Chapter 693 The Wounded
"Hey!"
With a shift in their gaze, the two had arrived at the gate of their clan's territory. Seeing the approaching insect demon procession, Loda suddenly froze.
He saw that several very beautiful women suddenly appeared in the group. They had beautiful faces and gorgeous figures. Each of them was a top beauty, like flowers blooming in spring. Each of them was plump and beautiful.
Upon seeing the several beauties who had not appeared before, Loda froze in place, his expression constantly changing as they approached.
This scene caught the attention of Shivak, who immediately gave him a mocking look.
"What are you looking at? Are you in love?"
He nudged Loda with his elbow, then quietly pulled Loda to his side, and whispered in his ear:
"Don't say I didn't warn you, I advise you to calm down."
"Don't be fooled by their fairy-like appearances; it's said their true forms are giant spiders, each one more terrifying than the last. Brother! Spiders! Can you really bring yourself to hurt them?!"
"What do they say over there...right! A femme fatale! I don't know if that's the exact meaning, but just hearing that tells you not to get close!"
"I don't want to see you as nothing but a skeleton next time I see you!"
"So, give up those unrealistic dreams! Look at the girls here, aren't they all incredibly beautiful! If you're too shy to ask, I can help you. Just introduce one to me afterward..."
After glancing at the elven-faced guy next to him making a lewd expression that was completely incongruous with his elven appearance, Loda's face immediately stiffened, and he threw him aside.
"How could you do this! Do you want to eat alone?"
"Wait! Aren't we brothers?"
"Brothers should help each other..."
He kept hearing Shivak's voice from the side, but Loda ignored it all; he wasn't thinking about what Shivak was talking about.
The reason he stared blankly at those spider beauties was because they gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them in some special place before.
But... where exactly is it?
The thought of this made Loda feel dizzy and her head throbbed with pain, just like when she first woke up in the morning.
Just then, the group of people exchanging ideas came over. The beauties noticed the two people standing at the door. After glancing at them with their charming eyes, they went into the village first.
There was no communication between the two sides.
This left Loda somewhat stunned, but it also made him even more certain that the feeling of familiarity he had just experienced was probably just his imagination. But his head ached...
After a while, when he realized that they had gone further and further away, Loda suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly prepared to follow them.
Oh no! I suddenly froze. Wait a minute! Why didn't Shivak call me?
Having taken only half a step, Loda suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly turned around to look.
Ugh! Ugh~ Ugh! Ugh~ Ugh! Ugh~
A series of muffled thuds came from the ground. Loda had fallen to the ground at some point, his whole body wrapped in white silk threads, his mouth sealed shut, like a large cocoon. Only his desperate eyes were visible.
When he noticed Loda turning around, Shivak's despairing expression finally softened...
You bastard who forgets his friends for a pretty face has finally turned back!!!
................
The monster riots in Titina Forest are escalating, with large numbers of monsters gathering together. It can now be described as a catastrophe!
The monster scourge swept through the entire forest and began to spread outwards, launching no fewer than ten attacks in just a few days.
After the surrounding countries realized this, in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, they began to establish a front line and send troops to be stationed at the edge of the forest, in order to prevent those monsters from expanding the battle line!
That's right! The battlefront!
What was initially thought to be merely unusual monster agitation has now escalated into a war.
A war between monsters and humans!
It was clear that the countries did not want to see the monsters become so powerful, so they intervened, and in a short time, the expanding monster populations were contained.
Of course, it's just about containment...
"Ah!! Ah!!!!"
"My legs!!! I can't feel them anymore! I can't feel them!!!"
"Your Excellency, please save my companion! I beg you! I'll give you anything!"
"How could this happen... How could this happen...?"
As the situation escalated, Green Tree City, which already had a very special geographical location, underwent a major transformation, with soldiers, mercenaries, adventurers, and speculators appearing everywhere!
The city has never had such a large population before. The large number of people gathered together has made the city even more diverse and mixed.
Now, the most prominent building in the city is a church that was erected not long ago, which you could also call a field hospital.
As conflicts between monsters and humans intensify, many wounded soldiers are being brought back from the front lines. Soldiers, adventurers, mercenaries—regardless of their status—all need a place to rest.
The wounded are treated and sent back to the front lines; those unable to fight are spared and sent to the rear; those poisoned are given detoxification; those with limbs amputated are given amputations; even after death, others can perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.
The church was like a production line at work, but because of that, they were simply too busy to keep up.
The first priority should be to treat the wounded VIPs; as the pillars of the front lines, they cannot be allowed to fall easily.
Secondly, there are the soldiers; as the main fighting force, their medical treatment must not be neglected.
As for the mercenaries and adventurers, to be honest, if they had the time, they could help you out, but given the current situation, emm... just get out of there and don't let them call the guards.
Even so, the church was still surrounded by people, who gathered outside without anyone to help them, hoping that passing priests would take a look at them.
Of course, these are usually people who are seriously injured and cannot be sent to the rear in time, so they will die on their own after a short while. But it is precisely because of this that things are even more chaotic here.
With nowhere else to turn, people began to look for other ways out. Due to a series of recent events, many hospitals have sprung up in the city, most of which are extremely expensive and can empty your savings. Moreover, their treatment is not as good as that of the priests and clergy in the church.
It was truly brutal! But now, everyone had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Thinking of this, those who had nowhere else to go also began to focus their attention on those small clinics.
I wish for an affordable and effective medical clinic...
