Chapter 1153

(Unedited)

The military training started and the newbies are trained further for mass formations and etc. Xin Ja watches on the side as he also went through training as a medic.

War is not a trivial matter and the new recruits are not sent to war without training.

And so the training went on for a week before it ended and the whole troops were deployed on the battlefield.

The southern border of the kingdom of Jimal is divided into four parts. It is like a huge crossroad where the kingdom of Glysko, the kingdom of Han, and the kingdom of Garion are separated. The borders of the two kingdoms which are Han and Garion have a natural barrier of steep mountains, the kingdom of Glysko and Jimal is different.

This borderland is like a bottleneck where the two kingdoms have access to each other's territory which is like a really wide passage.

And because of this, the two kingdoms have built long and tall walls and many fortresses to protect their side of the border.

However, in the middle of the land in-between, the walls are the neutral inhabitants of both the kingdoms. And right now, this is the place where the war is happening.

As of this moment, the army of the kingdom of Glysko has started marching from one village and town after another to conquer them.

The citizens of the kingdom of Glysko are spared, but the citizens of the other kingdoms are captured and turned into slaves by the forces of the kingdom of Glysko. And this has sparked the war between the kingdom of Jimal and Glysko. In fact, if the other kingdoms have easy access to this route, they would also send their army to stop the advance of the kingdom of Glysko which is already a challenge to their front.

As of this moment, according to the reports five villages and two towns have already fallen in the hands of the force of the kingdom of Glysko.

The army in the fortresses from the kingdom of Jimal has already been mobilized to secure the rest of the towns. But they did not have enough soldiers to protect the villages, so they did not have any other choice but to spread the news that the kingdom of Glysko is attacking.

If the villages escape and would go to the towns, then the soldiers of the kingdom of Jimal would be able to protect them, but if not, then they would be on their own.

Then it did not take long before the two armies collide on the battlefield where the kingdom of Jimal suffered huge casualties because of the large number of soldiers sent by the expeditionary force of the kingdom of Glysko. It is clear that the invading kingdom is prepared to push its way into the territory of the kingdom of Jimal.

Inside a military encampment inside a small town protected by the kingdom of Jimal, a few military officers are in a meeting.

"We lost a significant amount of soldiers in this war… when will the kingdom recruits come?" a large and stout-looking man said while sitting behind a long table.

"Reporting to the general… there are still 2 days before the reinforcement will arrive at the border… It is said that the kingdom has sent around one hundred thousand plus soldiers to our fortress." An officer replied.

"Hmm… I guess we are going to receive a lesser number of reinforcements because of our failure to protect the last town…" the general said with a serious expression.

"But General Ri, it is not our fault! We were overwhelmed by the army of the enemy… How could we defend the town with such a huge number of soldiers on their side?" an officer said.

One could see that the officer seems to have been wounded in a battle. And it seems that he is one of the survivors in that fight against the invading army.

"With the one hundred thousand new recruits coming to our side, we might still have a fighting chance… we can only rely on strategy to try and buy more time… if we can hold on for a week, then the other forces would be able to finish their task and squish the enemy in one go…" General Ri said as he began to point on the map and explain the plan coming from the stronghold.

The army where Xin Ja is has soon arrived in the fortress where they were assigned. He saw a long and tall wall that is said to be protecting the kingdom of Jimal. Upon looking at the wall which seems to have no end on sight, he began to marvel at its construction.

He could not imagine how many runemasters and alchemists take part in constructing such a wall. It was truly baffling and mysterious how it was built.

In their training, he has learned that there are around ten fortresses protecting the walls.

Each fortress has a large amount of army manning it and he could also tell that outside the fortresses there are already villages and a town.

These villages and towns are the lifeblood that supports the fortress and their need to continually function.

Without the villages and the town in each of the fortresses, it would be hard for them to be able to fight and stand against their enemies.

Plus, it is also a source of soldiers for the kingdom.

On the way to the fortress, the large army went around these villages and the town.

Three days later…

Koji Town

"We have another wounded here!" shouted a medical staff while dragging the long stretcher with a wounded soldier on it.

The two of them quickly lay the soldier on an empty bed and then left with their stretcher.

At this time, the medical masters quickly went to work as they checked the soldier and his wounds.

The alchemist on the other hand is brewing potions non-stop as the herbs on the shelf of the apothecary dwindle quickly.

On the forest nearby, in the villages, and in the town, the herb suppliers busily collect the herbs to be used by the army.

As the battle intensifies, so does the need for the herbs and the potions.

"Sir! He… he did not make it." a medical master reported as he shook his head while covering the deceased soldier with a white cloth.

But he did not stop… instead after writing a quick report he rushed to another patient and quickly examined his wound.

At this time, a huge army enters the town.

And one of the soldiers in that army is Xin Ja.

He looks around the war-torn town and the ruins everywhere and was a bit taken aback. From outside the wall, as their battalion advances, they saw the enemy soldiers surrounding the town. The enemy just retreated upon seeing the reinforcement arrive.

But that leads the town to its current condition.

He was quickly sent to the medic station along with the other medics.

"Alright! Everyone should quickly help out!" shouted their commander.

Xin Ja nodded his head and carried his first aid box and quickly scanned his surroundings. His eyes landed on a heavily wounded soldier who is vomiting blood. It seems that no one is taking care of him, but he could tell that the soldier is the most heavily wounded one in the room.

With a frown on his face, Xin Ja walks to the side of the soldier.

Some of the medics noticed this but say nothing. Some even showed sneer on their face while watching this scene.

"Is he stupid? One look and I could already tell that the guy is helpless. No one dares cure him because of his heavy condition… Does he really think he could help that guy?" one of the veteran medics muttered while watching the scene where Xin Ja approaches the man.

Xin Ja did not bother with the whisper around him and was focused on the man before him.

He could tell that the man is holding on by using his own Ki. This only means that he still has a will to fight and has not given up. He noticed a few discarded potion bottles on the side which shows that he was fed with a potion but was still ineffective.

His eyes landed on an arrow on the man's shoulder. He then noticed that there is a trace of dark green blood on his skin from his exposed flesh due to the shattered armor and town cloth inside.

"Poisoned…" Xin Ja muttered as he quickly takes out three silver needles from his pocket.

He did not think of anything and just use his palm to strike the armor covering the man's body.

His action immediately made the people watching him show shocked expressions.

When seeing the action of the small young man before them, they were all thinking one thing.

And that is…

The youth could not watch the man suffer anymore and would end his life in one stroke.

Although they did not know what courage came upon the young man, they all admire his courage a bit.. They are just lamenting the consequence afterward and the ignorance of his youth.
