lieutenant Aiden said that your skull is intact, but it may take two months for the swelling to fully recover." You're going to have to stay here honestly. ”

Qi Lang struggled and nodded, and lay back obediently, only then did he have the opportunity to take a closer look at the surrounding environment: the spacious infirmary was already overcrowded, more than two hundred beds were occupied, and the sound of humming filled his ears. On the next bed lay Felix, whose head was also tangled and still hadn't woken up. Moody and a few other henchmen were guarding his side carefully, but they didn't look nervous yet - he was obviously fine, as he was going to get the best possible care.

There were a few familiar faces lying on the side, including Sean, Marley, Jones...... However, some of them had already sat up, but they had just hung up some small prizes, and they would soon be back in the group, as usual.

But in most of the inner part, things are terrible. Most of them were the soldiers of the Twenty-sixth Warband, and several of the beds had been covered, and on top of them were green flags embroidered with the dragon knight emblem. The medical staff in charge of carrying the corpses were busy, all sweating profusely, as if they were the warriors who had just fought the Earth Dragon.

In the center of the infirmary lay Kenny, who had the largest crowd around. The Medic Aiden seemed to have just come to a bad conclusion there, because Qi Lang saw several soldiers covering their heads in extreme pain and squatting down. But Quill still stood like an iron tower as usual, and despite the anger on his face, he stayed there.

"Captain Kenny," Gulf whispered into Zirang's ear, "his beast pet Vig was torn to pieces by the Earth Dragon, and he himself was invaded by the poisonous mist, and it seems that Aiden can't save him......"

"How can this be?!" Qi Lang cried out in surprise, but the voice sounded like a child with his mouth covered, and he couldn't hear the number at all.

Gulf raised his index finger at the edge of his mouth, signaling Qi Lang to be quieter, and still whispered to him the news he had just analyzed: "The twenty-sixth battle group is over! All of their thirty-five middle-level martial artists have been killed, and their overall combat effectiveness can no longer rank in the top ten of the whole army." The trump card of Xia Qi Town is over!"

"No wonder Quill still has an angry face when facing his comrades who are about to die, and that's probably why?" Qi Lang secretly guessed in his heart, "Captain Kenny is also said to be a very good non-commissioned officer, but this time he has fought thousands of miles. I really can't figure out how the Ministry of Military Affairs arranged to transfer the troops back from the south, and before they had time to rest, they were sent to the battlefield to fight a decisive battle with mutant beasts of unknown strength, did they want to bring down their army?"

"Quill, it's all my fault. Kenny was probably looking back, and he struggled to sit up, so that the soldiers next to him were completely stunned. At this moment, his face was full of apologies, not sad that he was about to die, but full of regret for this terrible battle.

"I should have listened to you and Maggie's advice......" he said in a fit-in-and-a-start.

"Yes!!!" Quill's fire was lit, and he almost roared, "You irresponsible creature, do you want to die like this?

There was silence all around, and the wounded soldiers seemed to be able to endure their injuries at this point—they all looked at Kenny quietly, as usual, expecting the two Shachage guard captains to continue their quarrel for more than a decade.

But Kenny has given up his original interest, and it looks like he's going to throw in the defeat in a discouraging final argument: "Quill, I've got to give them to you." I'm sorry......"

Kenny is dead.

After saying this, his head drooped, and no matter how angry Quill scolded, he did not respond.

Aiden silently lays Kenny flat on the bed, takes an Imperial flag from the nurse, and respectfully covers Kenny's body.

All the soldiers in the infirmary seemed to have turned into corpses, so silent that even a needle could turn into a thunderclap when it fell to the ground. Several of the soldiers guarding Kenny's side sat on the ground with their heads down, their hearts so heavy that they almost suffocated.

But no one cried, because the soldiers of the Luman Empire never liked to cry, especially the Spiral Front, which would make them feel disgraced as soldiers.

There was no doubt that Kenny's death was a huge loss, and the Twenty-Six Warbands were not only devastated, but they suffered more than 300 casualties. Indeed, as Gulf analyzed, Xia Qizhen's original patron saint vitality was greatly damaged, and their current comprehensive combat ability may not even be comparable to the White Cha Army, which accounts for half of the female soldiers.

But the frustration of the 26th War Group is not over, after clearing all the earth dragons in the Iron Snake Forbidden Zone, they have been back to Xia Qi Town for more than a week, but the Ministry of Military Affairs has not yet given a clear answer, what is the purpose of the high-level people, to the 26th to run around and work tirelessly to face those most powerful mutants on land. In fact, the fighters complained more about why the Ministry of War didn't inform them in advance in the briefing so that they were fully prepared for battle, so that they would not have to pay such a big price at least then.

Compared with the gloom and misery of the 26th Regiment, these recruits of the 27th Regiment are recovering well. Thanks to Quill and Ardis in front, helping the stormtroopers to resist most of the dragon's edges, and Maggie's guerrilla tactics were well arranged, among the fifty-five beginner warriors who went into battle, except for the slightly more serious injuries suffered by the self-asserted Qi Lang, the rest were mostly traumatic, and all returned to the team to resume regular training within two weeks.

Of course, Qi Lang didn't lie in bed for two months as planned, in fact, his injuries healed earlier than others, and it only took ten days to remove all the bandages on his own. This incident embarrassed the military doctor Aiden, because he had never been so unreliable in predicting injuries, so that he doubted his medical skills, and ran to the library to look through the ancient classics for a long time, and his myopia had deepened a lot, but he still did not come up with an answer.

In order to prove that he didn't look away, Aiden forcibly pressed Qi Lang to the infirmary for an extra week, forcing him to complete all the questions in the "Imperial Sergeant Knowledge and Ability Test". As a result, Qi Lang answered a score of 96 that was close to a perfect score, confirming that his brain was not damaged in the slightest and did not leave any sequelae.

As a result, Aiden came to the conclusion that the soldier was a freak from the East, and his self-healing ability was close to that of a wild animal, so it was not his fault. Of course, he did not forget to use this medical miracle to ask for some credit for himself - there is a treatment experience about Qi Lang, after his rewriting, has been published in the authoritative medical journal "Holy Love and Benevolence", in addition to receiving a generous remuneration, he also has a good chance to be judged as the first person in the empire in the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injury.

In fact, Qi Lang himself knew very well what was wrong with all this, because he had secretly consulted Iglu, and as expected, it was thanks to the help of the snow wolf that he was able to miraculously recover.

Although Iglu did not explain everything clearly, one thing was clear - he cherished Qi Lang's body and did not want his parasitic body to be mortally damaged. Of course, due to the constraints of his rank, it is impossible for Iglu to show up and participate in the battle blatantly like Ardis now, but he can still make some small moves in private.

This is of course a lucky thing for Qi Lang, but it will also cause some minor troubles, as he will face more malicious curses and suspicions, such as Felix. The arrogant squad leader had been lying in bed for a full month, and in fact everyone could see that he had been injured much less than Qi Lang. But he could swear to God that he had never thought of using this as an excuse to escape the dull and tedious daily training, and that all the unjust suspicions he had received were the work of the slave of the East!
