Chapter 200 Injured



Chapter 200: Injured

"Evil spirit! Evil spirit!"

The Persians were terrified. They were shaking and talking incoherently. The Burning Knight turned his horse around, but the Persians had already mounted their horses and fled.

Theodosius II was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stood there motionless. Then he saw the knight with fire all over his body slowly walking towards him.

"Help, help!"

Theodosius II's lips were trembling, his legs were shaking, and he could hardly stand. His burning body and mace covered in blood and flesh made him look like an evil spirit from hell.

"Could it be that it really appeared? Is it to punish me?"

Theodosius II wanted to run, but when he took a step, his shaking legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't run away. He fell to his knees with a thud, raised his head, and watched the knight getting closer and closer. "Is this a murderous demon from hell? Is he coming here just to punish me? But, what have I done wrong? Is he killing people?" Theodosius II was filled with unspeakable fear, but what else could he do? He couldn't escape, he couldn't escape! Theodosius II knelt on the spot, his throat was dry, his face was pale, and in the face of the fear of death, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered, without any resistance.

"Just die, that's fine too!"

Theodosius seemed to have let it go. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. That was the sound of death, the sound of hell, pulling him down to hell. Although he was Augustus of the Eastern Empire, he was still a mortal. If hell insisted on taking him, he would not be able to escape.

"Goodbye, Empire!" He curled up helplessly, and seemed ready to go!

“Boom!”

In the darkness, a heavy falling sound was heard, like a heavy object hitting the ground, mixed with the clinking of armor. The heavy object seemed to be rolling faintly, right in front of him. Theodosius was still wondering why the butcher knife of judgment was reluctant to fall, and at this time such a strange sound came again. After all, he could not bear his inner curiosity. He slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to find that the knight burning with blazing flames was gone, and the fully armored warhorse was empty, but the burnt smell still lingered in the air for a long time.

However, there was still a thin layer of smoke like clouds blocking his vision. Theodosius looked down and found the source of the smoke. It turned out to be a burnt man. The man was lying on the wasteland, covered with dust from rolling around. The smoke came out from the gaps in the dust, emitting a burnt smell.

"Hello, hello!"

After making sure that he was absolutely safe, Theodosius II mustered up the courage to step forward, picked up a wooden stick, and gently poked the burnt body that was lying face down on the ground, motionless.

Perhaps it was unconscious, the body did not move, which made Theodosius II feel relieved. He began to look the burnt body up and down and found that he could actually peel off the burnt black skin.

"Ah! The skin is burnt!" Theodosius II couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't have the courage to peel off the bloody meat under the skin, which would make him vomit.

"Caesar, Caesar!"

Andrew, who arrived late, crawled behind Theodosius. Of course, Andrew also saw the burnt black body in front of Theodosius.

"He, is he still alive?"

Andrew had never seen a guy with such serious burns. Of course, he was the worst off. Looking at the dark guy in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the humiliation he suffered in the area south of the Rhine. When he saw this man, he felt a dull pain in the scars on his back.

"Andrew, go and see if this guy is okay!" Seeing that the body was still moving slightly, Theodosius did not dare to go forward to check, so he had to give the order to Andrew to handle it.

"Oh, yes, yes, my Caesar." Andrew swallowed, as if he was mentally prepared, slowly approached, and then shook the guy lying on the ground motionless.

"Quick, take off my armor!"

As soon as he touched it, the guy lying face down on the ground spoke, which made Andrew stunned. He thought silently in his heart: "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

Since he asked for help, he naturally needed help. Although Andrew was impatient, he was always a warm-hearted person. He would always respond to requests from his comrades, and this time was no exception. Andrew hurried forward and sprinkled dirt on the man to lower the surface temperature.

The man looked very uncomfortable, and Andrew did not delay any more. He quickly pulled up the burnt outer skin, and with a "click" he discovered the silver chain mail inside. Only then did he realize that only the outer leather armor was burnt.

"You, who are you?"

Andrew seemed to sense something, so he asked the question hastily, and then hurriedly helped the man up. He lifted his face and wiped off the dust covering his face. "Luka!" Andrew screamed, and regardless of the scorched leather armor on the front half of Luka's body that was still smoking, he hugged Luka tightly.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”

Because the fire had burned his body, and the chain mail and leather armor, which were still hot, were pressed tightly against his fragile skin, Luca was about to cry. "Andrew, let go, I will really die."

Andrew let go, and Luca fell to the ground like a leaning and rigid pillar without a support. Luca felt like he was falling apart, his own weight plus the weight of the armor, his eyes sparkled, and he instantly felt like he had a new life.

"Oh my god, it's Luca, my god, my bodyguard!" Theodosius reacted slowly at this time, and hurried over to help Luca tear off the burnt leather armor covering him. Because of sufficient protection, Luca even wore a thick layer of underwear under the chain mail. Fortunately, the burning flames only burned the outer leather armor without hurting the body.

In a hurry, Andrew's hand accidentally touched Luca's neck. Unexpectedly, this small touch almost made Luca jump up! Luca struggled and cried out in pain. Andrew and Theodosius looked carefully and found that Luca's body was fine, but his neck was not so lucky. The flames passed through the gaps in the chain mail and caused great damage to the exposed skin on Luca's neck, causing a layer of skin to fall off around his neck. The red flesh was exposed and covered with dust. The red and yellow colors looked particularly hideous.

"Luka, bear with it for a while, I want to find a way to heal you!" Andrew took out the kettle and slowly took off the helmet and chain mail on Luka's head, trying not to touch the wound on Luka's neck. Then he gently washed the wound on Luka's neck with water. He had to be very careful and not allow any mistakes.
