Chapter 1116: Chapter 134: Brothers are like clothes, women are like hands and feet
Alster, the Royal City.
The barracks against the wall were shrouded in sombre clouds, cries echoing all around, wounded soldiers lay haphazardly, and the dense smell of blood permeated everywhere. The Divine Blood Heroes, with their grey faces, sat in the dim corners, many of them also injured, urgently needing treatment.
Finn swiftly moved through the barracks, his son Ao Xiang and grandson Oscar each carrying a basin of clear water, following closely.
And each time he saw a wounded soldier, Finn would scoop a handful of clear water from the wooden basin, mutter a few prayers, and then sprinkle it on the soldier’s wound.
Moments later, the wound would heal at a visible speed, and the dying body would gradually regain vitality.
The warriors who received this miracle could not help but be deeply grateful to Finn, revering him as a deity.
——The "Water of Life," this is Finn’s innate divine ability.
As a descendant of the Deep Sea Giant Clan, he had a powerful affinity with the ocean and life. No matter the water, as long as he scooped it up with both hands, he could instantly kill the germs within and turn it into water with restorative effects.
It was precisely because of this unique ability that the Fiona Battle Group, although constantly engaged in battles, was continuously expanding in size and obeyed him implicitly.
After all, not many were willing to offend a miraculous doctor who could save their lives at critical moments.
And now, the Fiona and Red Branch battle groups had just paid a considerable price to successfully withdraw from the battlefield and return to this fortress, still safe thanks to the protection of the deities.
Although the main forces were effectively preserved, this was undoubtedly a defeat.
Effective treatment and demonstrating the miracle of life could undoubtedly boost the low morale a bit.
Finally, after inspecting the entirety of the barracks and aiding all the seriously wounded, Finn sighed in relief and looked around.
Yet, after scanning through the rest area of the Fiona Battle Group several times, he still could not find the two familiar figures in his memory:
"Where are Her Royal Highness the Princess and Diarmuid?"
"Haven’t seen them; they might be in trouble."
The straightforward grandson Oscar answered directly.
Hearing this, Finn’s face tightened as he instantly summoned his Magic Spear:
"I’m going to check it out!"
Among the two, Diarmuid was fine; as a warrior, he should have long been prepared for the possibility of dying on the battlefield. But Princess Grainne was Supreme King Conmark’s most beloved daughter, and he could not afford any mishap with her.
Because the old superior was growing older and had not designated a successor, he seemed inclined to groom Princess Grainne to take over the Great Authority of Ireland.
Given that Maeve has already set the precedent of reigning in Connacht, a woman inheriting the throne was not impossible.
If combined with the support of him and the Fiona Battle Group, Princess Grainne could certainly complete the transition of power.
And by the time, as her husband, he would instantly become half a king of Ireland, or even the prestigious King of Mankind in the Celtic God Era.
Just you, too talkative!
Ao Xiang glared at the talkative Oscar, quickly rallying a few Fiona warriors still capable of fighting, hurriedly following behind his father Finn.
The alliance had just suffered a defeat; morale was low, and the situation outside was utterly chaotic. Going out to find someone under such circumstances required considerable risk.
Just as Ao Xiang hesitated about whether to dissuade his father, a cheer came from the city gate:
"It’s Princess Grainne, Her Royal Highness has returned!"
A beautiful girl, wearing a water-green long dress, with her hands stained with blood, staggered into the city with the support of several Fiona soldiers.
Upon seeing this, Finn sighed in relief, quickly going up to greet her:
"Your Highness, you finally returned; I’ve been worried about you."
Seeing the Magic Spear in Finn’s hands and his readiness to leave the city, Princess Grainne’s view of this prospective fiancé changed considerably, and she said solemnly:
"I’m fine; it was Diarmuid who protected me."
Then, gripping Finn’s hands with urgency:
"But he stayed behind alone to cover my retreat just now, and his life and death are uncertain. Please send reinforcements to support him as soon as possible!"
"Oscar, take a team outside the city and see."
Finn casually issued the order and then summoned two maids to accompany the princess back to her room.
Watching his father leaving in Princess Grainne’s company, Ao Xiang could not help furrowing his brows.
It turned out that the troop mobilization, even at the risk of his life, was all for saving this woman.
And what about Diarmuid? Did father forget the Battle of the Mountain Pear Tree Palace?
This affair traces back to years ago during an invasion of Ireland. King of Luochlan led his army to attack Ireland but was defeated by the Fiona Warrior Group, and the King himself died in battle.
After the remnants fled, Finn found one son of the fallen King of Luochlan surviving on the battlefield, Midak. The child was still very young at the time, so Finn took him home and raised him, and let him join the Fiona group. Due to some opposition within the Fiona Battle Group to keeping him, Midak later left Allen Mountain, where Fiona resided, and settled north of the Shannon River in the Mountain Pear Tree Woods.
Later, after growing up, this child invited Finn and Fiona members to his home ostensibly for a visit but secretly planned to kill them and offer their heads to the three kings of Torrent Island as vengeance for his father’s death. Unaware, the Fiona members became trapped by magic after sitting down, unable to rise from their seats, only then realizing they had been deceived. They sang lamentations, and the song spread across all Ireland, alerting everyone to Fiona’s dire situation. Despite other Fiona warriors coming to Finn’s rescue and battling fiercely against Midak’s troops, they unfortunately fell short.
