Chapter 40: She Doesn't Look Very Capable in Battle!

"Captain, there are Eradicators here too!"

"Captain, we also spotted Eradicators over here!"

"Captain, the enemy is too strong, requesting support!"

In the streets of Jingling Court, the soldiers of the Guard Court's Tenth Squad were constantly clashing with Eradicators that had invaded the inner Jingling Court. As the squad leader of the Tenth Squad, Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji listened to the shouts of his men, his eyelids twitching; suddenly his head felt like it would explode. In fact, among the soldiers he commanded were also men from other squads…

The reason for this situation is simple…

Because the leaders of the "Killer Embryo" squads in the Guard Court's Thirteenth Squad were only caring about their own pleasure, completely ignoring the lives of their soldiers! They simply abandoned their own squad members! Brandishing their Soul‑Cutting Blades and using Flash Step, they rushed alone toward the Four Gates where the enemy was most dense. Thus the work of directing the slower soldiers was handed over to the "slowest" Tenth Squad leader Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji.

"I also want to go to the 'Four Gates' and kill to my heart's content!"

"But nobody told me about the Eradicator invasion! So annoying…"

Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji commanded his men while silently thinking to himself.

Yes, it wasn't that his Flash Step was poor, nor that he was sluggish; it was simply that Araki hadn't informed him when he used the Heavenly Sky Net. By the time he got the notice, everyone else had already gone, leaving him with this mess.

According to Araki, "Who made you so handsome? You're already threatening me! You deserve to clean up this mess!"

"All squads, gather at the barracks!"

While Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji was wondering whether he had been sidelined by other squad leaders, the voice of Jiro of the Sparrow Division rang in his mind. Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji knew this was the Sparrow Division's activation of the Heavenly Sky Net, and that the Sparrow Division represented Commander Yamamoto! So…

"Wu Shilan…"

Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji looked at his deputy squad leader.

"Present!"

The man called Wu Shilan, upon hearing the leader's call, immediately came to the leader's side.

"I'll hand this over to you!"

Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji tossed the words to Wu Shilan beside him and then used Flash Step to break through.

"What? Hand it over to me?!"

Wu Shilan looked up in bewilderment, seeing no trace of Wang Tuchuan Yuxu Ji's shadow before him!

"I…"

Wu Shilan accepted the situation in a daze, staring at the chaotic battlefield. How could a deputy squad leader manage such a huge front? Was this a joke? At that moment, the lowly worker Wu Shilan understood the feeling of the old "Ben Bo Ba".

Yet the war kept raging! In less than an hour, the swirling flames engulfed the entire Jingling Court! The Eradicators led by Youhabah from the Empire of Light invaded Jingling Court, constituting the greatest crisis in a millennium! The last time Jingling Court fell into such chaos was because of a certain great void creature from the Void Circle…

If one looked down from the sky over Jingling Court now, one would see the whole place ablaze with fierce fire!

Countless wounded Eradicators and Death God soldiers screamed in agony! Yet the war would not stop because of injuries; the fighting must go on…

But the wounded still need treatment! No matter how fearless the Death God soldiers are, they will not let their injuries worsen and lead to an untimely death…

Unfortunately, the original Guard Court Thirteenth Squad had never set up a dedicated rescue unit; the soldiers and leaders who once handled medical duties were busy killing on the battlefield, leaving no one to tend to the wounded!

So now, injured soldiers of each squad must figure out treatment themselves. Of course, if they are left to their own devices, when the war ends, regardless of who wins, the Guard Court Thirteenth Squad will suffer massive losses, and manpower will be severely lacking for a while.

Fortunately, Araki had anticipated this and prepared in advance.

Guard Court Eleventh Squad…

This once‑battle‑focused squad was now filled with beds for the sick, and rough‑looking men scrambled to bandage and treat the wounded.

Yes, you heard right! The Eleventh Squad men who only knew how to swing blades have now all become doctors! Of course, they know neither the Return Path nor any medical skill…

But they will cut! At infected spots… cut! At bleeding spots… cut! Then burn it! As long as the blood stops, that's fine!

As Araki said, as long as a person isn't dead, losing an arm or a leg doesn't matter; surviving is what counts, and after the war he will personally treat them…

Thus, the Eleventh Squad's patients are now all maimed! Meanwhile, because the other squads' soldiers don't know that Araki can save them, they lie there cursing the Eleventh Squad men: "Damn! Incompetent doctor! Give me my leg back!" and the like.

Logically, such brutal medical methods would scatter the Eleventh Squad, but in fact they remain remarkably orderly; everyone waits to be cut and treated! All because a classical beauty with a smiling face, hair tied up, sits on a chair silently watching the crippled patients.

This beauty is called Mao Zhi Hua Lie…

The Eleventh Squad's blades seek their organs; the knife in Mao Zhi Hua Lie's hand seeks their lives!

And…

"Brothers! I swear by the name of the Shanmu Clan! Back then my legs were blasted away by two arrows from the Eradicators raised by that dog‑mother! But it's fine, Squad Leader Araki casually took over! So you need not fear being maimed, fear not losing the ability to swing a blade! As long as you survive, Squad Leader Araki will replace the missing parts!"

This is the very Shanmu Zong Yilang rescued by Araki from the battlefield! He is now Araki's top lieutenant in the Thirteenth Squad.

With Shanmu Zong Yilang, a noble, swearing in his family's name, the soldiers feel a bit reassured, though when a simple wrist injury gets the Eleventh Squad idiots to cut off an entire arm, they still shout, "Damned barbarian, damned incompetent doctor!"

On the other side…

Outside the Eleventh Squad barracks.

"Is it confirmed?"

"Mm! Confirmed! This is indeed the Death Gods' hospital!"

"Look, so many wounded are being carried in!"

"Indeed…"

"One last question: are you sure there are no 'Squad Leader'-rank Death Gods inside this hospital?"

"Of course not! How could we miss the weird‑looking 'Squad Leader' Death Gods?"

Several Eradicators dressed in white knight armor gathered here, staring at the Eleventh Squad's barracks where wounded kept coming in, their eyes showing a hint of ruthlessness.

"Very good!"

"Then, eliminate this place…"

"No! To be precise, slaughter this place! Let them feel the pain of our Eradicators!"

At the leading Eradicator's command, everyone moved at once.

Like white specters, they burst into the Eleventh Squad's barracks.

"Who are you people?!"

The Eleventh Squad's soldiers, caught off guard, didn't have time to draw their Soul‑Cutting Blades, but no one really cared; after all, their squad leader, Lady Mao Zhi Hua Lie, was still sitting nearby.

"You ask what I am?! Stupid question!"

The leading Quincy, surrounded by other Quincies, walked into the Eleventh Division barracks with a smile, looking at the sickbed where Soul Reaper squad members, each with their injured parts cut off, contempt showed in his eyes.

What backward medical technology!

This Quincy of the Star Cross Knights couldn't help but sneer.

Ah, looks like you're the enemy, huh?

Maozhihua Lie, sitting in the chair feeling her body about to turn to iron, looked at the prey that had come to her doorstep and picked up her Soul-Cutting Sword at her side with a smile.

Hehe!

That Star Cross Knights member, upon seeing Maozhihua Lie's jacket, was first taken aback.

Upon seeing Maozhihua Lie's beautiful face, graceful figure, and snow-white skin, he immediately showed a look of contempt—this woman is so gorgeous, she must be easy to defeat!

He had also seen the captains of the Court Guard Squad Thirteen, who basically looked non-human; this girl before him is so pretty, she definitely isn't a captain of the Court Guard Squad Thirteen!

That's right, I am your enemy!

Since you've been discovered by me, you are destined to die...

Instantly, that Star Cross Knights member was full of confidence, proudly looking at Maozhihua Lie and openly admitting his identity.

Swish!

Before that Star Cross Knights member could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, then felt his whole body lift into the air, spinning and jumping, and saw a headless corpse continuously spurting blood...

How strange! This body feels somewhat familiar!

Right, isn't this my body?!

That skull thought, and with a 'plop' fell to the ground.
