Chapter 25: After the Battle
The frost giants' bodies lay sprawled on the ground, their enormous forms now lifeless, the air permeated with the smell of blood.
Soldiers busily cleaned up the battlefield, while knights tended to their comrades' injuries.
Thankfully, due to thorough preparation, casualties weren't severe.
Most had only minor frostbite or scrapes that could be treated with the ointments and bandages they carried.
Several physicians worked nearby, bandaging wounds and applying warm medicinal solutions to prevent cold energy from entering the body.
But the knight who had been thrown by the berserk frost giant was in extremely serious condition.
His face was pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His armor had been shattered by the giant, his chest deeply caved in.
It was obvious that his ribs were broken, and his internal organs likely severely damaged.
Although he still had faint breathing, whether he could survive remained uncertain.
A physician knelt beside him, his expression grave: "The injuries are too severe; conventional treatment can't save him."
The knights surrounding them looked uneasy; this was their comrade.
