Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 173: THE PROTECTION OF THE LIGHT

April approached the soldier who looked the most seriously injured, he had an ugly wound on his arm, almost severed, Lionel said.noveldrama

We must amputate the arm, there is no magician, nor doctor who can cure such a wound.

– Bring me bandages, maybe it is not too late to rescue his arm.

Amara, you are not a god, we are magicians, there are things we cannot do, no matter how much we wish for it.

– I know, but let me try. Lionel scratched his head and said.

_It’s okay, anyway his condition is critical, if he survives it will be a miracle.

Lionel went to look for bandages. Here you go.

– Help me to join his arm. -That will hurt him.

Lionel joined the arm again, that soldier gave a heartbreaking cry, the pain had been so great that he had ended up fainting. April asked Lionel to go get more bandages since the ones they had were scarce.

I’ll be back soon.

When Lionel left, April infused her healing magic into the man and slowly saw his color return and his facial expression become calmer.

“You’re going to recover.”

She whispered in his ear, although he could no longer hear her, he was still unconscious. April continued healing the other soldiers, all of them had ugly wounds, they were dying and if she hadn’t helped them, they would have surely ended up dying. When Lionel returned, he brought two more magicians, they helped change the bloody bandages and join the almost amputated limbs of the soldiers at April’s request, it had seemed useless to them, however, none of them said anything.

In the distance, an explosion was heard, April was surprised and asked.

“What was that?

” “It’s the battle, it must have already started, they use magic stones that explode to keep the monsters away from the barrier and be able to leave without them entering.

” “Does that kill them?

Not at all, but they make them fly away for a few minutes, that allows them to leave.”

_ I see April was worried about Alessandro, she knew he was someone strong, however she couldn’t stop being afraid that something would happen to him, she hit his cheeks to spend on what was in front of her at that moment, Lionel told her.

- Why are you hitting yourself?

- I just wanted to focus. You’re crazy.

April continued working on the wounded, when she finished with the last one, she left the tent and turned her gaze to the battlefield, beyond the invisible barrier that separated them, she saw a horrible scene, despite the distance she could see the monsters and the dead lying under her feet, that reminded her of the prophecy that her mother had once told her, until that moment April hadn’t thought about it much, but she wondered how her mother knew that would happen.

Sirius approached April and seeing her so distracted.

-Is something wrong?

No, I better go check on the wounded I treated yesterday.

They’re fine, they’ve fully recovered, today they joined the battlefield.

April looked at the battlefield. I hope they survive.

That arose from the luck of each of them.

Maybe I shouldn’t have healed their wounds completely, then they wouldn’t have had to return to the battlefield.

-Do you know why we magicians stayed behind the barrier?

April had also wondered since magicians were good with attack magic and some were excellent warriors, but she hadn’t even asked anyone.

-The truth is, no.

We are the last barrier, if they fail we must protect the city and its citizens, our duty to care for the wounded, but we do it because we know that if they all die the army will fall and only we will be left, but as you will see we are few so the only thing we can do is reinforce the city with all our magic, completely empty ourselves to create a strong and impenetrable barrier, die so that others can live; that is why if you can heal someone do not do it halfway to prevent them from returning to the battlefield, because if we all stay behind the barrier, who will fight against the enemy?

– I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.

– You didn’t know, but I hope that now that you know it you use your power to help us win this war.

That’s why I’m here.

_No, actually you’re here for Alessandro, but I hope you don’t just want to save him, think also of the people who live in these lands, fight for them too, remember that you are the queen of Cosset and it is your obligation as a queen to fight for them even if you don’t know them.

After saying that, Sirius walked to the barrier, put his hand on it and a light shone reinforcing the barrier. When he passed by her he said to her.

Think about what I told you.

April returned to the tent where the wounded were, the wizards who were there looked surprised.

- Did something happen?

- All the wounded seem to be better, what did you do to them? Nothing special, I just used healing magic and treated their wounds just like you.

- Are you sure?

- Yes and now let’s leave the talk there are many

... things to do.

The battle raged on all day, at dusk the sound of a horn was heard, it was the signal for the soldiers to return, some wizards rushed to the barrier and cleared the entrance for the soldiers. April ran over, she anxiously looked for Alessandro with her eyes, when she saw him she felt that he was breathing again. Although he looked tired and his armor was stained with a liquid, but he did not seem to be hurt.

Lionel pulled April, preventing her from going to Alessandro.

- Amara, what are you doing? There are too many wounded, don’t you distract yourself.

- Yes, I’m sorry.

That day she was handling the wounded all night and she couldn’t see Alessandro, she had gone to get water from a nearby well, regretting not being able to see her husband even though they were in the same place. When suddenly she heard Alessandro’s voice behind her.

Aby.

She turned immediately, a smile appeared on her face.

- Lesan.

He approached. Seeing dark shadows under her eyes, he asked.

- Have you not slept? There were too many wounded. Don’t overexert yourself. Don’t worry, rest later.

Alessandro was wearing his armor, April put her hand on it and said.

- Come back safely.

- Promise.

April wanted to give Alessandro something to keep him safe and the only thing she could think of was to renew his armor with magic, she closed her eyes

and infused her magic into that armor, a warm light covered Alessandro completely and made him feel.

_I have blessed your armor or that is what it claims to, I don’t know if it works, although I pray that it does, that no monster can touch you.

-I will check it in a while and I will tell you at night.

Alessandro leaned forward, gave April a kiss on the forehead and said.

Take care of yourself while I’m gone.

I’ll be fine, I’m behind the barrier.

-I know and that’s why I don’t give up and fought with all my strength. April remembered what Sirius had said the day before, apparently what he had said was not a lie, the wizards were a last resort, if those in front failed, they would have to sacrifice themselves to keep the city safe, which did not exempt her.

He gave her a soft kiss on the lips and said.

– See you soon my love, as Alessandro walked away April felt her heart tighten in her chest. She was not used to seeing him leave towards death and blood, which was the battlefield.

Alessandro met with his army, Cassian was in the front row next to him and asked him.

– Have you seen Aby?

– Yes.

– How is she?

All things considered, fine.

Cassian could sense his brother’s anxiety, he must have been very worried since April was in that place.

– I’m really surprised you didn’t tie her up and send her to a safe place.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but she would be furious if I did that, I don’t want my wife to end up hating me.

– Yes, she is like that.

Alessandro unsheathed his sword and stood on guard, all the soldiers imitated him, some explosions were heard behind the barrier, shortly after when the path was clear the barrier opened and they joined the battle, their swords clashed against the monsters that were in the front line. Alessandro swung his sword and cut everything that stood in front of him, every day they killed countless monsters and enemy soldiers, but these did not seem to diminish at all, he even came to wonder if they would ever end this war. Alessandro had been lost in his thoughts, he discovered his right flank, one of the monsters born of darkness that had long tentacles wanted to pierce him, but upon making contact with his armor, the tentacle of that monster disintegrated. When April’s blessing appeared it worked very well, those monsters could not touch his armor without turning to dust.
