Chapter 466: Chapter 355: Please Don’t Die, My Supreme Commander

"Over by the mushroom racks? Are we saving someone? I’m crazy good at saving people!" Mountain Xi’ao immediately perked up.

"Quick, go get Yun Xiya. It’s a seriously wounded human woman." Shire pointed to his chest. The gesture made Mountain Xi’ao freeze for a second. "Damn it, my sister is better at this sort of thing."

With that, he flapped his wings hard and flew back quickly.

’Feels like Mountain Xi’ao’s flying much faster than before,’ Shire mused, pursing his lips. ’Doesn’t Favor of the Tree People just increase the speed at which you learn Natural Magic?’

But this wasn’t the time to ponder it. He had to put the thought aside and hurry toward the Teleportation Gate.

’Please don’t die, my future Supreme Commander.’ Of course, it was still uncertain if she would even agree to join him. But as for why she’d been stabbed in a vital spot like the chest, Shire had a few theories.

’For a Swordsman of her caliber to be run through the chest with a single strike, it had to be a sneak attack. But who did it?’ he wondered as he ran. ’Did someone from the War God Church show up? A powerful Bishop, maybe, unhappy with what happened to the Paladins?’

’God, I hope not. If that’s the case, it means another fight. Will I ever get any time to develop?’

He was realizing just how difficult it was for a faction to rise. Countless eyes would be watching you, searching for any advantage you might offer. Then they’d pounce, tear into you, and snatch those advantages away. They’d even rip off a piece of your flesh on the way out and call it "war reparations," as if they hadn’t been the ones to attack you in the first place.

By the Teleportation Gate, Shire met up with the two who had flown over: Yun Xiya and Mountain Xi’ao.

"What’s the situation?" Yun Xiya asked.

"I don’t know. Let’s go see for ourselves." Shire shook his head. He didn’t know the details. Far behind him, the subordinate who had brought the news was limping along, trying to keep up.

A few minutes later, they arrived in the central plaza of the Forest City.

A crowd of goblins had formed a circle there. Lying in the center was the girl with the high ponytail, though her hair was now in disarray, and a pool of blood was spreading out from under her.

Nearby, Red Eyes held a Longsword with a disgusted look on his face. It was his old sword, the Shamrah Black Sword.

"What’s the situation?" Shire asked Red Eyes directly, as Yun Xiya flew down to Diana’s side.

"Her own people. Ambushed her," Red Eyes said, pointing to Diana on the ground. "She’s alive. Healing Technique worked."

"Healing Technique?" Shire glanced at the Grand Commander of the Holy Order Army on the ground, then back at Red Eyes. "What’s with that look on your face?"

"It’s... too noisy." Red Eyes stabbed the Black Sword in his hand into the ground and walked away a few steps in disgust.

Yun Xiya, who had been on the ground, flew up to Shire. "It’s not good. The blade went straight through her chest, and her condition is deteriorating. The good news is she didn’t lose too much blood. She must have unconsciously cast a Healing Spell on herself. It wasn’t enough to counter the injury, though. To heal her, we have to pull out the Longsword, but that could cause massive bleeding."

"Let’s take her to the Mother Tree. I think the Mother Tree can heal her," Mountain Xi’ao suggested from the side. He’d been seriously wounded before, and the Mother Tree had healed him then, too.

"Good. Let’s move, now." Shire turned and ordered his subordinates to get started. Meanwhile, Yun Xiya cast ’Wind of Revival’ on Diana several times, stabilizing her vital signs.
