Heavenly Saga

Chapter 266: The Reality Of War

Amidst the great battle between the Bahaghari Kingdom and their opposing country's army, Kraftvoll and the other soldiers from the medic unit were sent to rescue the wounded on the battlefield.

As soon as Kraftvoll saw the horror of the war, he was suddenly paralyzed by what he had seen.

Although Kraftvoll was deemed to be the most talented person in the whole Nidriege continent, he was still a young man with no experience in real-life war. After all, he's been under the wings of strong people all of his life.

Fortunately, he came to his senses when the young man in his group called him. He realized that it was not worth it for him to hesitate because he might be able to save some wounded that might live after treating it.

That's why Kraftvoll began treating all of the wounded soldiers that he and the other soldiers in his group found. 

Time passed by very quickly. Kraftvoll lost track of the time because of the numerous wounded soldiers that he treated this whole time. Although that was the case, there are still many wounded soldiers that needed to treat so Kraftvoll and the other soldiers from the medic unit could not afford to stop for any break.

'There are still many people left to be rescued! At this rate, we wouldn't be able to save them all! Is there something that I could do!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he was treating all the wounded soldiers that he saw on the battlefield.

As they were healing their allied soldiers, Kraftvoll's group suddenly faced a danger. While the young woman was treating one of their own allies, a wounded soldier, who was thought to be dead, suddenly picked up a weapon to attack her.

The young man beside her noticed the move that the wounded soldier of the enemy would to her. Without any hesitation, he decided to push her aside because he wanted to take the attack instead of her. 

"DALEE!!!" the young woman shouted as the other soldier was struck with the sword.

As soon as the wounded soldier finished attacking the young soldier, he wanted to attack the young woman medic beside her as well. Before he could even use the sword that he picked, Kraftvoll was able to pick up a sword and defend her comrade without her getting hurt.

"I'll take it from here! Heal Dale, Mary!" Kraftvoll shouted as he was fighting the enemy soldier.

Since he was a seishin practitioner, Kraftvoll was able to learn the ways of various weapons because seishin cultivation was not just about being able to conjure seishin spells.

After a few minutes of clashing with the wounded soldier, Kraftvoll was able to find an opening that helped him to finish the battle once and for all.

As soon as he finished the battle, Kraftvoll immediately ran toward his wounded comrades. The only thing that he saw when he arrived was Mary's crying face and Dale's corpse.

"Kraftvoll! Dale did not make it!" said Mary as she wept with a convulsive catching of the breath.

Kraftvoll could only grit his teeth after hearing the situation. He was extremely angry at himself for being unable to save his newly found comrade in this world.

A moment later, he looked at his bloodstained hands. Due to his great worry earlier for Dave, Kraftvoll forgot that he took another life. Although this was just a trial, it was still the first that Kraftvoll had done this in his life.

For most of his developing years, he was under the wings of the Verrater Academy and his master, King Arthur. That's why his hands were not yet stained by any blood, even the blood of his enemies.

Kraftvoll felt remorse for what he had just done. When he saw the corpse of Dale, he realized something that he must do.

'That's right! Dale told me earlier that as a soldier from the medic unit, we must continue with our duty despite the situation! The lives of those that can still be saved must not be compromised!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he saw Dale's content face.

Without any hesitation, he told those thoughts of him to Mary, and together, they continued their mission at hand without wavering.

A few hours had passed since Dale's passing, Kraftvoll and Mary were still working their hardest so that they could rescue more lives as much as they can. To their surprise, they heard a huge shout from their own army.

"Glory to the Bahaghari Kingdom!"

"Glory to the Bahaghari Kingdom!"

"Glory to the Bahaghari Kingdom!"

Both Kraftvoll and Mary were both rejoiced after hearing the victory chant of the soldiers of Bahaghari Kingdom.

'The battle is finally over! Still, many wounded soldiers are needed to be tended as soon as possible!' Kraftvoll thought to himself after hearing the victory chant. Mary had the same line of thought so, like Kraftvoll, she also decided not to stop working her best.

After a few hours of hard work, all the jobs of the medic unit were finished. They managed to tend to the soldiers that managed to survive up to this point.

Unfortunately, all that they could do for those who lost their life was morn for them. After all, bringing back someone to life is impossible for them to do. Even in Kraftvoll's world, bringing the dead is not plausible.

Despite they managed to survive the battle, Kraftvoll and Mary couldn't help but be downhearted about what happened to Dale.

To Kraftvoll's surprise, someone from his back tapped him and said, "It's okay to feel down when you lost a comrade. You just need to remember that winning the war is the only thing that would make their death meaningful."

After hearing those words from the person behind, Kraftvoll decided to slowly look behind him. Like he expected it to be, the one who tapped him in his back was the very same person who invited him to join the army.

Before Kraftvoll could say something in response, Supreme Commander Bato continued what he was saying. He said to Kraftvoll, "Young man, I saw how you fought that wounded soldier from the side of the enemy. Although he was a wounded soldier, that man is one of the highest officers of the battalion that attacked us. This means that he is a very skilled soldier."

Even after hearing the supreme commander, Kraftvoll was still unable to answer. Supreme Commander understood his feelings since he just lost a close comrade of his so he said, "Take your time, young man. You know that I am right."

The old commander exited the are after saying those words to Kraftvoll. A few moments after he walked away, Kraftvoll's expression suddenly became quite determined. 

A moment later, he went to Mary's side and he said to her, "I'm going to join the vanguard, Mary! I'm going to avenge Dave's death by helping the cause of our side!"

After saying those words to Mary, Kraftvoll ran toward the walking supreme commander's side. When he reached certain proximity to the old soldier, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Sir! I'm going to join the Vanguard of your army!"

After hearing Kraftvoll, the supreme commander of the Bahaghari showed a smile on his face after he stopped walking when he heard Kraftvoll's determined shout.

"That's the spirit, young man! Come together with me! I'll introduce you to our bravest soldiers!" shouted the old man as a response to Kraftvoll.

When Kraftvoll the response of the supreme commander, he decided to rush toward his side. As soon as he reached the side of the old soldier, another soldier came running toward the supreme commander.

As soon as the soldier arrived, he said to the old commander as he was panting, "The enemy that retreated came back! They brought another two battalions at us! It seemed like they managed to make a diversion with the other battalions from our side, Supreme Commander!"

Although the situation was very bad for him and the battalion where he was currently staying, the old supreme commander retained his composure about the matter. Without any hesitation in his voice, he immediately gave his order to his soldier.

"Send some messengers to the other battalions. Tell them to reinforce us as fast as they can! We'll hold them while we wait for them!" said Supreme Commander Bato to one of his trusted aides.

After inhaling a lot of volume of air, the old supreme shouted at the top of his lungs, "MY SOLDIERS! THE ENEMY IS COMING AGAIN! THIS TIME, THEY HAVE OVERWHELMING ADVANTAGE TO US IN TERMS OF NUMBER! WE MUST SURVIVE UNTIL REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE! GLORY TO THE BAHAGHARI KINGDOM!"

"Glory to the Bahaghari Kingdom!"

"Glory to the Bahaghari Kingdom!"

Meanwhile, back in the sanctuary of Central Valkyrie Forest, The Valkyrie was watching Kraftvoll's every move from a ball of crystal.

"Your real trial is going to start now, young one."
