[My head hurts! Why now?! Why?! No, I can't pass out now. I'd die if I did.]
A sudden throbbing passed through his heart, he screamed in pain as his body trembled through the pain of some unknown reason. Oro approached him with caution.
"Let me end your suffering, boy."
He raised his short sword, and swung it down. Gao Jun was surprised, blood flew through the air. It was Oro's blood, Kazein cut it off with a short sword from his chest. Oro's arm was on the ground as it was cleanly chopped off Oro's body. Oro was surprised but also in pain, he was angry.
"My arm! Little bastard! How dare you?!"
Kazein didn't speak, he just disappeared. Then Oro was up in the air, next thing he knew he was already 2 feet under the ground. Three circular blades and two kunai's rained down on him, it pierced his crouched body. He screamed in pain as his blood poured on. Kazein appeared on top of him, his sword was flowing with lightning sparks. Just when he was about to kill Oro, Ang stopped the blade with his bare hands.
"It's a duel, but it was between the two of us. What say you let him go and we let you two walk out alive?"
Kazein withdrew the blade, then with a sudden draw, he cut of three fingers from Ang's hand. Then, in a flash, he recovered Gao Jun and the two disappeared. If Ang chased after them, hey couldn't have escaped.
"Now then, Oro. I saved your arse, you owe me wine."
"Y yeah. That bastard. He used something unknown."
"You felt it too?"
"How could I not? It's the aura of an old comrade."
"So you still think of him as a comrade?"
"Why should I not? He saved my arse lots of times before you. He also never asked for wine."
Ang laughed, then. Three people with a lighter armor passed through. They were healers, they treated Oro first, then Ang. The severed limbs from both of them were restored. So long as the severed limb is still in tact, they could restore them scoth free.
The battle in the front lines went great. With the red wing order in advantage since the destruction of the Oar's formation and lack of command from Ang. The Oars mercenaries retreated when they were greatly outnumbered and oppressed. Unlike the foot soldiers yesterday, they had little balls. They knew when to retreat and when to attack. They had little balls, but had bigger brains.
That same time, Gao Jun rushed through the camp.
"Make way! Make way!" He yelled as he carried Kazein who was more heavily injured. Ang's was fast enough to stop his blade, what others didn't see was. Ang was fast enough to beat Kazein with his punches left and right and not make him fall. His face bled blood red, his body had bruises all over even his ribs were broken once more. The healing jewel couldn't cope up after completely healing him. This resulted in it slowing down in healing power, it needed to be recharged.
Gao Jun made it through the red wing order's nursery. The healers had trouble just stopping the bleeding, the hard part was that he lost a lot of blood in the first place.
Qin Xia stormed into the tent, and he saw Kazein unconscious and was bleeding excessively, the healers were only able to do basic healing. The injuries were too grave and life threatening that they couldn't do anything.
"Leave us alone."
"But princess, if we stop healing him. He might die. He already lost a lot of blood when I got there. The injuries that first healed only closed, his blood wasn't restored."
"Leave us... Alone..."
She had quite the aura.
"Yes... Princess... Please do he careful with brother Shiyi."
The healers left the tent after Gao Jun. The blinds were closed and only the torches illuminated the room.
"Shiyi, this happened because of me since I put you under my command. I should have given you your own order. So the responsibility of your well being falls to me." She approached Kazein's unconscious body, then she touched his eyes. "The eyes of despair, so it's true. You lost your memories and only remember being hunted down by numerous men in different uniforms and robes. You must've been a great man before you lost your memories."
Qin Xia got a pale of warm water and some stitching needles and thread.
She cut off his clothes with the scissors and cleaned up the blood. The bruises in his body were grave, they were black and blue. Some were from the blades of Oro, but what is scary is the punches from Ang. Part of his stomach was almost destroyed, it was only stopped since Ang wanted to let him live.
"Just how scary is Ang the giant?" Qin Xia asked as she began to stitch up the injuries. When she got to the stomach part, she stopped. And skipped it, as she was about to stitch up the wounds in his legs. "My, I... I saw something I shouldn't have..." Her face was flushed.
After sewing up all the wounds, she wrote runes using Kazein's blood. Then, she chanted something in their own tongue. After a while during the chant, the blood runes glowed, Kazein's body stiffened, yes. Stiffened, including that place. Qin Xia who was chanting the "spell" finished. As she opened her eyes, she saw it once more. When the stiffening phase ended, Kazein's almost destroyed stomach was healed. Qin Xia covered his body and hastened through and left. Gao Jun entered, a sudden gust of wind blew the cover. And he saw Kazein naked.
[Shiyi, that's some big pecker down there.] He paused, thought things up. And ended with a conclusion. [She must've used some forbidden maiden healing technique. Ah princess, if only Shiyi was a noble. The two of you could have had a future. Of course, only after five years.]
Two hours later. Kazein woke up, but still weak from the battle, he just stayed down.
[Ang the giant. He's strong, stronger than any opponent I've ever fought. Ufher than the enlightened road? Pfft. No, it's pure brute strength. It's true his earth magic is adding up to his physical strength, but it's still monstrous.] He had deep thoughts about the battle a while ago. Even though it ended with the red wing order's victory, it was still a defeat. Casualties reached 1,700, injured reached over 2,000. 300 of which are fatalities.
It was then that Qin HaoTian entered the tent.
