wounded
A beast tide! Sorea was surprised and extremely uneasy. According to her previous calculations, the beast tide was at least half a month away from starting. How could it have happened so suddenly? She immediately sat up, put on her clothes, and pushed open the door to go out.
"You two stay home and wait for me to go check on things," Sorea said hastily to Verridern, and left without waiting for his reply.
Sorea followed the person who came and ran quickly toward the wounded, asking for details as she ran: "Explain clearly, why did the beast tide come ahead of schedule?"
From the knight, Sorea learned that no one knew why the beast tide had arrived early. It suddenly went berserk at night and charged towards the knights' camp, catching the knights on night watch off guard and resulting in heavy injuries.
After a brief conversation, Solaya arrived at the encampment. What had been neatly arranged tents that morning was now almost entirely deserted. Most of the knights were wounded, and those who weren't were covered in dust. Piles of monster corpses lay beside the encampment.
"Take me to the seriously injured patients quickly," Sorea urged anxiously upon seeing the scene before her.
When Soraya arrived at the largest of the intact tents, she saw a group of seriously wounded people lying in front of her. Most of the wounded had completely lost consciousness, while a small number of wounded people whose arms and legs had been torn off by the monster were still howling in pain.
Sorea felt a blood-red blur before her eyes. She took a deep breath to calm herself and instructed the two knights assisting her to first lay the unconscious wounded together.
"What are you doing!"
The knight, who was carrying the wounded soldier according to Soraya's instructions, was suddenly grabbed by the arm. Soraya, hearing the commotion, looked up at the person who had stopped her:
"Madam, putting them together helps me treat them."
The blonde woman in the green dress frowned: "Moving them like this will cause them secondary injuries. You should treat them one by one."
“Madam, my strength is insufficient to treat them all individually; some of their injuries cannot wait. Please move them to one place as soon as possible,” Sorea explained patiently, rubbing her temples.
"How could you possibly treat so many people at once? Are you lying to me? I've been a doctor for the Bounty Hunter Association for so many years, my expertise is definitely superior to that of a new doctor like you."
Seeing that the woman still wouldn't let go, Sorea pulled her hands away from the knights: "Madam, I don't care who you are, I know you're worried about them too, but they need treatment right now, and time is very precious! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
While Soraya was in a standoff, the two knights carefully and quickly moved the wounded man to the place Soraya had designated.
Just as the woman opposite her was about to speak, the bounty hunter who had been treated by Soraya at the auction saw what was happening and hurriedly rushed over, putting down what he was doing:
"Dr. Alice, this is the healing inscription mage invited by the association. Lady Jane, she can definitely handle the healing. You should go and see the other patients first."
Alice looked Solia up and down, her face full of dissatisfaction and suspicion. Solia hated that look; Alice's gaze made her feel uneasy all over.
After seeing that most of the wounded had been gathered together as she had instructed, Sorea didn't even glance at Alice and quickly went over to prepare to draw the inscription totems.
Seeing that Sorea didn't care about her at all, Alice's face immediately turned ugly. She shouted in a sharp voice, "I want to see how strong she really is."
Sorea was completely oblivious to Alice's provocation; she was focused on how to heal the wounded man in front of her as quickly as possible.
Alice, on the other hand, became even more resentful of Solaya's neglect. In Alice's eyes, everyone used to fawn over her, the only doctor. Since Solaya came, everything revolved around her, and she became dispensable.
Soraya was just one step away from completing the inscription totem. She waited until all the wounded were within the healing range of her inscription totem before finishing the final stroke of the magic circle.
A green light spread out from Soraya, covering all the wounded in the area with a layer of green light. The green light stimulated their vitality and healed their wounds. In less than ten breaths, some of the wounded coughed violently. Half a minute later, all the wounded who had been unconscious opened their eyes.
"I'm not dead? Teacher, you're alright too."
"I actually survived!"
...
Excited and joyful voices rang out among all the wounded covered in light. After Sorea scanned the people in front of her with her mental power and confirmed that their injuries were not fatal, she slowly withdrew her power.
Seeing this scene, the agonizing cries of pain from the wounded nearby, who had lost limbs and were in excruciating pain, gradually subsided, and hope rekindled in their eyes.
"Place the wounded soldiers with severed limbs in front of me." Treating the seriously wounded had already exhausted Sorea, but the wounded soldiers with severed limbs were missing the best time for treatment, which would hinder their recovery and could cause serious sequelae.
After witnessing Soraya's healing power, everyone present, whether wounded or from various factions who came to help, obeyed her every word and immediately acted according to her instructions. The injured with severed arms who could move couldn't wait to take their arms and walk up to Soraya.
Seeing the wounded gathered in front of her, Sorea told them: "Use bandages to align and fix the severed limbs in place. It will be very itchy during the healing process. If you think you can't stand it, ask someone next to you to hold you down."
As soon as Soraya finished speaking, before the wounded with severed limbs could even speak, their friends and relatives immediately pounced on them and held them down. Some wounded who didn't recognize anyone were also held down by the wounded who had just been healed by Soraya and the people helping them.
"I'm starting now, pay attention." After saying that, Sorea immediately began drawing the inscription totem array.
The same green light appeared just now and landed precisely on the wounded soldier with severed limbs. Unlike last time, the wounded soldier covered by the green light let out bursts of laughter, as their flesh and blood were merging together.
Seeing the wounded laughing uncontrollably, the person holding them down, fearing they would bite their tongues, quickly tore off pieces of cloth from their own clothes and stuffed them into their mouths. Not long after, the wounded, who had been laughing, began to struggle wildly on the ground. As their bones healed, they felt an itch that went deep into their bones. Fortunately, someone held them down, otherwise this healing effort would have been in vain.
As the number of people struggling on the ground decreased, Solaya also withdrew her power. After the green light returned to her and disappeared, Solaya, whose strength was almost exhausted, took a few steps back weakly. She was then supported from behind by Verridern, who had gone out to look for her after she had not returned for a long time.
When Solaya saw that it was Verridern, she breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed, leaning against him. Then she said to the wounded and staff, "Don't exert yourself on your newly reattached limbs. You can move around freely after three days of rest. There are still quite a few lightly injured people outside. Please help them take care of them so I can rest for a while."
Those present immediately nodded in understanding.
Alice, finally finding a place where she could be of service, immediately exclaimed, "Oh dear, Lady Jane, you're treating these seriously injured patients with severed limbs so quickly, can't you also treat these less seriously injured ones?"
“Yes, Dr. Alice is right. We’re in so much pain too. You can treat us quickly.” Alice’s words aggravated the pain of some of the lightly injured.
Verridern's face instantly turned cold: "Can't you see that she's exhausted from treating those people?"
“That’s the work she’s supposed to do. She’s paid by the association, so she should keep working. I’m in the hospital every day, exhausted. Why does she need to rest after working for a while? I think she just doesn’t want to treat other people.”
Sorea was so angry at Alice's words that she laughed. She never expected that there were such shameless people in the world. She had not offended her, yet Alice was targeting her directly.
"Hmph, people from small towns have no idea of the prestige of healing mages." A priest in white robes approached: "Lord Jane, I am Chris from the Harvest Church of the Living Empire. We've met before..."
Alice wasn't a good person, and Chris was even less so. Seeing Chris, Sorea interrupted him, saying, "Your Excellency, didn't you want to teach me a lesson before? Why are you being so respectful today?"
“Lord Jane, it was all my fault before. Your healing power is definitely the highest among all the healing mages I have ever seen. I would like to invite you to join the Harvest Church.” Chris bowed respectfully to Soria.
"Lord Chris, are you really going to poach people from our association like this?" After receiving news that Soraya was receiving treatment here, Olsen rushed over. Hearing Chris's words as soon as he arrived at the tent entrance, he immediately spoke up to stop him. The healing mage he had finally found could not be poached.
Chris wasn't afraid of Olsen: "I see any one of you here daring to teach a noble healing mage a lesson. She might as well go to our church. No one in our church would ever disrespect Lady Jane."
Orson already knew pretty much what had happened, but Alice had indeed done a good job for the association, so he could only look at Alice and say, "Lady Jane is a distinguished guest of our association. You should apologize to her immediately and then go and bandage the lightly injured."
Alice didn't want to bow down to Soraya, but seeing her guild leader's unfriendly expression, she still bowed and apologized to Soraya. No one saw the vicious look in her eyes after she bowed down.
