The evacuation had been completed long ago, and so there was nobody there. Soon, Remedios reached her destination, which was a corner of the city. However, her sister, Calca and her adjutants often told her, “Don’t charge in by yourself all the time!” so Remedios throttled back the desire to sprint with all her might and quashed the desire to make up for lost time. Her metal armor was lighter and easier to move in than it appeared, and given her physical abilities, she could reach her destination faster than anyone else. Remedios broke into a sprint at the head of her troops. “All right! Then let’s meet again later!” None of them spoke up or protested they simply agreed with each other. The soldiers also sensed the meaning in Remedios’s powerful gaze. She had to reach her destination before Jaldabaoth arrived. However, she no longer had the time to hear them out. The pain of walking was probably enough to drive the soldiers to tears. After that, let the medics at the rear tend to you.” We’ve performed first aid on your wounds, so fall back. “You brave gentlemen, stay that way and listen. Remedios still remembered her sister’s incessant nagging to wisely use limited resources. Since the soldiers were no longer in danger of dying, there was no need to heal them any further. Even so, it was enough to heal the soldiers to the point where they could stagger around. After all, this was only a first tier spell, and it could not fully restore a soldier on the verge of death. Of course, the recovery was not complete. The healing magic mended the soldiers’ wounds swiftly. “-I can’t hear you muttering through your helmet, so speak up!” “-Ahhhh, you talk too much! This is an order! Heal him to the point where he can move on his own! Also-”Īt this point, Remedios glanced at the adjutant beside her and said: “Would it not be better to let the medics in the rear aid him? If we use the priests’ mana here, we might run out when fighting Jaldabaoth, which might be the demons’ aim-” In response, one of her Vice-Captains stepped up and whispered in her ear: ![]() Remedios was accompanied not just by the elite paladins behind her, but also by several priests. And the most important thing was that she was a paladin of righteousness. Nobody would ever discard the brave soldiers who had chosen to become a shield for their nation in order to buy their country time. Still, the option to simply let the soldiers die did not exist in Remedios’s heart. The soldiers were not yet dead, but it was neither a miraculous survival, nor was it because the soldiers were simply that good, so was this the demons’ aim? That said, she had no idea what the demons were planning. ![]() She would need to treat them on the spot with magic. There was no time to send the wounded soldiers back to a casualty collection point. ![]() While she had almost no medical knowledge, her own experiences supplied enough information for her to make a judgement. His face was well past the point of paleness, now a bloodless white. She could even see the pink of his innards. His leather armor had been cleanly severed, and the hands clutching his abdomen were stained a deep red. She looked at a fallen soldier - not one of the vanguard troopers, but a local patrolman - and Remedios bellowed in rage. However, the signs of how the demons had ravaged the city remained. Within seconds, there was no trace that the demons had ever been there. The fallen demons vanished as thick white smoke steamed from their wounds. She had cut down the demons rampaging through the city one after the other. Imbued with holy power, the blade could inflict grievous wounds upon evil beings, and it was doing so to great effect. Remedios gripped her holy sword and slashed a demon - her Vice-Captains had told her its name, but she had completely forgotten it - in half. Volume 12, Chapter 1 The Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth Part 4
