Chapter 208

Max ed to open her eyes It was difficult to see as happening with the dust surrounding the She could hear screa of horses, and the sickening sound of ripping flesh She stayed as close to the people around her as possible and shuddered in fear A group of horses passed thelow of the knights’ silver-gray ared the trolls like a storainst the dozens of trolls

Max looked around nervously Too , it all felt like a living nighthts threw chains of hooks everywhere and wrapped them around the ht back, roaring in anger Their huge liround rumbled and almost split the earth in two

Max was terribly daunted by the fierce battle ensuing right in front of her The knights mercilessly i their heads off when their struggle went down a notch These counterattacks were repeated several times, until the battle eventually came to an end The trolls ere still on their two feet dwindled down to half of the initial number and even those stuhts Eventually, they drove the anized tactic

“It appears that it will all soon be over”

As the thick dust settled, Archduke Aren beckoned to the high-ranking priest Then, the barrier surrounding them disappeared, as it h it was announced that the battle was over, her stiff limbs couldn’t move an inch

“It’s all over now Hurry up and aid the wounded”

A knight urged them It was only then that they carefully went to the blood-covered battlefield and Max glanced terrified at the troll’s dead body sluround The soldiers rereen skin like a swamp toad, muscular, heavyset body and a face of a e, hawked nose, yellow teeth with fangs protruding out of itslike the face of an old saggy rossed gaze that she later realized that the head she was observing was already decapitated fro her eyes away Her stomach turned and her eyes became unfocused

“Hurry and carry the wounded to one place! Those who are seriously injured should be brought to a high-ranking priest, while those who can still athered in one place to receive initial aid”

One of the knights instructed firan to e away and ran toward the fallen ht where they were, but she averted her eyes fro those still breathing and conscious

It couldn’t be said that they had been fortunate, since many people had perished, but two-thirds of theAfter carefully checking the extent of their injuries, Max casted healingif people would find it strange that a priestess was capable of conjuring hts rushed to remove the arh priests were occupied with tending to the wounded

Making sure no one was looking in her direction, Max stealthily appliedseven people in a row, herhowhealing ic exhaustion Instead, she concentrated onthe wounded to an area, as the other priestesses were already doing Those in critical condition were brought before the high priest to be treated with divine ic, while soldiers with minor injuries, such as fractures or heavy bruises, were led into the hastily erected tents The wounded were placed neatly on the blankets, and a knight as supervising yelled in a stern tone

“At the ic for everyone There’s one et to Servyn Once everyone has received first aid, ill take a short break and begin to move ier”

The wounded soldiers nodded wordlessly as the priestesses stripped off their aran to clean their torn flesh, and Max also helped remove their ar the soldiers squiruilt creep inside her: if she only had more mana, all those wounds would heal in no time, but she couldn’t afford to try too hard If she pushed herself and collapsed just like the last ti but trouble

Max applied the cast to the wound and wrapped it in bandages e that she had to stitch theht her Many soldiers paled at the thought of their skin being stitched together with thread and needle, butthean to stitch up their wounds one by one

“There are iveand bandaging the wound, a soldier yelled in the distance She got up quickly and walked over Thenear a large rock caught her eye and she froze in shock

“What are you doing?! Hurry up and help uy!”

She had no choice but to follow the soldier, finding two unconsciousnext to the led to lift him up, as the soldier who called for help picked up the other one and the two returned to the tent with the unconscious soldiers in tow Suddenly, a strange thu a foreboding chill down her spine

Slowly, she turned and saw huge red, burning eyes staring at her Her legs shook and she froze on the spot Her first thought was to run away, but she couldn’t move, it was as if she had turned to a stone statue The troll, whose head was barely attached to his neck, grabbed his half-severed head and held it back into its rightful place As soon as the flesh healed and his head was once again properly attached to the rest of his body, he cae hook caught the troll’s neck and Max’s leg gave out The giant h, recoiled like a fish caught on a hook The troll swung its liht on top of the rock didn’t even budge As he violently yanked on the chains, its body scraped against the ground, sending dust everywhere It was truly a sight to behold that of a knight who ed to coil a monster three times his size At that point, he drew his sword and quickly lowered it on its rock-boulder sized head, which snapped in two like a pumpkin The scene was so unrealistic that Max couldn’t even feel nauseous

“Can’t you even properly confirht’s cold voice resounded like a whip The soldier next to Max was quickly shaken froies for his incoentleestured his chin towards the tent “Hurry and bring him in”

The soldier with the wounded man on his back obeyed is refused to ht who had saved her The knight had such ruthless expression that she could hardly believe that it was hi blow He leapt away froraceful cat and wiped the blood from his sword His hood flapped, and his tan hair shi+roaned internally when she realized who it was The knight who had just saved her life was Sir Leon Quahel, the Cohts

“What is it? Are you hurt?”

Max iht turned to her “I-I-I’m f-ffine”
