Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

The wound had healed under the influence of magic, and the next step was to remove the clamp.

Before releasing the clamp, the war sisters came up at the same time, looking at him with anticipation in their eyes.

When the clamp was loosened, all the war sisters gasped in unison. The scar on the medical sister's wrist was very faint and could not be seen without careful observation.

Seeing this result, the eyes of all the war nuns were filled with burning flames.

"There are actually no obvious scars..." The medical sister looked at her wrist, her face full of disbelief.

"Sir Lind." Cynthia, whose body was covered with scars, rushed forward with a warm and attentive look on her face. "I didn't expect that you are so skilled in medicine at such a young age. Can you remove my scars?"

Chapter 230 Cynthia's Promise

At first, the war nuns refused to accept Lind's treatment. The reason for their refusal was simple: Lind was a pagan.

According to the regulations of the Church of the Divine Emperor, clergy cannot accept treatment from other believers of God at will, and must use the power of the Divine Emperor to heal injuries.

Different gods have different magics. Basically, the magic will have corresponding power depending on what the god represents. Racial gods are an exception. Many racial gods have more almighty magics, knowing a little bit of everything. Therefore, according to legend, the God King Neos should be considered a warrior individual, and his magic can also heal.

Now I have established contact with the God-Emperor Neos. When I have time in the future, I will have a good chat with him to see if he is really as the legend says, who can pacify the world with his pen, rule the world with his martial arts, unify the electors, and marry someone else in bed.

In memory, the original Linde, as a devout believer who was ready to become a living saint of the God-Emperor at any time, once bought a book from the Pleasure Association at a high price in order to show his faith in the God-Emperor. The book was said to record the secret history of the God-Emperor's walk in the world. I won't go into details about the content, but the young believer remembered the feat of the God-Emperor and twenty elector wives fighting for a month.

You have definitely bought a fake book made by the followers of the evil god, Linde is now very sure.

But what if it’s based on history?

In short, there is only one medical sister among the war sisters. Although these sisters all believe in the God-Emperor and regard themselves as the daughters of the God-Emperor, they are all good at different divine arts. Even if the medical sister is injured, the other sisters can temporarily make do, but at most they can't cure her.

Lind couldn't accept this. The war sisters were the most important combat unit in this battle and they must not be lost. In the end, Lind assured them that he would never use the magic of the Earth Mother Goddess, but would use medical skills combined with Elisa's magic. He also mentioned that his treatment method would make the scars very small and light.

Then the nuns agreed.

In order to avoid trouble or shake their faith, Lind decided not to show them the stigmata on the back of his hand for the time being.

Now that the treatment was completed, Lind felt that the most important reason why these fanatical nuns would accept treatment from a pagan like him was because of what he casually mentioned: the scars would become smaller and lighter.

"It's actually really light." The group of tough sisters who were wielding their weapons just now were like seeing a miracle. They excitedly crowded around the medical sister and looked at her smooth wrist. Although it can't be said that there is no mark at all, it is already very light compared to other treatments.

Seeing this, Lind raised his lips in a proud arc. As a doctor, the happiest moment is when his medical skills are recognized.

"Um, Sir Lind." Cynthia stepped in front of Lind and said flatteringly. "I didn't expect that you are so good at medicine at such a young age. Can you remove my scars?"

As soon as these words came out, all the war nuns looked at Lind in unison. The hunger and fanaticism in their eyes made Lind feel like she was being stared at by a group of large female cats in heat.

As devout warriors of the Emperor, the Sisters of War all had scars on their bodies, it was just a matter of how many. Obviously, even if they were warriors of the Emperor, women still loved beauty, and no one could accept having so many ugly scars on their bodies.

"Well, the healing was done with my magic..." Alisa protested weakly, but was ignored gorgeously.

These elder sisters were very familiar with the healing effects of magic and divine arts. They knew very well that no matter what kind of magic or divine arts, it was impossible to make the scars from external injuries so small.

Lind looked Cynthia up and down. This royal sister had the most scars among these war nuns, all over her body, and even one of her eyes was blind. At this moment, her only eye was full of expectation, and even a hint of pleading.

Unlike what she looks like, this older sister actually cares a lot about the scars on her body.

To remove scars, especially scars this big, skin grafting is necessary. But in this world, there is a lack of the things needed for skin grafting. And as a neurologist, how can I perform this kind of surgery...

Eh? Just as Lind was recalling subconsciously, he unexpectedly discovered that all the old, vague medical knowledge that had been forgotten due to long-term disuse became clear.

And I didn't even react just now. When I was doing the cleaning, my movements were as flexible as a hand surgeon, and I even reconnected those blood vessels.

Seeing the pleading look in the other person's eyes, Lind couldn't bear it for a moment, and said truthfully: "I have a way to fade the scar, but! But! I can't do it now!"

"Why!?" After getting a positive answer, Cynthia subconsciously wanted to cheer, but was stopped abruptly.

"Because I'm short of something." Lind gestured. "I'm short of antibiotics, a razor, and one more important point. Do you have a large area of ​​intact skin without scars? Like your buttocks or something like that."

"Butt? I don't know. How about you touch it and try it?" Cynthia turned around excitedly and raised her buttocks so that Linde could confirm it personally.

Lin De subconsciously wanted to reach in and touch it to confirm, but just as he stretched out his hand, he stopped abruptly. There are outsiders here, be careful of the impact.

"If it's confirmed to be complete, then it's fine. Come to me tonight to confirm it." Lind retracted his hand. "But again, I'm short of materials, anesthetics, antibiotics, and more props."

"Anyway! When I get all these things in the future! I'll make them for the big sisters!"

Since Lind had said so, the war nuns could not continue to ask questions and could only leave it at that for now.

"If you can help me get rid of the scars on my body, I, I..." Cynthia thought for a long time about how to repay the other party, but she couldn't think of a suitable reward after thinking for a long time. "I will promise you one thing unconditionally."

Linde didn't take Cynthia's words to heart, he just waved his hand and left.

(You are so kind to the daughters of that cold sun.) After Linde left, the voice of the Mother Earth Goddess sounded in his mind, with a sour tone.

(You eavesdropped on me again.) Lind said with a frown.

These gods can harass me anytime and anywhere, and I don’t even know they are coming until they open their mouths. It’s really hard to guard against them.

(You accepted the stigmata of the cold sun, and your mother will be jealous.) Mother Earth continued sourly.

(Why do you call the God-Emperor Neos the Cold Sun?) Lind asked in confusion.

(Because he looks like the cold sun to us.)

Chapter 231 Soul

The battle lasted until noon, and then it was temporarily over. With waves of strong roars, the Chaos Beastmen troops retreated.

The Chaos Beastmen returned to the north of the island along the same path they had come. The narrow mountain road was littered with corpses of all kinds.

The first day of the war came to an end. The coalition forces suffered heavy losses, but overall they still had the upper hand and the enemy did not charge forward.

The enemy retreated, and the troops that had not participated in the battle were responsible for guarding against sudden attacks from the enemy. With the character of the Blood God, he did not like sneak attacks and tricks, but liked fair battles, and he did not like long-range weapons, so it was unlikely that he would carry out sneak attacks, but just in case, he still had to be on guard.

The troops that were not in combat were responsible for defense and cleaning up the bodies of both sides, not only their own but also the enemy's. If the bodies were piled up here and left alone, they would rot and cause plague. Linde did not want to cause non-combat casualties due to plague.

All the bodies of their own side were collected, and after the ceremony, each tribe was allowed to claim them. As for the bodies of the Chaos Beastmen, they were gathered together for cremation. As the leaders of the alliance, Illufa and Linde both participated in the funeral ceremony presided over by the former Thunder Tribe Shaman Thrall. During the funeral, Linde felt a slight burning sensation on the holy scar on his chest.

(I say, will the souls of these new beastmen really return to your arms?) During the ceremony, feeling the burning sensation of the holy scar on his chest, Lind asked the Mother Earth.

(Of course.) Mother Earth replied, with a heavy tone in her voice. (All believers who believe in me will return to my embrace after death.)

(Does the soul really exist?) Lind asked thoughtfully.

(Don’t you even believe in the existence of the soul?) asked the Mother Earth Goddess.

If it was before the time travel, Linde really did not believe in the existence of the soul, but this world is different, and his soul has traveled through time, so how could he not believe in the existence of the soul?

Then another question arises: what is the soul and what is its nature.

(If we believe in God’s words, will our soul go to God after death?) Lind asked.

(Yes.) Mother Earth said in a deep voice. (If you believe in God, your soul will go to the God you believe in after death and wait for the next reincarnation. So I am very surprised that you don’t believe in God.)

(For people like me who don’t believe in any god, where will their souls go after they die?)

(I don’t know. I’ve never encountered a situation like yours.) Mother Earth spoke truthfully. (And with your current condition and two stigmata on your body, I don’t know if your soul will return to your mother’s body after you die.)

When the Mother Goddess of Earth said this, her tone was a little sour, as if something that originally belonged to her had been forcibly taken away by someone else.

(Where do you gods usually stay?) Lind asked again.

(God's Realm, what else?)

(Where is the divine realm? Can I go there?)

(Son, are you asking this question because you want to die or you don’t want to live anymore?)

In the funeral ceremony held for those who died in the war, Lind was just a mascot, standing here with a serious face. In fact, throughout the whole ceremony, Lind was in a trance, communicating with the Mother Goddess of Earth in his mind.

In his mind, Linde asked Mother Earth many questions that could be considered common sense in this world, which made Mother Earth wonder if Linde was just using her to kill time and amuse herself.

According to the legends of this world, all creatures have souls, and after death, their souls will return to the gods they believe in. If a person has no faith, then after death, his soul will disappear and his spirit will be scattered.

This is why almost everyone in this world believes in a god.

It is still a legend that the place where the gods are is called the divine realm, and the place where the souls of believers go after death is also there. According to the legend, living people cannot enter the divine realm, so if Lind wants to see his "mother" with his own eyes, he has only one choice, which is death.

Since the gods all lived in the same world, they were neighbors, so Lind asked about the other gods, especially the God King Neos. As for the God King Neos, the Earth Mother Goddess had some resentment and even disgust towards him.

(The God-Emperor Neos you are talking about, in the God Realm, looks like an icy sun, the light it emits is so cold that even I cannot look directly at it for long. If you are exposed to that light, no matter what god your angel is, your soul will be shattered.)

After hearing what Mother Earth said, Lind understood why Mother Earth disliked Neos so much. In the God Realm, Emperor Neos was like a thorn covered with thorns. Not only the evil gods, but all the gods were repelled by the power of Emperor Neos.

As for what the Emperor of God said, that he is not a god, Linde also asked the Mother Goddess of Earth, but the Mother Goddess of Earth had no idea what it meant.

Just as Lind was communicating with the Earth Mother in his mind, the funeral presided over by Thrall ended. A strange feeling swept through his heart. Although there were incomplete corpses in front of him, he no longer felt any horror or sadness.

Their souls have all returned to Mother Earth.

After the ceremony, each tribe claimed the bodies of their tribe members. As for the bodies of the Chaos Beastmen, they piled them together and burned them. During the claiming process, the New Beastmen did not show too much sadness, because they all knew that the souls of these New Beastmen who died in the battle had returned to the Mother Earth.

Originally, Lind was thinking about getting some compensation for these sacrificed new beastmen, even if he had to owe them first, but looking at their expressions, Lind knew that it was not necessary.

Being able to clearly return to the arms of God after death is the best comfort for these new beastmen.

The first day of the war came to an end. As usual, the sheep and beasts climbed to the top of the mountain and closely monitored the enemy's movements. In the evening, the battle briefing was delivered to Lind.

In the main tent, commanders including Lind gathered together to listen to Ram's report on today's battle situation.

"According to statistics, in today's battle, we had 114 deaths and 514 injuries. After treatment, about 200 people will be able to recover tomorrow. As for the enemy, according to the number of corpses, about 300 people were killed."

"Not bad." Alisa said happily. "We have eliminated so many enemies."

Unlike Alyssa's optimism, the expressions on the faces of the other people present were not very relaxed.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Elisa asked hesitantly.

"So many injured..." Lind said to himself.

Chapter 232 Going to the Front

According to the statistics, the Allied forces suffered more than 100 deaths, while the enemy suffered more than 300 deaths. These numbers seem good, indicating that our side has the advantage. However, if the number of injured is also added, the picture will be different.

More than 500 people were injured, and only 200 were able to continue fighting the next day after treatment.

"Based on my observation, it's probably because of this." Ram expressed his thoughts. "In today's battle, except for the battle sisters led by Shanoya at the beginning, the rest was fought by the new beastmen. Although the new beastmen fought bravely, they are not qualified soldiers after all."

"The power of the Earth Mother Goddess allows these new beastmen to withstand more damage. Many of them can survive injuries that are fatal to ordinary human soldiers. Therefore, the tactics of the new beastmen are somewhat..." Ram turned his hands in the air. "Too heroic."

"Take on more damage..." Shanoya, who was present at the meeting, crossed her arms and frowned. This description reminded the elder nun of something dirty.

Dirty in every sense of the word.

"According to my observations after the war, the healing spells used by the shamans of the new beastmen who believe in the Mother Earth Goddess are more effective than ordinary healing magic and other spells."

"Knight, watch your words," Shanoya reminded.

"Ah?" Ram was stunned. "I didn't say any magic?"

"I am a devout nun of the Divine Emperor. I know exactly what divine magic you are talking about." Shanoya said seriously.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a moment, and it was Ilfa who tried to smooth things over and let the matter go.

"Those Chaos Beastmen were obviously influenced by the Blood God, and many of them were fearless, which is why this happened." Ram continued. "I also specifically asked the Sheep Beastmen who went to investigate, and according to Ms. Benio, there were not many casualties on the Chaos Beastmen side."

"First of all, according to your human way of speaking, you should call me Miss." Benio, who came to report the situation beside Ram, corrected the problem of addressing. She didn't want to be misunderstood as married, especially in front of His Majesty the Son of God. "Secondly, according to the investigation of my tribe, there are indeed not many wounded in the team of Lion King Mara."

Only death, no option for healing? The Blood God to his followers.

"That's the situation. Although our casualties are not as many as the enemy's, if we add in the injured, our losses are greater than the enemy's."

After Ram finished speaking, even Elisa realized the seriousness of the problem. Originally, their number of people was smaller than that of the enemy, and after the first day of fighting, their losses were even greater than the enemy's.

If you think about it carefully, this is also reasonable. One side has more health, and the other side has higher attack. The side with more health needs time to recover, so this result is not surprising.

If we only compare the number of deaths, the coalition still has the advantage, but if the other new beastmen troops do not arrive in time, the coalition will not be able to hold on. Once the East Mountain Pass is breached, without the terrain advantage, the coalition will have no chance of winning.

The key to victory lies in whether the remaining reinforcements can arrive quickly. Lind also confirmed the location of other troops again through the Mother Goddess of Earth, and the answer he got was the same as during the day, a group of old pigeons.

Is Lu Ge really going to follow Huang's example? Should we control the speed of our corps' march?

In order to ensure that the team led by Lu Ge could arrive in time and not delay, Lin De directly made it clear to the Mother Goddess of Earth, asking her to order the other party to come quickly and not delay. If Dongshankou was lost, he would not survive.

After a while, the Mother Earth replied. She said that Lu Ge said he was definitely not afraid, but the Son of God's plan was too sudden and it took too much time to assemble the troops. However, he promised that his team would arrive soon.

Linde's mouth twitched when he heard this. He was too familiar with this style of putting the blame on himself. He didn't expect that even the simple new beastmen would have such guys.

Can you send down an oracle to let the army be led by a different person? Linde asked the Earth Mother Goddess, and then the Earth Mother Goddess said awkwardly that she didn't know who to replace, and if she replaced one now, would the remaining troops arrive even later?
