Mount and Blade

The battle lasted for a whole day. When the night fell like a piece of black velvet, the soldiers of the Snake Cult retreated in the darkness. Their figures disappeared in the night like ghosts, leaving a mess on the ground. Only sporadic fire and painful groans were left on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the coalition were exhausted. Their victory came at a heavy price.

Soldiers vomiting black blood due to snake venom could be seen everywhere. Their lives were like candles in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time. There were also those soldiers who were seriously injured but not dead yet, wailing all over the ground in agony.

The Azure Disciples, who were accompanying military doctors, were immediately busy. All the top doctors in Barkley came from Azure Disciples.

After being poisoned by snakes and engaging in high-intensity combat, many soldiers obviously had no time to receive treatment. Even those who had time had to be immediately ligated and bled, and injected with a special serum developed to deal with snake venom from the Snake Worship Cult - antibodies from cattle, sheep, and horses that have a certain resistance to snake venom purified by many scholars of the Azure Disciples.

However, it is obvious that many soldiers are not in a mild state, and their limbs that have turned purple and black need to be amputated immediately to save their lives. Those soldiers who still had time needed to ensure that there were no wounds in their mouths and oral cavity even if they sucked out the venom, as any small crack would be fatal.

Green and Akasha were following behind the Azure Disciples to help, bandaging and fixing the wounded, cleaning and suturing, ligating, and bleeding. In such a cruel scene, even if they could do some insignificant help, it would be good, and perhaps their good deeds could save a few more precious lives.

Green was very surprised and surprised by Barkley's technical level. He didn't expect that in Barkley's capital, these doctors had already developed the centrifugal technology for making serum, which was quite laborious.

It was late at night, and the fire on the battlefield gradually went out. The soldiers who were to be transported and treated also gathered together, leaving only the oil lamps in the hands of the Azure Disciples still flickering. Their figures seemed particularly lonely in the night, but they became the only people who could give warmth and hope to the wounded.

It was almost dawn, and these doctors didn't have time to rest for a while.

The Azure Disciple followed by Green and Ikasha was named Dolfno, the second son of a declining noble. He was a scholar who resolutely chose to become a doctor because of his belief in the goddess of justice and his desire to save more lives of people persecuted by the Snake Cult.

Green and Ikasha had already mastered the method of injecting serum with a syringe with Dolfno tonight. Although the thickness of those needles was not as thin as in the previous life, it was enough to save lives in such a tight time.

The survivors who were gathered together and had been poisoned by snakes looked much better, but many of them were still running a fever.

The Azure Disciples' primary task was to treat the soldiers poisoned by snakes, and other simple wound treatments could be left to ordinary military doctors and soldiers.

In the early morning, the Azure Disciples finished their work one after another and sat on the ground, preparing to take turns to rest for a while.

"...In Crest, my like-minded friends and I learned a lot of knowledge there. We studied human medicine and how to deal with the curse of the snake cult, as well as those poisonous things. We first experimented on animals."

"It was not as smooth as we imagined at the beginning. The animals died, the serum was not produced, and we did not think about injecting it into the blood vessels. The coagulation reaction took away countless pioneers."

"Everything has gone through countless experiments and the sacrifice of volunteers who were poisoned by snakes and had no other options. Even... I have to admit that medicine cannot save everyone, but I have always believed that it will definitely save the lives of most people."

Dolphno leaned against the big stone and told Green about his experience as a scholar of the Azure Disciple in Crest. Soon, he fell asleep tiredly leaning against the big stone.

And Akasha had already fallen asleep on Green's shoulder, and Green was a little sleepy. Looking at Dolphno, who was tired and full of faith as a doctor, Green felt a little nostalgic for the days when he was an assistant at the operating table. Because of his excellent performance, he was allowed to assist in some small surgical operations.

Usually a major operation takes more than ten hours. I always fall asleep in the corridor. I have lost my hunger due to exhaustion. Hypoglycemia is also common. I always bring one or two candies to eat at the end of work.

Candies...what does it taste like? I haven't tasted it for too long and I can't remember it clearly.

With the initial memory, Green also fell into a deep sleep.

[Sword Wind]

Early in the morning, everyone followed the scouts who came to pick up Kadi and rushed to the port. They were greeted by a Jodah thousand-man captain, Wolf.

Dozens of paddle boats used to transport soldiers were lined up neatly. Jodah's soldiers were already ready to go and boarded their respective ships one after another according to the instructions of the quartermaster.

Following Wolf's footsteps, they soon came to a warship that was larger and more magnificent than other warships - "The Fury".

It was a large three-sailed warship, about 36 meters long and 5 meters wide, with a paddle of 4 meters. It was much larger than other ships, and a bronze hammer was installed on the bow.

In addition to using human power to row, it also used wind power. There were two types of sails on the ship, a small sail for strong winds and a large sail for weak winds.

There are dozens of cannons installed between the interlayers of the hull. The existence of these cannons makes the "Stormfury" not only a transport ship, but also a powerful warship.

Green remembered seeing a similar ship in Pence's library. It was a ship type commonly used by the Vanskerry people, but the Vanskerry people did not install decent cannons on the hull, and it was not as thick and tall as the "Stormfury".

It is said that Jodah has studied a batch of warships that can carry more cannons, but the war lasted for nearly a hundred years and lasted too long, so it has never been put into practice.

The ironclad ship owned by Mettenheim, which separated from Barclay, seems to be able to install dozens of cannons on the hull, but the ship is said to be driven by magic, and there is not much magic left in the land of Pendor or Barclay. Only the dragon tear gem that has been circulating in the continent of Pendor for many years still contains magic.

The salty and humid sea breeze reflected the morning glow, and they soon followed the footsteps of the centurion Wolfe and boarded the "Stormfury". The captain was a naval commander named Koseliff.

Luckily, they could live in the more spacious room next to the captain's room on the top floor.

Looking at the endless sea, the sound of waves hitting the rocks and the beach made Green feel that his heart was beating vigorously. This was the scenery that every inland man had hoped for.

The sun had risen above the horizon, and the sea surface gradually showed golden light. A new journey to Grant was about to begin.
