Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Braving the wind and snow, Hilke used a wooden board as a tool to dig out the corpses of the tribesmen one by one from the ruins.

The next second, looking at the dug-out head, Hilke's whole body was trembling.

"Clan, clan leader..."

That head belonged to Slavin, the leader of the prairie elves. Judging from the wound on his neck, it didn't look like he was killed by a weapon, but more like he was bitten to death by the sharp teeth of some kind of beast.

Silke didn't have any clue about this wound.

The giant lizard among the lizardmen likes to roll its prey into its mouth with its tongue and then bite it to death.

The familiar faces, including Slavin, tortured Silk's spirit. After digging in the back and being exposed to the wind and snow, his entire state was numb.

After confirming that all the corpses in the ruins were dug out, Silk placed the corpses in order and then counted them.

"one two three four……"

"wrong."

After counting, Silk realized that even if all the severed limbs and remains were added, the number of corpses would not match up at all.

[Could it be said that some members of the tribe survived? ! 】

As this thought flashed through, Silk's empty and numb eyes couldn't help but have a glimmer of light again.

"Go to them, go to them!"

While muttering to himself, Silk struggled to stand up from the snow.

However, the next second, he looked around and saw that the entire world around him was wrapped in snow.

The heavy snow covered the tracks they left, leaving him with no idea where to start.

At the same time, judging from the weather, a blizzard is probably coming soon. If he stays here, looking around like a headless fly, he will only risk his own life.

After realizing that there might still be many tribesmen alive, Silk's will gradually became firmer.

"I have to live and find other surviving tribesmen!"

With this thought in mind, Silk took the time to bury all the corpses of his clan members, and then got on his horse. After taking another deep look at the ruins of the village that seemed to be about to be completely swallowed up by the wind and snow, Silk pulled the reins. , turned and left.

At the same time, in Prairie Village, the snowstorm was getting heavier and heavier, and they began to make final preparations for the blizzard.

With last year's experience, under Ye Jinghong's arrangements, they have done all the work better this time, which also makes them more confident.

After hearing the latest work progress report, Ye Jinghong was about to make arrangements. At this moment, the copper bell on the sentry tower outside the village suddenly rang.

Although the knocking was not urgent, it was clear that something was going on.

[With this weather, what else can happen? 】

In the wind and snow, Ye Jinghong frowned. As if he thought of something, he hurriedly walked out of the village.

The militiamen who were near the entrance of the village had already arrived first. When they saw the village chief Ye Jinghong approaching, everyone made way for him to see Qiantose coming back at a glance.

Chitose came and went freely in the wind and snow, and today he walked around the grassland as usual, searching for traces of the enemy.

But if only Chitose came back, there would be no need for the sentry to ring the bell.

Just when Ye Jinghong was thinking this, Chitose shook his body and a figure fell off its back.

Ye Jinghong took a closer look, good guy, isn't this Silk? !

Looking at the situation, there is a high probability that Hilke fell on the road and was found by Chitose, who then picked him up.

As for the war horse lent to him, it was obvious that he had gone somewhere now.

Without time to think about it, Ye Jinghong quickly asked someone to send Hilke to the medical department for treatment.

After he finished handling the matter at hand, he stopped by the medical department and asked about Hilke's condition.

"There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear, village chief?"

The director of the medical branch in Prairie Village and Ye Jinghong are also old friends. Due to the huge work pressure, they would joke a little from time to time to relieve their emotions and stress.

Ye Jinghong undoubtedly knew this, so he didn't mind cooperating with his old friend.

"good news."

"The good news is that because the temperature was too low, his wounds were clotted, so there was no tearing or heavy bleeding."

"What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that this idiot now has severe frostbite all over his body! The situation is not much better!"

The medical minister was not polite at all to this guy who was restless and added extra workload to him and caused him trouble. He directly labeled Silk a 'idiot'.

If he could, he had the urge to throw Silk out and let him fend for himself to pay the price for his stupid behavior.

Of course, he knew that their leader had issued an order to properly arrange this guy, so he would not do that.

"Can it be saved?"

"He should be thankful that we gained a lot of relevant experience last winter."

At this point, the medical minister changed his subject.

"But I can't guarantee that I can definitely save him. If he dies if he can't be saved, then we can only blame him for his bad life."

Even in a modern society with highly developed medical care, whether some injuries can be cured depends on fate, let alone in this primitive era where medical standards are not developed.

"If he can be discovered by Chitose-sama and carried back, that means he is lucky."

"That's true."

The medical director only knew that Ye Jinghong had brought trouble to them, but he didn't know where the trouble came from.

After learning that Hilke was discovered by a passing Chitose and carried back, he had to admit that this guy was lucky.

After exchanging a few words, Ye Jinghong consciously stopped talking when he saw his old friend getting into working mode.

He actually didn't have any bad feelings towards Silk, and if you really wanted to say it, they were a lifelong friendship.

Whether it was considering the overall situation of the grassland, the order of their leader, or his little friendship, he hoped that Silk could survive.

Without staying at the medical department, Ye Jinghong turned around and walked outside.

"Notify me when Hilke wakes up."

"yes!"

After giving one simple instruction, Ye Jinghong walked away.

At this juncture, he still had a lot of confirmation and inspection work to do, but he didn't have the time to stay here.

By the time he finished all the work at hand, it was already evening.

Someone from the medical department came to inform him that the frostbite on Hilke's body had been initially treated, and it was unclear whether the other person could survive.

Again, it depends on whether his life is good or not.
