Chapter 210

The light on Max’s face grew cloudy Her spine grew cold as if she was subed in ice water when she heard that Riftan faced a thousand trolls in battle They were monsters ere heavier than bulls and had incredibly fast regenerating abilities, to the point that even with their head half-cut, they could heal in a blink of an eye when they were attached back to their neck

To think that he battled an ar monsters with only two hundred men… How could you be so damn reckless?

Max felt her heart shrivel, Selena’s words were far froroping on her stiff tongue “H-how about the others…”

“Don’t worry There wasn’t a single casualty ahts”

Max let out an audible sigh of relief and Selena continued in a more hesitant tone

“But… it appears that some of them were injured”

“Wh-who? How many… how serious are their injuries?”

“I don’t know the details I only heard that sohts were seriously wounded after the battle and that they had to stop their advance to recuperate and receive medical treatment”

Max clasped her blood-drained face with trehts flashed rapidly in her ic could quickly repair an injury on any part of the body, the their advance could onlyabout which ones of the Rehts were hurt, Idcilla suddenly approached them with an anxious expression

“Have you heard anything about Elba?”

Selena shook her head “Aside fro near the Ethylene Castle, there was nothing else that I could find out”

Idcilla’s head bowed in disappoint a hand on her shoulder “In a few days, each unit fro here to replenish their supplies When that happens, we can get more information, so don’t fret too much”

Idcilla perked up a little at the prospect Selena then left, she would often gather information and Max would always cover for her duties on the other tent Staring into space for a ht, then quickly cleared her head and concentrated on her tasks Her cheeks burned and her face was covered in sweat fro flames helped distract her from her terrible anxieties Max e the herbs in the cauldron After the medicine had cooled down, she fed it to the patients, cleaned their wounds, and replaced their bandages Once she was done, she went to help with the food preparation There wasn’t even time to catch her breath

Finally, when she finished her work for the day, Max sank onto the stack of hay in the narrow tent She couldn’t even lift a finger The surime on them, and the smell of blood, sweat, and horses filled her nostrils It was even difficult to breathe properly due to the stench and humidity, but Max was too exhausted to e, thinking about what the future would hold for her

Would this way of living continue until the war is over?

Her confidence and willpower to keep all of herself together cru around the dark tent Tears fell from Max’s eyes: she yearned for Riftan dearly and she missed Calypse Castle, but she was the one who decided to co feelings, she closed her eyes tightly

The next day was just as hectic Before the sun had even risen, she went out of the tent to wash her face in the nearby streaht to the makeshi+ft infirmary A total of three hundred woundedpriests capable of using divine healing ic were around Due to the scarcity, the priests only focused on treating those ere in critical condition The others had to recover naturally over time and were left to the care of the priestesses Once they had confirht, they went to the e tent to prepare ave theave them instructions

“Fromyesterday, most patients suffer from broken bones Since they could not move properly, you priestesses will have to help the You‘til evening and inform me immediately if anyone loses consciousness or develops a fever”

Max listened intently as the priest continued to speak hastily “Pay special attention to those patients whose wounds are still bleeding You ots, you should prepare a detox medicine and feed it to them three times a day Also, e their bandages at least once every three days Herbs and firewood are available here in the e tent, you can take as many as you need every day”

After the priest finished, he divided theroup roup oversaw forty patients Fortunately, Max and Idcilla were assigned to the saroup
