At the same time, in a small village in southwest France.
Just after the battle, the bodies of a large number of bandits were found near the village house that had been blown away by the bombing.
When Elaine rushed into the house, the group of knights were bandaging each other's wounds.
One of the six knights has died in the line of duty, and his companions are covering his head with a white cloth;
Another knight who was seriously injured was stabbed in the lower right side of his abdomen, and there was also a terrible big gash on his left shoulder. These wounds were bleeding and could not be stopped for the time being. His companions were trying to hold down
His wound helped him stop the bleeding, and the knight himself fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. The situation was very urgent. In normal times, Elaine might be able to find a way to help the knight with some emergency treatment, but there is no surgery now.
There was also insufficient lighting, so it was probably impossible to save anyone even if he wanted to.
Although the remaining knights were injured, they were only minor injuries that were not fatal and they could take care of them themselves.
"Bailey!" Elaine left the group of dark blue rose knights and rushed upstairs. Before she went upstairs, she heard the little fox's rapid wheezing and coughing. Bailey's asthma attack was quite serious. After a series of violent coughs,
It was just wheezing, which I almost never heard.
Queeg was wrapping Bailey in a towel, rubbing the little fox's body back and forth, trying to keep him warm. However, this alone was a drop in the bucket.
"Where's your asthma medicine?" Elaine asked Bailey.
"Cough cough cough cough... No, no... cough cough cough..." the blue fox boy replied intermittently: "It's impossible... there is... cough cough cough... from the beginning... cough cough cough...
…I didn’t take it on board…”
"Why..." Elaine originally wanted to ask why, but he thought of the answer before he could say it.
That's right, it's impossible. When Bailey boarded the "Flying Frenchman" before, he went to die. If the prince's scapegoat was attacked by an assassin and died on the ship, for some people, it would be
Just right. If the assassin failed to kill Bailey and Bailey himself died of asthma on the ship, it would also be just right for some people.
They sent Bailey to die without even letting him take any medicine, and let a child die in pain. How cruel can those people in France be?
Elaine, who originally wanted to get angry, found that he couldn't find the target for his anger, so he could only stamp his feet angrily and choked back the curse words he wanted to say. It was useless to get angry now, and finding a way to suppress Bailey's asthma was the top priority.
.
The little fox's face turned pale, and he would probably start to become cyanotic if his asthma continued. Judging from Bailey's condition, if his asthma is not relieved, his life may be in danger. The vitality of orcs is stronger than that of humans, and Bailey may die from
He survived this attack, but he will definitely suffer serious sequelae.
Go to the village for help? No... It's already night. There was such a fierce fight in the village just now. The villagers have been scared to death. Now they must have locked the doors and windows tightly, and they don't dare to open the door at all. Even if they open the door
So what, can we really find asthma medicine that can be used by Bailey in this remote country? What's more, Elaine and the others are still orcs, and it is unknown whether humans are willing to help the orcs.
So... we have to take Bailey on the road and rush to the nearest city, La Buelle, overnight. But this seems very unrealistic. Elaine and the others currently have no means of transportation, so they have to carry Bailey on their backs for a long distance at night.
The difficulty level is very high, not to mention the possibility of being attacked by monsters and thieves. Even if you get to Rabuel, it is unknown whether you will be allowed to enter the city immediately. It is also unknown whether you will be able to find a hospital immediately after entering the city. Risks
However, taking Bailey on a long journey increased the probability of the little fox dying of illness...
Asking those knights to borrow an armored vehicle... seems unrealistic. Even if they are willing to lend an armored vehicle, the moving speed of that thing is too slow, not much different from walking on foot. An armored vehicle is so ostentatious that it may even be attacked by bandits.
Another siege...
Elaine looked sadly at Bailey, who was gasping for breath. The child's image began to overlap with Leo's.
Is it like this again? History will repeat itself again and again? Whenever Elaine wants to save someone, no matter how hard he works to save, the person he wants to save will inevitably disappear in the end. No matter how hard he tries, it is useless.
, life is like water in his hand, always slipping away between his fingers. In the end, nothing can be accomplished, and no one can save him.
He was in so much pain that he almost bit his lip, but he could only pretend to be strong in front of Bailey and not let others see his weakness. If he also collapsed, Bailey would be even more hopeless.
No.
This time, we must——
Just when Elaine was puzzled and frowning, he suddenly figured out something.
"Here, wait for me here, I'll be back soon." He said, then quietly walked downstairs to find the group of dark blue rose knights.
"How is the child doing?" Because Bailey's strong coughing and wheezing could be heard from downstairs, Sir Gordon asked with concern when Elaine came downstairs.
"Wheezing, asthma attack, very serious." Elaine said, and cast her eyes on the body of a bandit on the ground, looking at the body carefully.
"I guess you are worried because you don't have medicine?" Gordon asked tentatively. This guy is very keen, and I am afraid he already knows Elaine's intention.
"When I rescued him from the slave market, I didn't expect that he would have asthma." Elaine made up an excuse: "I, we didn't bring this medicine either... It's really, really bad..."
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Sir Gordon then asked: "Because of your efforts, my team was saved. Count me in for saving the child."
"But you, you can't just bring asthma medicine." Elaine said: "Other than that, do you have any clues?"
"The corpse at your feet is a clue." The other party walked out of the house: "Let's take a step to talk, Mr. Leo."
Elaine followed and walked out.
They walked near the armored vehicle. While calming the restless dragon beast, Sir Gordon lowered his voice and said to Elaine: "I will tell you now. The group of enemies we are dealing with tonight are not
Bandits. They are...the Burgundian army disguised as bandits."
Elaine didn't answer.
"...You don't seem surprised?"
"Although, although their skills are not high, they are well-trained and cooperate well. No, they are not like a group of bandits who just burn, kill and loot." Elaine replied: "I, I knew they must be soldiers...or
At least, a deserter."
The result was not much different from Elaine's guess. Although the bandits were not rebels against the Kingdom of France, they were invading forces from Burgundy. The Kingdom of Burgundy had clearly had the upper hand in the war with the Kingdom of France. The main force
It was almost completely destroyed. But everything changed in the battle two years ago, after the death of King Clodomaire of Orleans.
After the death of Clodomaire, France's invasion of Burgundy weakened. King Hildebert of Paris and King Clothier of Soissons were even more unintentional to attack Burgundy, and instead went to carve up the territory and territory of the Kingdom of Orleans.
Property. The persecution and assassination of three princes of the Kingdom of Orleans also started at this point in time - and Bailey was the scapegoat of the young prince Cloval.
The slowdown of France's invasion of Burgundy, coupled with the recent unrest in France, naturally led to a decline in border defenses. As a result, the group of Burgundians invaded - and actually attacked within the borders of France.
Here comes such a deep place!
"Of course, they are just death squads. Their purpose has not been clearly understood yet, but I estimate that the Burgundians have already grasped the location of King Clotier, and their death squad is here to assassinate Clotier." Ge
Sir Den said.
"But, but why did the knights of the Kingdom of Metz come to prevent the Burgundians from assassinating King Soissons..."
"I don't know... the thoughts of the big shots above are not something that a knight of my rank should guess." Dark Blue Rose Knight Gordon replied: "In short, I just need to follow the order and repel the Burgundian death squads...
"
"What does this have to do with me?" Elaine asked directly without understanding the other party's intention.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Leo. Those Burgundians are all lunatics. They use some kind of stimulants to put themselves into a state of battle rage to balance the strength gap between us. But that is a
A nerve stimulant that can cause shortness of breath and hyperactive organs. Burgundians who take stimulants for a long time will have asthma-like symptoms——"
"...My, my God!" Elaine was shocked: "You mean, it's very, very possible that there are medicines for treating asthma hidden in their base?"
"It's possible." Gordon took out a device similar to a respirator from his arms, "It was just found on the body of one of the Burgundians. Unfortunately, the medicine inside was used up, and only this one was found.
.I just hope they really have more of this kind of medicine in their base."
None of this is certain, it's like a hairspring hanging in the air. However, this may be the only hope at the moment. Even if it's just a hairspring that doesn't know when it will break, Elaine wants to reach out and grab it.
This last hope.
"Ming, I understand." The white lion boy replied: "You, you are going to attack their base, right. Count me in and go right away."
"Are you sure you want to do this, Mr. Leoport?" The other party asked back: "I know that child is your tribe, and you are very determined to save your tribe. But he is just a slave. Do you really
Do you want to risk your life for a little slave that you just bought back? You don’t even know if you can really save him."
"No need to say more. Let me know when you're ready," Elaine said.
"Huh." Sir Gordon suddenly laughed.
"...Yes, is there anything funny?"
"No. I'm not making fun of you." The squadron leader of the Dark Blue Rose Knight replied: "You are indeed just like the rumors. The real Mr. Leoport will do his best to help those who have never met but are in need of help.
.It is precisely because of this benevolence that you have a unique personality charm. It is precisely because you are like this that you are respected as the Gambling King of Cairo. Although your appearance and way of speaking have changed a lot, you really are.
The Mr. Leopold I know."
Elaine didn't reply. So what experience did Gordon have with Leo? To the extent that he mistook Elaine for Leo Porter, does Gordon really have the nerve to say that he knows Leo very well?
.
"The armored car is a burden, just leave it behind." Sir Gordon patted the dragon beast's neck lightly, "I have discussed with my companions and we will set off as soon as we are ready. Please be ready too, in five minutes
Start taking action."
"Yeah." Elaine nodded lightly and hurried back to prepare.
