Chapter 617 Battle (IV)
On the ninth day, the front lines of the Holy See were trenched.
Wounded soldiers, blood, germs.
There was no way to accommodate so many wounded soldiers in the underground fortifications, so the Holy See could only place them in temporary tents erected on the ground.
Exposure to unprotected terrestrial environments.
Priests wearing badges poured low-concentration holy water in the tents to curb the spread of germs, covering the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air with light water vapor.
This trench group accommodated more than 10,000 wounded soldiers. The remaining wounded soldiers either died on the way back or were sent directly to the rear because they could not be treated.
Identification of wounded soldiers is necessary and necessary.
Distinguish between those that can be saved, those that cannot be saved, and those that require a certain amount of resources to be rescued.
And use different treatment plans for different objects... Of course, ordinary soldiers can only enjoy the most basic divine healing, and the priests do not have the resources and time to devote to these 'consumables'.
Complete the hemostasis, release a healing spell, and move on to the next patient.
For those who are judged to have no rescue value, they will not waste even one healing spell, and at most they will be given enough low-concentration holy water to complete the disinfection.
After all, this frontline church is full of soldiers like this.
Even the centurion was only under observation for a while. Only priests of the divine order could be sent to the underground hospital built by Baishi to receive the most advanced treatment.
Every Templar Knight and Hound Sister is a valuable asset to the Holy See. Their strong self-healing ability and ability to perform divine magic also make them less likely to die.
Medical care, assistance.
The entire front line was not in chaos because of the enemy, but instead fell into chaos because of the large number of wounded soldiers.
The injured have far exceeded the threshold of frontline injury treatment capabilities. Even if the Holy See uses traditional patient identification and classification, it can only save a part of the patients.
Medical technology other than divine magic must be chosen to assist, and priests must be transformed into more professional 'doctors' in order to further increase the demobilization rate.
Doctors are not necessarily only priests from the Holy See.
There are also doctors who cannot be detected and whose origins are unknown.
The doctors wore the same priest uniforms, opened the same tents, and completed treatment for the soldiers...in order to infiltrate the Holy See and obtain some precious wound treatment data needed by the territory.
Biological data for magical sequence units.
Then try your best to treat some wounded soldiers.
At a certain moment, they had quietly infiltrated into the Holy See's frontline injury treatment system.

"Are you not mistaken? Is there an extra zero in the casualty data?"
Levins looked at the frontline commander of the Holy See and repeatedly confirmed that the above data was correct. He lowered his voice and questioned the commander who came to report.
"I know that the front lines are all organized at the division level. Could it be that you calculated the casualties based on the entire rout organization? So that... you overestimated the losses of the troops?"
Four infantry divisions were immediately demobilized, with more than 60,000 casualties.
Even if human life is just a number to them, this number seems so terrifying.
They didn't care about the casualties of their soldiers, but such high casualties meant that it would probably be difficult for them to take the fortress.
There was no way to get the victory they promised the Privy Council.
The latter is much heavier than the former.
"It won't be much different." The frontline commander's voice trembled: "If possible... the frontline hopes to postpone the attack."
It was as if they had stepped into a mire with one foot, and they didn't know how much blood it would take to fill the quagmire and create a path for people to lead to the other side.
The personnel sent by the Holy See before them carefully maintained this quagmire and did not let the things in the quagmire extend outward.
"Bishop Levins, everyone is waiting for your speech. Several newly transferred bishops..." The mid-ranking priest opened the door and immediately stopped talking when he saw the two people.
"Listen, you have done a good job. You have advanced to four kilometers in front of the enemy's front line, and you have established a firm foothold with trench belts." Levins arranged his white dress and asked the priest who came to invite him to wait outside the door.
"..." The frontline commander of the Holy See was stunned for a moment, then nodded bravely: "Yes, Lord Bishop, our first wave of offensive pushed the front ten kilometers forward."
"Very good." Levins patted him on the shoulder: "This is what the people above want to hear."
"I have to go to the party. There are a lot of people from the Privy Council." Levins said with a smile: "They need a party to celebrate our victory in this world... After all, the last time we were so valued was the opening up of new territories. Or hundreds of years ago.”
His eyes were on the splendid walls, which were covered with ancient paintings bearing traces of time.
"If this auditorium hadn't been built before and there was no place for them to hold the party, the Privy Council would have planned to build this place as a new central world."
Levins walked to the window and overlooked the repaired square... There was no sign of being bombed in the square. Even the surrounding buildings that had been burned by high-explosive bombs had all been replaced with white stones.
Everything is brand new.
"Have you seen those big islands floating in the sky? There must be large-scale floating stone veins on them... There is no such large floating stone vein in the records of the Privy Council."
He raised his gaze and landed on the horizon. He couldn't see the floating island from such a distance, only the thick cumulonimbus clouds in the sky.
"If we can control the source of floating stones, we can greatly strengthen the power of the Church." Levins smiled and said, "The output of rare resources in this world is beyond imagination... more than five times that of ordinary worlds."
This is the real God-given world.
Unreasonably rich resource output.
"The one in the vanguard army is unwilling to help us. The Privy Council has approved new paladins to support us. They will help you make a breakthrough."
The paladins will be put into the battlefield and be responsible for the final breakthrough of the defense line.
