Chapter 649 638. Field Medic
The north wind howled among the mountains.
A blaze erupted near the firearms workshop in the woodland on the shore of Crescent Lake, as if illuminating the entire lakeshore.
A handful of arrows shot out from the dense forest, and the knights walking in front fell to the ground one after another. Several horses screamed, and the knights behind quickly raised the light shield in their hands, and the sharp steel arrows fell on the shield. On the shield, it easily pierced through the metal skin on the shield, and was deeply inserted into the oak board.
There were muffled hums from time to time in the darkness. Suldak was at the back of the line, and the rain of arrows could not cover it for the time being, but he still took out the dwarf chain shield. As for the armor of the shield, he is now only wearing a set of ordinary leather armor. Facing such fine steel arrow clusters, the protection that the leather armor can provide is really very limited.
The knights of the guard battalion in front raised their shields and got off their horses one after another. Several squadron leaders wearing magic pattern outfits led their knights, holding shields and swords, abandoned their horses and charged into the dark dense forest. Immediately afterwards, the sound of fighting came from the forest. Unexpectedly, the archers lurking in the forest dared to confront the knights of the guard battalion head-on. Captain Jude's face became very serious. He ignored the fighting in the forest and only asked his knights to move the horses and wounded who had fallen on the road ahead to the road. On the other side, the rest of the guard battalion knights continued to rush to the firearms workshop by the lake.
At this time, Suldak caught up from behind.
When Captain Jude saw Suldak, he pondered for a moment, and said to Suldak in a pleading tone: "Baron Suldak, I have a request, can you treat the wounded in these guard battalions? "
The battle in the forest was still going on. Suldak jumped off his horse, handed the horse to the knights beside him, and said to Captain Jude, "Uh, please rest assured, I will try my best to save every knight."
A group of knights passed by, Knight Jude bent slightly, leaned over and whispered to Suldak: "I have sent a reinforcement signal to the city, and reinforcements and logistics groups will arrive soon , since they were able to set up an ambush here, I think the situation at the Firearms Workshop is more serious than we expected, and I must rush to support immediately."
Suldak gave a knightly salute to Captain Jude, who was already at the end of the knight team and rushed towards the firearms workshop.
In the distance, another fire appeared in the direction of the firearms workshop on the shore of Crescent Lake.
The battle in the dense forest here is still going on. Suldak hurriedly walked to a wounded knight and asked him to lie down to check his injuries. The angle of the shot was a bit tricky, and it may have hurt the knight's left lung. When he breathed, there was blood foam in his mouth, and his expression was very painful.
Suldak pulled out a skinning knife, and with the power of the holy light in his palm, he directly cut off the steel arrow on the iron and wood pole against the breastplate, and then quickly peeled off the heavy full-covered breastplate on his body. The linen shirt inside is exposed. This kind of shirt is specially designed for heavy armor. There are cotton pads on the shoulders and ribs, which can prevent the knight's shoulders and ribs from being damaged by wearing the heavy armor for too long.
At this moment, the injured knight's face was purple due to his breathing being blocked.
Suldak patted his cheek with his hand, leaned close to him and said, "I am Suldak, Captain of the Knight Squadron of the Guard Battalion in Hailansa City, and I am treating you now. During the treatment, you must not fall asleep, and you can hear clearly." What did I say?"
The injured knight barely opened his eyes, and nodded slightly.
"Fine, hold on, it might hurt a little."
After finishing speaking, regardless of how cold the night was at this time, Suldak unfolded a scroll of focusing fire and nailed it to the side. A ball of flames rose up, and there was some light here. He drove the wounded knight's wounded The blood-stained shirt found the wound with only a little arrow shaft left, and cut the wound horizontally with a skinning knife, and more blood gushed out immediately.
Suldak's knife cut close to the arrow cluster, and the cut was very deep. The blade of the skinning knife touched the fine steel arrow cluster, and there was a sense of stagnation.
Following the cut, Suldak pulled the arrow out with a skinning knife, blood gushed out, and a force of holy light landed on the wound, and then Suldak quickly covered the wound with a hemostatic bandage. He wrapped the cotton shirt around the knight again, took out a blanket necessary for marching from the backpack at the rear of the horse, wrapped it around the knight, and said to him: "Don't move around for now, it's waiting for the logistics." Rescue from the regiment..."
The injured knight nodded weakly, with blood and sweat on his face, looking very embarrassed, but his eyes were full of gratitude.
It was very cold at night, and the cold wind blew onto Suldak's blood-stained hands, which quickly froze Suldak's fingers. Fortunately, there was a scroll of focusing fire next to him, and he felt that his fingers were not in control. He stretched out his hand to the side of the fire to roast, and he concentrated on treating these injured knights.
Not long after, the battle in the dense forest was over. The knights withdrew from the dense forest and brought back more than ten wounded knights.
Except for one knight who was directly shot through the eye by a steel arrow, seventeen wounded including seven seriously injured knights were properly treated by Suldak. Dak's most intuitive feeling is that the effect of Holy Light has been significantly increased.
And he can also use those simple runes freely. For example, when he felt a little tired, he drew the number five rune 'Eth' in front of himself, and instantly felt an extra spiritual spring pouring into his body, feeling The stars in the sea of spiritual consciousness seem to be connected together, converging into a vortex that rotates continuously, and the spiritual spring is gurgling.
Suldak's feet became numb from squatting. He wanted to stand up and move around. In such a cold day, it is really hard work to treat the wounded in the wild.
When he raised his head, he saw several auxiliary soldiers from the Constantinople logistics regiment waiting quietly. Seeing Suldak stand up from the ground, he thought he had dealt with the injured knight, and hurried over. Wanted to lift the knight onto a stretcher.
"Wait, there is still one last step left, his wound hasn't been bandaged yet." Suldak reminded.
The two auxiliary soldiers stopped quickly, took out a bandage from their arms, and carefully bandaged the last wounded man on the ground.
"Oh, who are you?" An auxiliary soldier of the logistics regiment approached Suldak and asked.
A wounded knight standing next to him introduced to the auxiliary soldier: "He is Baron Suldak, from the city of Hailansa, and he is here to help us."
He was shot through the arm and belonged to the number of minor injuries among these injured knights.
"You are Baron Suldak?" The auxiliary soldier looked at Suldak in surprise.
Judging from the tone of this auxiliary soldier, it seemed that he had heard his own name.
"It's me." Surdak nodded, and then asked: "How is the situation at the firearms workshop?"
The auxiliary soldier of the logistics regiment standing aside quickly said: "In addition to Captain Jude, there are also two guard battalion groups arriving there, but there are also a lot of casualties there, if you have spare energy, Please go over there and treat those injured knights, I don’t know if my request is too much..."
Suldak rubbed his sore shoulders, and only said: "Do my best!"
'Looks like I'm busy tonight...' Suldak thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, the auxiliary soldiers standing aside saluted Suldak neatly, and said: "Baron Suldak, thank you for everything you have done to Constantinople."
Although he was physically exhausted, Suldak still felt warm in his heart after receiving so many thanks. He suddenly felt that this cold night was not so cold anymore.
…
When Suldak rushed to the gate of the firearms workshop, the battle there was not over yet.
However, the firearms workshop has been taken back from the robbers by the guard battalion knights in Constantinople, at least the gate has been occupied by a group of guard battalion knights.
The gate of the firearms workshop was smashed to pieces, and the guards of the workshop fell in disorder in a pool of blood at the gate, among which were the corpses of some robbers. These robbers were actually very strong, and their weapons The equipment is very good, it looks a bit like a standard armor, each of them has a quiver hanging from their waist, and they all seem to be proficient in archery.
The knights who died in battle at Constantinople were wrapped in sackcloth and lined up neatly at the gate.
War is what it is, someone always dies.
Suldak jumped off his horse and rushed to the group of wounded knights first. The auxiliary soldiers of the logistics regiment following Suldak also rushed over to meet the logistics regiment at the Firearms Workshop, and some relief supplies were also delivered. They were transported here one after another. There was a log cabin at the gate of the firearms workshop, but that room was very small, and some seriously wounded were carried into the log cabin.
The auxiliary soldiers even set up a temporary tent at the entrance of the firearms workshop to prevent the injured knights from dying due to hypothermia.
"Baron Suldak is here, hurry up and let him check the wounded number..." the auxiliary soldier following Suldak shouted at the busy people inside the cabin.
Although not everyone knew the name, the auxiliary soldier seemed to have a lot of weight in his words. He just said something behind him, and the auxiliary soldiers in the wooden house looked up at him and quickly gave up their positions.
Suldak hurried up, unceremoniously took the best position, and took over the job of the auxiliary soldier.
Treating and rescuing the wounded, a quick step may save a life that is about to pass away.
"I need your help!" Suldak squatted beside the wounded, and he also found that the auxiliary soldier following him should be an officer. At least the auxiliary soldiers of the logistics regiment listened to him, so he kept his hands on the side. Stop busy, while talking to him.
It seems that it is not so cold in the wooden house, and the hands will not always be frozen when handling the wound.
The auxiliary soldier behind him hurried up and asked, "What can we do for you?"
Suldak said without raising his head: "Find out where they were injured, take off their armor, do some preliminary hemostasis on the injured part, and make sure that I know their specific injuries when I get to them, so that I can Speed up my treatment, if possible, avoid secondary injuries as much as possible, and also need to be numbered!"
The auxiliary soldier asked repeatedly in puzzlement: "The platoon number?"
"That's right, try to put the seriously injured at the front as much as possible to ensure that everyone can receive effective treatment."
Surdak explained.
