224 The Night Battle (Part 2)

“Anne, they’re asking for more bandages!”

The battle happened for an hour already. She could hear screaming and explosions everywhere from the port area. Anne was already busy treating wounded soldiers. Just in the first ten minutes, there were already casualties from both sides.

She goes to the crate, frantically searching for bandages. She looks at five rolls of the bandages and gave the healer two rolls. The healer looks at her with a frown. “Come on, this is not enough.”

She huffed and gave him another roll. “Use it wisely. This is the last one that I could spare on the frontline.”

“Then make more!” Said the healer and he left before she could hear her complaining.

“He complaining again?” Muttered one of the healers, who was busy stitching a knight who got an open wound from a spear.

“Yes, as usual…” She answered while rolling her eyes, she took an empty basket and told the healer to attend to the patients, “I need to make more bandages, I saw Tenun trees near the river, I could make more bandages.”

“Wait, Anne, are you going there alone?” Said the healer.

She smiles and waves at her, “Don’t worry, It’s not that far, and besides I have protection.”

.....

The place is really not that far, and with the hovering light orb, the Tenun trees are visible for her to see. Anne activates the crystal blade and begins to cut the huge leaves of the tenun trees, in this world, tenun leaves are one of the main items to make a fabric, the softness and the smooth contour of the leaves give it the number one quality as a fabric.

There are plenty of leaves that she finally gathered. She washes them carefully on the river and rolls it to put in the basket. That’s when she heard a scream, she knows something was wrong in the healer’s tent.

“Chikara!” Anne called for her familiar right away.

A huge black entity came out from her shadow, ‘Master.’

“Something was happening at the healer’s tent. Let’s go!” She put the basket on the ground and rode her familiar to go as fast as she could back to the tent.

When she arrived, there were three knights attacking the tent. This is a random target and, sadly, the only soldiers around were the wounded ones. They tried to fight as best as they could, even on the stage as they are right now.

Chikara plunged itself into one of the enemies, while Anne with the healers jumped into one of them, while the other one was fighting the wounded soldiers. They were struggling so much, as the healers never had any combat training. She has the crystal blade in her hand and immediately stabs the feet of the knight.

The enemy wailed, but manage to land a blow on Anne’s face, she fall with blood dripping from her forehead, her friends screamed and gave him a good fight until Anne could finally stand up and go into the medicine cabinet, she took meylatee powder and Camilla powder; she mixes it with the pure water and drips it into the handkerchief.

She tells her friend to hold the knight, and she jumps into his face and put the stained handkerchief directly to his mouth and nose. He drops to the ground immediately. She runs into the other knight and does the same.

The two knights were now unconscious, finally able to restrain them. Anne checked into the third knight. Chikara was in the middle of sitting on his body. How glad she was when she heard him screaming from underneath her familiar.

“Good job, Chikara.” Said Anne while petting his head.

He let her take the knight with two mildly wounded soldiers, keeping him at bay and restraining him with the rope. She was grateful to these knights and huntsman; they tried their best even with the injuries that they sustained.

“Thank you, you can go back to your stretcher, let me handle this.” Said Anne to the two knights.

“Miss, we need knights to guard us here. It’s not safe.” Said one of them after looking at how messed up the tent is right now, “Just look at us. We can’t handle another attack.”

“They are fighting right now. I don’t know if they can spare any troops.” Said Anne, full of doubts. But looking at the tired and wounded troops, I know that they weren’t safe anymore. “I’ll go, and in the meantime, please guard the tent, and turn off all the light orbs. The enemy probably saw the lights.”

“Alright, be careful, miss.” Said the wounded knight.

She nods her head and took her bag with her. Anne begins to descend to the area of the battle. She knew the position since Justice gave her the map of the formation. Chikara was ready to take her, but she refused to do so.

“No, I want you to ask for help from one of them. I’ll be here, waiting.” Said Anne to his familiar.

‘But I don’t want to leave you alone, master.’

“It’s alright, Chikara, I’ll be hiding, just be quick.” She finally convinced him, and when she looks at her familiar’s gone, she took it upon herself to hide in the bushes.

Not long after, there were voices coming to go to the healer’s tent, two knights, ready to take another ambush, she panics but knew that she need to do something. She prayed and run towards the knights; she incapacitated one by cutting the foot, but the other one grabs her arm. She was in danger.

Xavier was coming ahead. With Darla, Chikara sense something happened to his master and run to the cliff, Xavier and Darla followed suit, and they run towards it when they saw a shining red light coming from one area. They saw Anne engulfed with a large shield and a protection spell engulfed her body. Chikara chased the knight who was running after saw the spell that coming from her, he bite one of his arms, and the knight fall with a blood-curdling scream.

Xavier run towards Anne, “Anne, are you alright?” Asked Xavier with concern on his face.

Anne smiled, although her face was full of bruises. She raised her right hand and show him a red ruby ring on her ring finger. “I told you, I have protection.”
