/Woosh!/
" Ahh...."
" Okay! You should all be fine, take a few moments to let your bodies adjust, then please exit the tent in an orderly fashion!"
With my announcement to the group of soldiers I've healed, it looks like everything was moving along smoothly. So far I've healed around 1500 Demons and it looks like I'm nearly halfway done. So far, from what I could feel, I've only used around 30% of my mana in the healing so far. So I don't think finishing this all up will be too difficult, from there, it'll just be dinner and then some... Heavy reading, I guess, before bed.
" My Love, are you sure you're not getting tired?"
" No, I'm fine, are you and Anna doing alright? You know you can sit down behind me if you want? The only reason I'm standing is that I find it easier to spread my mana for healing groups, you know?"
" We're fine, Darling, we're just trying to make sure you're okay, I mean, we did just finish traveling for a long while and you're already hard at work."
Sarah and Anna seemed to be concerned, but in all honesty, I feel okay. Paladin's Recovery is almost too good to be true some times... Though I say that, Sarah and Anna seemed to be holding up just fine as well? Now that I think about it, I'm usually the one that needs to take breaks in-between our sparring sessions during our training... Well i do spar everyone else usually as well... It's almost like everyone is simply waiting their turns to spar me whenever the sparring sessions begin. Well, either way, I guess our stamina meant that the day wouldn't deplete us. Though I say that, for some reason, the thick folder that will be copied for us to read through is flashing through my mind... I suppose that's something to worry about after dinner however. For now, I need to just focus on what's next.
" Okay! Please send in the next group!"
After waiting for around 2 minutes, it looks like the Demons that I healed were all able to walk and balance themselves without issue, with that, the next batch of wounded soldiers could walk in. It felt good to see all of the faces that were full of gloom and pain now smiling and looking excited for what would come next. Granted, what's next is a battle, but the battle-loving Demons probably look at it like a sporting event more so than a war. I don't know if that was the better perspective or not? Regardless, I guess I'll be leading the vast majority of them into battle. I hope that I can command them well... I guess I'll need to go over what I'll want them to do when it comes to the battle. I'd imagine that my ideas will be a bit different compared to who ever was going to lead them originally after all.
" So you're Marquess Drake?"
A somewhat high-pitched voice called out to me with a bit of a surprised tone in their voice. I looked at them to see a pair of reptilian-like green eyes staring at me. They belonged to what I could only describe as a walking lizard... No, perhaps it had more in common with a dinosaur than a lizard? Judging by the fact that no one was acting strange, I'm assuming it's a Demon that talked to me. It was dressed in black armor with gold trimming. It stood in contrast to it's light-green skin and red mohawk on it's lizard like head. It's teeth were showing, with a snout that showed them off that seemed to have more in common with an alligator or crocodile than a Demon or Human. It's 3 arms had 3 big hands that had sharp claw-like nails that seemed primed for attacking an enemy. I looked at it, somewhat confused, it was at this moment that it introduced itself.
" My apologies, I forgot to greet you. My name is Captain Henry Ross, A good portion of the men and women you're healing today are under my command in one form or another."
" Oh, Captain Ross. I've heard about you. Your men, in particular Private Harris are the reasons why we know the enemy's location."
" Indeed he and Lieutenant Miles were the ones to return. However, that mission was only successful due to our fallen men, having my Lieutenant back is great, but the real success of this mission was built on the backs of our Privates who lost their lives. Private Harris will be in the tent shortly, I hope you can care for him well, Marquess Drake."
