Chapter Forty-Eight: Reinforcements and Police Came Out Only When the Matter Was Resolved
After Primra left with the group, Job One, an elderly medic with a dozen soldiers, entered the dining room from the other direction. So, with the efforts of several military doctors, the place to eat was temporarily converted into a hospital.
Originally, the castle had a special medical room, but when the enemy launched a surprise attack, the medical room was destroyed, and the tools and medicines inside were lost. Fortunately, the castle's warehouse was fine, and the military doctors finally got enough medical supplies from it.
"How is she?" Lu Xi asked, pointing to the unconscious Eloville.
"In general, the body is very weak and even dehydrated, and it is necessary to replenish nutrients and salt water immediately, otherwise it may cause many complications. In addition, there are signs of being frightened by YanzhΓ²ng, but she is very strong and has survived by her own will, so her breathing and expression will appear steady. It's just that I'm too tired to sleep for a long time. β
"It shouldn't be life-threatening, right?" Carol asked eagerly.
Of course not, as long as there is enough dormancy and enough nutrition, she can be cured within a month. In fact, if there were elves' life magic and the Templar's light magic masters, she would be able to fully recover in half a day, and now, she could only use these conventional medical methods. β
Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and Carol was even more relieved, her whole spirit relaxed, and she almost collapsed on the ground. Lu Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.
"Doctor, Vill will leave it to you."
"Don't worry." The old medic nodded, and he led a few soldiers to carry Eloville to a bed.
The so-called bed was actually just a table covered with a layer of cotton wool and sheets, and he took out a set of drips and added a bottle of potion mixed with saline and nutrients to Eloville. After doing all this work, the medic walked back and said to Carol, "Show me your hand." β
At this time, the ice cube condensed on Carol's right arm had gradually melted, leaving only a small amount of frost, and the skin exposed to the sleeve actually looked a little black.
The old medic carefully lifted Carol's arm and pressed it gently.
"What does it feel?"
"I don't feel anything...... Like, as if this arm is not your own......"
"Well, I've heard that the lich uses the magic of death to create frost that can not only freeze the flesh, but also destroy the body's vitality. Your arm, both muscle and bone, already has a tendency to die...... If you really want to count it, you're hurt much worse than that Drow girl. β
"What then?" Carol was in a hurry. I don't really have to have an amputation.
"To treat it requires the re-purchase of materials and expensive medicines, which I don't have here. However, if you leave it alone, sooner or later, the toxins of the dead qi will invade your internal organs along your arms, and at that time, it will be really incurable......
"Is it true that you really need a golden prosthetic?" As if she hadn't heard the doctor's words, Carol stared straight ahead with a blank gaze and opened her mouth blankly.
"Doctor, is there no other way?" Lu Xi asked anxiously.
"I don't have the conditions here, but if it's the general hospital of the legion headquarters, there should be no problem."
Ha? You can't finish your old saying all at once?
"Then we have to make a trip to the headquarters?"
"That's right, and as much as possible. Judging by the speed of the death attack, he must receive perfect treatment within ten days. Otherwise, when these residual dead qi completely corrodes the musculoskeletal body, there is really only one way to choose amputation. ββ¦,
It takes about four or five days to reach the Roshur Fortress from Job No. 1, Lu Xi thought about it slightly, and said, "Carol, when the major clears out the enemies here, let's leave immediately." β
Carol had already been amputated, and the prospect of fitting a jeweled prosthetic leg was very scorched, but she just nodded sheepishly.
"Anyway, I'll give you a brief deal first, and then you can hit the road as soon as possible." The old military doctor said.
He took out a bottle of ointment, applied medicine to Carol's entire arm, and then fixed the arm with a bandage: "His arm is in a very fragile stage, and it may be completely destroyed by some small impacts, so be careful." β
Lu Xi nodded. After the bandage, the old military doctor went to treat the other wounded. Lu Xi looked at Carol, who was still in a stupid state, and couldn't help but slap him on the head.
"How long do you have to worry about it, didn't you say that the hospital at the headquarters has a way?"
Carol smiled and touched her head, "I was just thinking: if you have a prosthetic leg, it is really tacky to use gold and diamonds; It should be some Mithril or Adamantite or something, and in addition, it can also be equipped with a folding knife, the kind that can be bounced out. Well, it's better to load another arm crossbow and find a chance to kill those guys......"
"Carol."
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Your taste is even more vulgar than I thought."
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"I don't know what happened to Sehiru and Lim."
"Who knows...... Wait, why change the subject? β
"Vill is fine anyway, let's go check it out."
"Well, it's okay, it's boring to just stay like that...... Wait, don't take me for an idiot. β
Lu Xi and Carol staggered out of the makeshift hospital and followed in the direction the major had left. Along the way, many of the corpses of the Black Flag Wingers were killed, as well as skeletons and zombies that were smashed to pieces. The shouts of killing in the castle have become less and less, and soldiers in federal armor are cleaning the battlefield in groups. It seems that although Job 1 has been attacked by surprise, the situation has clearly shifted in its favor.
The two of them walked through the hallway, past the stables.
"We've taken it back, too. Are there any problems with the flying beasts inside? Lu Xi said to the soldiers guarding in front of the stable.
"Report to the sir, except for the death of the five-headed horned eagle, the two horned eagles and a bat-beast that were seriously injured, the rest are fine, and they can carry out the flight mission." The soldier looked at Lu Xi's magician dress, and quickly stood up and saluted.
"Oh, that's good." Lu Xi nodded and said to Carol, "Hurry up, not late." We'll find the Major and say hello to everyone, then we'll go pack some dry food and water, and we'll be on our way. β
"That's right, the enemies here aren't a big deal anyway."
With this in mind, the two men walked out of the hallway, and soon came to the only open-air building on Job One, the school grounds. At the other end of the school field, the major and the soldiers were running quickly towards Lu Xi.
"Yo, why are you back again?"
"Run!" Sehireu shouted, "There's a more ruthless one over there!" β
"More ruthless?" The two men asked in unison. In an instant, a strong air current blew violently, almost knocking the two seriously wounded people down.
The moonlight in the sky lost its silver brilliance for a moment, as if it was shrouded in a huge shadow, and the owner of the shadow flapped his wings, which had long since lost his body, and slowly landed on the ground. The body that only had the skeleton left represented the most majestic and powerful supreme being, the top of the entire world's food chain, and the supreme and power of all beasts. β¦,
It was a giant dragon, not a subspecies like manta beasts and wyverns, but a real giant beast - a dragon!
In other words, it is a dragon after death, a powerful monster created by the evil necromancy that resurrected the decayed body - the bone dragon.
The dragon scales and strong muscles, which were more gorgeous and precious than precious stones, had long since decayed and disappeared with the torrent of time, and even the bones that were stronger than steel had gradually lost their vitality and spiritual power. The dragon's eye that once could make all beasts surrender with just one glare was gone, and in the dark hole, only the dark green phosphorus fire burned brightly.
(System prompt after probing: Comprehensive strength gold level 5)
The Bone Dragon is just a decaying corpse that has lost its dragon soul, unable to breathe dragon breath, let alone use the mysteries of dragon magic. But even if it is the corpse of the dragon, the combat power is also above that of the Crypt Lord, and it is definitely not something that Lu Xi and they can fight lightly.
Looking at the dragon fluttering with its bone wings, Lu Xi soon saw a small metal box hanging from its neck. The box was engraved with intricate patterns and charms, and from the faint cracks, Lu Xi could feel an evil aura, as well as the annoyance and anger that was clearly full of that aura.
Needless to say, that's the Lich Sandel's lifebox.
It's smart enough to know where to put the lifebox in the safest place.
"Well, first the Crypt Lord, then the Lich, then the Bone Dragon, and no one stops? And then what, Demon God? Carol screamed and jumped to her feet.
"I don't care if others can stand it or not. Fate is a wayward thing. Lu Xi finally suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, but he did not suppress the urge to complain.
"What are you doing, hurry up and run." Sai Xiliu had already rushed to Lu Xi's side and couldn't help but drag him.
"There's no way, seeing such a scene, I suddenly felt: Actually, it doesn't matter what......" Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, his expression was so light that he was about to shatter the void.
"Don't bother to care about you! Lim, watch out for your master! Sehireux said loudly. Primra walked up to Lu Xi and carried him on his back without saying a word.
"And you, what are you nervous about?" Sehiraeus yelled at Carol.
"Enough is enough, I've had enough! Bone Dragon Boy, hurry up and let Uncle shoot a brick, I still have to go to the Demon God for tea! Carol ignored Sehira's questioning, still jumping to her feet.
"You two, run away with him!" Sehireu casually pointed to two soldiers.
Two powerful soldiers, one lifted his leg and the other lifted his hand, and carried him as if he were carrying a stretcher.
"Lim, you put me down!"
ββ¦β¦ Can't put it! β
"A dignified man is being carried away by a girl, what is this?"
ββ¦β¦ Put it down and you won't run. β
"I promise you, just follow you."
"However, Lu Xi is injured and can't run."
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Well, whatever you want, I'm actually enjoying it anyway.
While feeling the girl's fragrance wafting from the back of Primla's neck, Lu Xi tilted his head, just in time to meet Major Lorens' gaze.
"Major, in fact, we, Job No. 1, should be hiding some super secret of the Federation. For example, the border defense map, the design plan of the new weapon, the spy list of the intelligence department, and so on. β
"Huh? Are you sick in the head? How could something important be placed in a small military station on the border? β
"So, in fact, there are some important people who are incognito here, such as Kazan's illegitimate son, or the prince of the winged people, and the stupid son of a high-ranking federal official who wants to gild at the last time?" β¦,
"How could there be? You've read too many novels, right? β
"Then why is it just such a small soldier, and it's a Black Flag Winged Man, a Lich, and a Bone Dragon? Are all these big people so idle that they come to find bad luck in such a small country like ours? β
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
"Oh, is that so?" Lu Xi looked at the other party's expression, but felt that this guy didn't seem to be lying. He was silent for a moment, then continued: "Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it is absolutely impossible for us to deal with that skull dragon with a group of wounded people, you tell me, what should we do?" β
"Now, I'm running and waiting for reinforcements."
"Reinforcements?"
"Even when we were being attacked, I informed the headquarters of the situation here through the rumor crystal in GuΓ²'s office. They promised to send reinforcements as much as they could. β
"It's at least four or five days' journey from the headquarters to here, and even the daylily will be cold when they come over."
"Maybe there's a patrol and a floating warship nearby. There's got to be a little hope, isn't it? β
"Hehe, you know what? Before,All the stories I've seen,Once a fierce situation happens.,But you definitely can't expect reinforcements, police, or anything.,Don't wait for the hero to solve the problem.,The police or something will never appear.γ β
"I don't understand what you're talking about." The Major shrugged his shoulders and said, "Stories are stories, aren't they all fiction?" β
"Huh? Aren't we fiction? β
"If you want to discuss some inexplicable philosophical issues like fantasy and reality with me, then forget it, I don't have time!"
"Don't look like this, we're just researching, we don't have to be so serious. Actually, I just want to make a friend before I die......"
"At a young age, what is the, it's too negative!"
"If the reinforcements are really like the police, then we are really dead."
"How many times have I told you, it's a story, it's fiction!"
"Then we'll ......"
"If you're still ready to say, 'Then we're not fiction?' , I'll fan it with a big ear! β
"Roar!" The bone dragon flapped its wings and let out a strange but high-pitched roar, and it lifted its claws, larger than the windmill, as if it were about to fan it with a large ear. However, at that moment, a thick bolt of lightning slid across the distant sky, streaked across the sky, changed into the shape of a thunderbird, flapped its brilliant wings of light, and crashed headlong into the bone dragon.
"Boom!" The shockwave formed by the huge thunderbird knocked the bone dragon away, causing it to completely lose its balance, and its body flew out with a "click" bone cracking sound, and fell heavily to the ground with a dull crashing sound.
Lu Xi raised his head in surprise, only to see that the night sky above his head had been covered by a huge floating battleship. On the side of the floating ship, there is a metal inscription and the military emblem symbol of the six-pointed star. It was the floating battleship Arras, which belonged to the Eastern Legion.
Reinforcements have finally arrived.
Lu Xi disturbed his head and sighed.
It seems that the reinforcements are a little faster than the police.
