(Unedited)
…
Over 4,000 soldiers donned in hard leather bronze armor covering their chest and their backs are matching on the plain. Their helmet is made of metal which gleams as the sun in the sky shone through it. The imposing number of this army shook the ground as they march forward in a uniform manner following the loud beating of the drum.
Shin Jiao is currently lying on a makeshift bed while looking at the soldiers busily walking outside of the camp.
The doctor who checked him told him a lot of things about the war that is currently happening.
And through skin contact, he has already noticed that the soldiers who carried him and the doctor does not have any cultivation or their cultivation are also being sealed by an unknown power just like himself. And this made him feel a bit worried about this place.
Then from the doctor, he learned that in this land there are 4 warring empires.
Two of them have already taken a huge part of the land, the Black Iron Empire from the west, and the Golden Dragon Empire from the East.
These two empires each own at least 35% of the land and its resources. While the remaining two empires, the Silver Moon Empire and the Holy Elk Empire owns 15% each.
The reason for this is because the Silver Moon Empire and the Holy Elk Empire are passive and did not dare to start a war against the other empires while the Golden Dragon Empire from the East is the most aggressive one.
According to the records it has already been thousands of years since this war has begun. And the territory of the two passive empires has shrunk to what it is today.
And currently, Shin Jiao is on the territory of the Silver Moon Empire.
The place that he is right now is the main border of the Silver Moon Empire and the Golden Dragon Empire. According to the doctor, in this place, skirmishes between empires would always happen. And right now, the reason for the conflict between the two Empires is because the Silver Moon Empire did not stop the Black Iron Empire as they pass through their territory towards the Golden Dragon Empire's lands.
This lack of action infuriated the Emperor of the Golden Dragon Empire and declared an attack towards the Silver Moon. They are demanding the Silver Moon Empire to surrender its northern mines to them as compensation. If not they would forcefully enter the land and occupy the mines.
But the Silver Moon Empire could not adhere to this request. Those mines in the northern mountain slope of the Silver Moon Empire are rich resources where 50% of mineral and iron ore of the empire, came from.
If they lose those mines then their trade and production would lower and would affect most of their citizen's livelihood in that part of the Empire. Hence, the emperor of the Silver Moon did not agree. Hence this battle happened.
Upon learning about this, Shin Jiao just sits there in contemplation.
"It seems that I have put myself in a dangerous situation. My guns are unable to function in this place as they use Qi as a propellant. If only I can have some materials to make gunpowder, then I might be able to create normal bullets… Hmm… wait a minute…" Shin Jiao thought.
He looks around and when he saw no one, he suddenly took out a metal ore from his ring. Then he focuses his energy on his finger and tried to use his crafting ability to manipulate the ore. The ore was affected by his ability when his skin touches the ore, but he has to spend ten times the amount of energy just to form a small knife.
"Damn it… although I have a lot of energy, I just could not waste it like this…" he thought as he continues to do some experiments.
Meanwhile, outside the soldiers have become busy as they immediately grab the ideal position in this war which was seen by General Jingxi Hu.
From the map he was looking at, he saw a hidden huge part of the cliff which can be used as a stronghold for their army. He knew that if they are able to establish a base in that place, they would be able to hold their ground for many days until their reinforcements arrive.
Plus he also knew that this place is the target of their opponent's army. This is because the place they are building a stronghold right now is on the territory of their enemy.
If one just looks at this place, they would not know its importance in a battle, but General Jingxi Hu is different. He is a strategist. He knows how to look for a defensive position and in facing 4,000 soldiers that is what they needed the most right at this moment.
And so the soldiers busied themselves cutting trees and making walls in that area of the cliff.
While this is happening, Shin Jiao has already discovered things that he can do and things that he cannot do in this place.
Although his powers are sealed, he is still able to use them through touch. But once Qi is exposed in the environment it would immediately dissipate like a small drop of water in the vast ocean.
And so with this knowledge, he walked out of the small tent.
When the doctor saw him the old man was a bit surprised.
"Young man… you're still wounded. You should rest… surviving a battle and losing your memory is not a light thing. You should rest for a couple of days." The doctor said.
"No… I'm fine now… I wanted to go around the camp and see if I can help with something…" Shin Jiao said.
"Are you sure?... Oh, by the way, we have already identified the bodies on the battlefield. And this is the only soldier tag that has no corpse… the general thinks that this might belong to you." The doctor took out a three-inch-long piece of wood with a carved name on it.
And the family name on the three-inch-long piece of wood is, Ji, and the given name is Qiong.
"Qiong Ji?" Shin Jiao muttered showing a confused look on his face.
"It's okay if you can't remember… Here, take this. Go now and take a rest…" the old doctor said as he turns his attention towards a soldier which seems to have received a wound.
"Sword wound?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked in curiosity.
Upon hearing this, the doctor showed a faint smile. But he continues to put medicine on the soldier's wound while explaining the reason why the soldier got wounded.
"They are practicing and he got struck by a blade."
"Oh… I see… it seems that… It seems that I know how to treat these kinds of wounds." Shin Jiao suddenly said as he walked towards the doctor.
The wound is on the soldier's left arm. And from the looks of it, the gash if around four inches long and is a bit deep. It seems that the sparring partner of this soldier didn't hold back.
"Doctor… may I?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked.
The doctor hesitated for a moment but is also curious as to what the young man could do. It might be a chance for him to remember who he really is.
Because this young soldier is the only patient in the tent, the doctor also wanted to see if this amnesiac young man could truly help him.
In this company, he is the only doctor present, unlike the other companies where there are two to three doctors to help them.
Well, the only reason for this is because this particular infantry company is where the most useless soldiers are assigned.
There are around 100 soldiers in this company and the doctor is already familiar with them as he would usually take care of these soldiers who seem to be being bullied by the rest of the soldiers in the battalion.
If this young man really knew medicine, then he would be of great help to the old man.
And so Shin Jiao steps in front of the young soldier who seems to be afraid of his presence. The young soldier's eyes are darting towards the old doctor with a pleading look on his face.
He wanted to retract his wounded arm, but Shin Jiao was fast to grab the soldier's arm while showing a faint smile on his face.
"Don't move too much or you will tear your muscles… Let me just try to numb your pain, okay?" he said as he shifted his attention to the wound on the young soldier's arms.
As a Chinese soldier and also someone who knew a lot of things, Shin Jiao has learned not only the way of killing but also the way of torture. Hence he knew how to use acupuncture needles by heart. He would also often use needles to help him in battles if he is wounded.
With a quick movement of his hands, he directly hit the acupoints of the young man for pain and mobility.
Then he didn't waste any moment as he looks at the gaping wound. On the side, Shin Jiao can see many acupuncture needles, but there are no threads. Hence he looks around and saw a silk cloth. He then grabs a knife and carefully extracted a single thread of silk.
Then using his crafting technique, he secretly bonded the end of that thread to a needle while he slowly bends it like a hook.
His fast and quick action baffled the two people inside the tent. But Shin Jiao didn't mind them.
After doing that he quickly suture the gaping wound and closes it.
"Don't exert too much effort for now. Although that wound is already closed, if you put effort into it, the wound will open, okay?" Shin Jiao advises as he removes the needles on the young man's acupoints.
After the simple operation, the old doctor saw Shin Jiao looking at the herbal ingredients on the table.
"What are you looking for?"
"Well, we need to use something to create antibiotics…" Shin Jiao said as he scanned the medicine.
His contact lens busily analyses the medicine on the table. Suddenly he found a small pot which made his eyes lit up. Since he knew of the danger in this place without his own power, he decided to be with the doctor to make medicine. This way he would be able to survive in this unknown land.
"No… don't take that… that's my family secret medicine." Suddenly the old doctor rushed and grabs the pot before Shin Jiao could take it.
