Chapter 614: Staff of Asclepius!
Imperial Territory.
Located in the Forest on the Southeast Sea side of Mount Famu, about thirty kilometers away.
Most of The Empire's Routed Soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the Battlefield were gathered here, temporarily under the command of Air Force General Bud, numbering around a hundred thousand.
However, this didn't mean only these people survived; there were certainly others who had scattered and fled to other places.
Alas!
A Great Army of six hundred thousand, including various Danger Beasts like Flame Rabbit and Giant Crab, totaling nearly seven hundred thousand Living Beings, were actually beaten into such a state. One can imagine how shocked and Angry the Imperial Capital would be upon receiving the News.
It's worth mentioning.
The place where Bud and the others were currently located was precisely the site of Night Raid's first Secret Base in the Canon.
Therefore.
There was a River winding along the edge of the Forest and a pool of clear, boundless Lake water, with many large and small Fish within.
This solved their Water Source and Food problems.
However.
What was more important at this moment was to quickly provide treatment for the Injured Officer and Soldier.
Almost every day, hundreds of people died from severe Injuries, causing the temporary crematorium built in the distance to emit Thick Smoke day and night.
For this reason, at the strong Requirement of General Bols, the Emperor in the Imperial Capital still Dispatch two Imperial Arms User who possessed Strategic Class Imperial Arm.
Now that The Empire's Army Unit had suffered heavy losses, if they didn't try their best to save these remaining hundred thousand people, they would truly have no Troops left to use.
At this moment.
As a Large Ship pulled by four Giant Eagles flying down with Rope landed on the Open Ground in the Forest that Bud had specifically ordered cleared.
First, a group of Armored Guards disembarked and set up a perimeter.
Then a young man and woman slowly walked down from the Ship and came before Bud, who looked somewhat dejected.
"Hello, Admiral Bud."
"I am Yin of the Imperial Guard, an Imperial Arms User of 'Asklepios', responsible for treating the Injured here."
"I am Natala, an Imperial Arms User of 'Dimensional Array'. Following His Majesty's Order, I am responsible for sending everyone back to the Imperial Capital Military Camp for recuperation."
The Girl who called herself Yin had her light yellow hair tied in a single ponytail, her blue Eyes were bright like Hoshi, and she held a Wooden Coiled Snake Staff with a distinct ancient Characteristic.
Overall, she looked like a Magical Girl with a slender and graceful Posture and fair, delicate skin.
The other person, a male who introduced himself as Natala, also had medium-length yellow hair, though the color was brighter than the Girl's. His Pupil was a deep lake blue, giving off a very clean Feeling.
"Are you siblings?"
Bud looked at their appearances and asked with Doubt.
He had met the previous generation of Strategic Class Imperial Arms User, but this was his first time meeting the new generation.
Even when they rushed to the Mount Famu Battlefield using 'Dimensional Array' before, they didn't see the Imperial Arms User themselves appear.
Because they only needed to stand on the designated Array, and as soon as the Radiance lit up, they were Teleported to the location in the blink of an Eye.
As for why these two didn't use 'Dimensional Array' but instead traveled by the more primitive 'Airship'.
That requires explaining the Teleportation Principle of the former.
'Dimensional Array: Shangri-La', according to The Empire's official records, is a space-movement type Imperial Arms.
Its Ability is to Teleport the selected people and objects within the 'Eight Trigrams Array' to a Position designated by the Imperial Arms User, but this consumes a large amount of the Imperial Arms User's Stamina, so it cannot be activated continuously.
The key lies in the Condition of the 'designated Position'.
To put it simply, accurate designated Teleportation can only be performed to a place the Imperial Arms User has personally been to and marked with 'The Coordinate'.
Note that 'The Coordinate' can be placed in Mid-air where there are no objects.
In addition, there is also Random Teleportation.
As the name suggests, it Teleports the Target to a place even the Imperial Arms User doesn't know.
However, the Imperial Arms User can activate the Array again within twelve hours, and as long as the Target at the other end is still within the Array's Validity Period, they can be Teleported back the same way.
Finally, it also has a Profound Secret Technique, which is to send the Target to the so-called 'World's End', which is actually somewhere in Outer Space.
As for whether it's the 'End', that is not Understand.
Therefore.
Since Natala had not been here before, if he wanted to quickly Teleport these hundred thousand Troops back near the Imperial Capital, he had to come in person.
"Uh, no, no."
Upon hearing General Bols' words, Yin waved her hands repeatedly, then looped her arm through Natala's, showing a bright Smile, and said openly, "Natala is my boyfriend. I just confessed to him last month!"
"Hehehe."
Natala, on the other hand, blushed slightly out of embarrassment.
"Alright, then please treat my Subordinate as soon as possible. Even now, some might not have held on."
Bud, who was not in a good Mood, didn't pay attention to this and directly stated his Requirement.
"Okay!"
Yin released Natala's arm and became serious in her Attitude: "Please lead the way."
Soon.
Led by Bud, Yin and Natala, accompanied by a group of Military Officers, arrived at the Zone specifically arranged for the Injured.
As soon as they approached this place, the Air was first filled with a strong Smell of Blood, but what was most unbearable were the continuous Scream, wails, and dying groans of Suffering.
Every corner of this place presented a horrific Screen Feed.
Some, as Bud had mentioned earlier, had even lost their Vitality, staring blankly with lifeless Eyes at the Branches and Leaves above and the Sunlight filtering through the gaps.
Yin's Expression turned pale with fright at the Situation here.
As someone who wielded a healing-type Imperial Arms, she had definitely received training in Medicine and had seen her fair share of dead people.
However, the Aura of Despair in this place was simply too thick, and she was still somewhat affected by the Impact on her Spirit.
"I'm counting on you."
At this moment, General Bols said with a calm Expression.
"Okay, luckily there are many Plants here, which saves a lot of trouble."
Yin took a Deep Breathing, then exchanged a Gaze with Natala, which helped her Mindset recover. At the same time, she activated the Imperial Arms in her hand, 'Asclepius'.
[Buzz----]
In an instant, a greenish-blue Radiance bloomed from the Serpent Staff, attracting the surprised Gaze of many Injured nearby.
"Great God of Medicine, please soothe these poor Injured, let their Suffering be relieved and healed..."
Yin was seen slightly closing her Eyes, softly murmuring words similar to a Prayer.
At the same time.
Centered on the Ground beneath her feet, a large amount of crystal-clear Herbaceous Plant quickly grew, flowing with a faint Green Light. Even the surrounding Trees trembled without Wind, scattering Tree Leaves emitting Green Light.
The subsequent changes were even more magical.
With the appearance of the Lawn, the surface of the Injured's skin was also tinged with a shallow Green Light, causing them to instinctively let out comfortable moans, as if their entire Body was soaking in a Hot Spring.
Some people with lighter Injuries could already see their Wound slowly healing, and their Expression was gradually becoming rosy.
As for those with more severe Injuries, they were wrapped by the Trees with Tree Branch, then 'sent' into their Tree Trunk, their entire Body being 'swallowed' inside.
"General Bols, please have people collect those Tree Leaves and give them to the Injured who are further away from here. They can quickly replenish the Human Body's Life Force and help stabilize Injuries!"
Yin said softly to General Bols: "Be sure to pay Attention, these Tree Leaves have a Validity Period of six hours, so the Speed must be fast!"
"Okay!"
Bud responded in a deep voice, while inwardly praising greatly. As expected of a Strategic Class Imperial Arm, this Ability was truly extraordinary. One person was enough to save tens of thousands of Injured.
However, he also knew that Strategic Class Imperial Arm consumed a great deal of Stamina.
Using it on such a large scale, one could at most activate it once or twice a day, so he could Understand Yin's thoughts.
However.
Those with light Injuries could lie on the Lawn for a while and then be replaced by another batch.
