Treasure Tree Bay, Tedardis Fort, the wounded barracks.
Twenty days had passed since Elvin arrived in the Southern Continent.
As time passed and the war intensified, more and more wounded soldiers were sent here.
In addition to ordinary injuries such as sword wounds and gunshot wounds, a series of complications and tropical diseases that were already very popular also came to them. For a time, the pressure on the wounded barracks was unprecedentedly great.
Coupled with Shilius's blockade of the sea route, including medicine, holy water, gauze, high-alcohol alcohol, and other medical supplies, the priests, doctors, and other human resources were already stretched thin.
Even the portion of penicillin G potassium salt that Elvin had left behind before he left was almost depleted.
At this point, any application for the use of penicillin required the approval of the chief medical officer.
Because …
This miracle drug had proven its value with the fresh lives that had been saved!
And the inventor of this drug, Elvin, was almost put on a pedestal by the wounded soldiers and doctors. It was also under their witness that after being injected with this new drug, the soldiers who were on the verge of death actually came back to life one after another.
It was like a miracle!
However, one could tell from the expressions of the priests that this was not a miracle, but a miracle created by medicine.
Even after "penicillin" had achieved miraculous treatment effects. Some of the military doctors who were not afraid of blowing up the matter had already praised Elvin to the skies and even gave him the nickname "The Living Hippocratic."
To the wounded soldiers, this meaning was not exaggerated.
It was like there was always a lighthouse in front of them in the darkness. The hope of knowing that they might not die was a huge encouragement to them.
Even if they could only use it to treat patients who had to have it because of the shortage of supplies, it still played a role in stabilizing the hearts of the people and did not cause any trouble here.
It was just that they were about to reach their limit after persevering until now.
The middle-aged doctor strictly followed the operating procedures left behind by Elvin. After completing the injection for a wounded soldier who was in critical condition due to infection and suppuration, he carefully put away the remaining medicine and injection equipment.
Looking at the young assistant beside him who was watching attentively, he frowned and sighed slightly.
"Sigh, I wonder when His Excellency will be back?"
Previously, when there was enough medicine, the group of doctors had done a lot of experiments on it because they were excited as if they had discovered a new continent.
In subsequent clinical practice, they were pleasantly surprised to find that penicillin could not only treat suppurative infections of trauma, but also treat tropical diseases such as scarlet fever, which used to be very difficult to treat in the past.
At this time, they were looking forward to Elvin's return, not only to get the follow-up medicine, but also because they had accumulated too many medical questions to ask him.
It was all because of the miracle drug penicillin!
This was not only a victory for penicillin and Elvin, but also a victory for the doctors as a whole. Now that they had mastered this "miracle medicine" and how to use it, this group of people had turned over a new leaf. Their treatment in the base had skyrocketed.
Now, including the patients and doctors, no one was willing to give it up.
"Doctor Garvan, I heard that General Garriott has gone out to sea to cause trouble for the Shilius.
Many people were discussing that he was actually looking for the Great Knight who attacked the base to avenge Colonel Gör and the Alliance. Do you think he can succeed? "
The assistant behind the doctor was none other than the Duchy of Tulip's cavalry, Shandy, who was the first person to use penicillin. When there was a shortage of manpower, some of the patients in the casualty camp who were not so seriously injured had automatically taken on the responsibility of caring for their comrades.
Shandy, the first person to benefit from penicillin, was one of them. After so many days, other than the problem of his wound healing, he was almost completely recovered.
Although Shandy was unconscious with a high fever when Elvin came to treat him, he found out who saved him from the doctors after he regained consciousness.
At the same time, he also heard of a series of great achievements of His Excellency the General. Unsurprisingly, he became a new admirer of General Elvin and paid more attention to his news.
"I'm just a doctor. How would I know about high-ranking Extraordinaires? However, a Great Knight is equivalent to a garrison commander or deputy commander.
Anyway, during my time in the Southern Continent, I've never heard of a garrison commander of a country dying of abnormal causes.
Don't even think about it. A Great Knight is a monster with an average lifespan of 150 years. Your grandson will die of old age before they die. I'm so envious! "
Of course, Dr. Carvin hoped that Elvin would be able to retrieve the head of the deputy commander of the Shilius Navy when he went out, but he also knew that the chances of such a thing happening were too slim.
Moreover, although they knew that Elvin was a wizard, they did not know of Elvin's true Extraordinaire level.
This matter was just a topic for conversation.
"Okay, you help me. We'll bandage the wounds of the wounded again and put on new external medicine …"
Suddenly.
The loud clamor outside the casualty barracks interrupted their movements.
A young soldier's voice could be heard faintly.
"General Garriott is back, and … and the Steel Dragon that Shilius used to attack us last time!"
"What, Shilius is attacking again?"
Many of the wounded soldiers struggled to get up.
"No, it's not. It has been captured by His Excellency the General! He even brought back the head of the Steel Knight. Go and take a look, it's the head of a Great Knight! "
In the tent ward, an old man and a young man were stunned for a moment before jumping up at the same time.
At the harbor.
Two battleships slowly docked under the personal welcome of Major General Marshall, Faletis, who stayed behind to guard the base.
One of them was the "May Wind" that belonged to Faletis, and the other was a third-level battleship made by Shilius.
However, the open-air deck of the third-level battleship was almost completely destroyed. Only three black masts were still standing. Those were the masterpieces of the stubborn Shilius navy soldiers and Pope Clappenson.
However, no matter how much they tried to destroy everything, they still could not save the third-level battleship "Steel Dragon" from becoming Elvin's spoils of war.
Before they could disembark, the alliance base was already in an uproar.
Moreover, it would spread far and wide, causing huge waves of influence on the battlefield of the entire Southern Continent.
.....
He did not care much about the commotion in the base.
After informing Major General Marshall of the general situation of this mission, Elvin gave the head of the Steel Knight to Gör as a gift to bless his recovery.
At the same time, he also gave him a delicately drawn "Tree of Life Pattern". Even if he did not believe in it, he could not reject it. It was to prepare for the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" promotion ceremony in advance.
After that, Elvin brought Olivia back to their respective rooms.
"It's a pity that we killed them too quickly. I didn't ask them what they were transporting with the three ships."
Although he knew from the crew that they were going to retrieve some kind of secret treasure, he did not know what the treasure was or where it was. Only the three leaders knew the inside story. It was even possible that only the Steel Knight himself knew the exact location of that batch of treasures.
However.
Using the Steel Knight, whose name sounded very suitable for slashing, as a sacrifice, he not only avenged Uncle Garl for almost dying, but also successfully broke through the realm of swordsmanship that had been stagnant for a long time.
He also obtained a third-level battleship.
Elvin was already satisfied enough. He did not have the mood to worry about personal gains and losses.
Moreover, Major General Marshall and the upper echelons of the Alliance had already acknowledged the miraculous effects of penicillin. A huge order was waiting for him. The unknown treasure was no longer as attractive to Elvin as it was to him.
Besides, killing the Steel Knight was only the beginning of this war. He did not think that he could rest easy from now on.
The other target still had to be fought.
As a pinnacle great Knight, Griffith was not someone he could deal with for the time being. If he went looking for him, it would be a suicide mission. However, he also had a weakness — the Invincible Fleet of Shilius under his command!
Intelligence gathering was mutual. While Shilius had a clear understanding of the Alliance's military strength, the Tulips were also very familiar with this lieutenant general. They also understood the role he played in Shilius' internal conflict between the church and the state.
This time, the Invincible Fleet had a total of thirty-one ships from Shilius's mainland. They were led by a quasi-legendary battleship, the 'Red Maple'. The rest were mostly third-and fourth-level battleships. The weakest was a fifth-level battleship that escorted and investigated the fleet.
As long as they could deal a heavy blow to this fleet, the Royal Faction would be more than happy to use this opportunity to beat him to the ground. Even a pinnacle great Knight would not be able to bear the crime of losing a treasure fleet and causing a loss in the war.
Twenty days had passed since he arrived at the southern continent to save Gör, ambush the Steel Knight, and return to Treasuretree Bay. Although he did not communicate with Milan, his' Storm Horn 'should be arriving soon.
Elvin was prepared to confirm the time of arrival before carrying out the next step of his plan.
The so-called invincibility was relative. It was more due to the prestige of being the strongest country in the world. Elvin had captured the enemy's battleships one after another and even relied on them to make a fortune and rise in rank.
He was not afraid of this Invincible Fleet in the slightest.
Additionally.
Elvin found that after reaching grade 3, the power of the alchemical firearms could not keep up with his progress. The only advantage it had was its convenience and long range.
On the other hand, the activation time of his [Sword Arts Esoteric- Coil Cannon] was too long. Unless it was an ambush or the enemy was huge, it could not be used widely in actual combat.
Therefore, he decided to create an [Alchemical Electromagnetic Cannon] that surpassed the alchemical firearms.
There were two main forms of electromagnetic weapons: the Electromagnetic Railgun and the Coil Cannon. He could not decide which one to choose.
The principle was not too difficult. He could use witchcraft and his own control to achieve it. The most difficult part was the integration of the energy supply device and the electromagnetic cannon.
Although he had the ultimate energy treasure in his hands, the 'Magnetic Ohlite'. However, due to his limited knowledge, he could not fully comprehend the knowledge and replicate it in the real world.
This time, while waiting for the arrival of the 'Storm Horn', he brought along Olivia who was an expert in gemstone witchcraft to see if she could solve the problem of the Magnetic Ohlite.
Otherwise, even if the electromagnetic cannon was created, it could only be manually powered by the 'human body' and could not achieve the desired effect.
At night.
Elvin and Olivia were lying in their respective rooms across the wall.
"Uncle Gör's problem is almost solved. However, why do I feel like I've forgotten something? "
Before entering the spiritual world, a vague thought popped up in his mind. Elvin scratched his head but could not figure it out.
