As the saying goes, "a single move can affect the whole body."
There is no way that the traces of the large-scale mobilization of the steam army will not be grasped by the Fist Temple.
The main force of the Iron Fist Army was originally looking for an opportunity for a strategic decisive battle with the Steam Army.
Now it no longer concealed its true strength.
Dozens of troops and hundreds of Fist Temple priests were like a swarm of enraged wasps.
Approaching Guts' village.
On a strategic location with a radius of hundreds of miles, the elites of both sides have been entangled with each other, putting on a good show of encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave will win, and the fight will last until death.
And more troops are still coming from all sides to enrich the suicidal teams.
It was like two monsters with dozens of heads each, opening hundreds of bloody mouths and biting each other tightly.
This side was already covered in bruises and blood, but the other side was still expanding and growing.
And stare at the opponent intently, ready to give the opponent a fatal blow at any time.
There has been a bloody storm on every front with a radius of hundreds of miles.
The small village where Gus is located seems to be the center of a storm, but it still maintains a fragile calm.
Speaking of which, the decisive battle between the two sides started because of him.
But in fact, he is like the fuse of an unprecedented explosion.
With or without him, the explosion is just a matter of time.
Therefore, after the main forces of both sides collided violently, the commanders of both sides focused all their attention on their opponent and forgot about his existence.
In particular, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Steam Army does not want this so-called "Holy Son" to gain greater influence and affect his own status, but he also does not want the "Holy Son" to be captured and killed by the enemy, which will damage morale. suffered a devastating blow.
The so-called "Holy Son" is treated like a mascot and kept in a safer place at the rear.
This is the best.
Therefore, in the next few days, although Gus' body had recovered, he was not able to go to the front line where the fighting was fiercest, and he was not even able to meet the senior officials and commander of the Southern Steam Army.
What he saw most were the wounded soldiers sent down from the front line, as well as the old, weak, women and children who were responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers.
The Steam Army used his village as a field hospital.
Of course, the world of Boxing God has just developed into the embryonic stage of the steam era.
The concept of the so-called "field hospital" is actually extremely imperfect.
There is no good way to treat the wounded with broken muscles, fractures or even bloody flesh.
Apart from smearing and bandaging with placebo-like herbs, we can only hope that he, the "Holy Son", can bring about miracles of healing without medicine.
Unfortunately, the so-called miracle is something that cannot be copied.
For several sleepless days and nights, Gus stayed beside the wounded who were bleeding profusely and even had no human shape, praying and treating them clumsily.
But the only thing he could do was to listen to the other person's moans getting weaker and weaker before death, and then watch helplessly as dim blood bubbles spit out from the corners of the wounded's mouths, one after another, until the last one.
Although their enemies are often unarmed.
But the Iron Fist Army has undergone cruel training.
Their bodies are like steel, and their fists are like siege rams and heavy artillery.
When they dance wildly, they have tens of millions of kilograms of power.
It is a literal "die if you touch it, rub it" If you catch it, you will die."
The purpose of sending the wounded who were bombarded by such iron fists to the rear is not so much for treatment, but rather because we don't want them to die miserably on the front line, lest their morale be ruined.
Although he didn't save many wounded people, no one blamed Gus for not trying his best.
Everyone still has no doubt about his identity as "Holy Son", and there are even rumors that if you die under Gus's prayers, your soul will soar up with the steam and go to the real heaven.
As a result, more wounded people needed Gus.
Many of them were seriously injured and were in a state of near-death frenzy.
They simply couldn't wait to die under Gus's prayers.
There are also the old, weak, women and children who take care of the wounded - there are no full-time doctors and nurses in the field hospitals in the world of boxing.
Those who take care of the wounded are just civilians who have been affected by the war and have been displaced.
Many of the children's parents are fanatical believers in the Steam Cult, and they may have been reduced to puddles of mud by the enemy's iron fists during their heroic charge.
Such children have all become Gus' die-hard fans, worshiping him fanatically, like little tails that can't be shaken off, following Gus day and night.

And Gus also heard countless stories about the fanatic followers of the Mechanism and Steam Cult from the dying wounded and the fanatical young admirers.
In fact, there is nothing strange about it.
It's nothing more than how the Fist Temple extorted money and taxes, forcing people to survive, and severely cracked down on various inventions related to machinery and steam.
In the end, the government forced the people to do nothing.
But these stories have happened countless times before and will happen countless times in the future.
They are told from mouths spurting blood, sprayed out from pairs of innocent eyes, and twisted and deformed with tremors.
It was written down in handwriting, but the shock to Gus was particularly strong.
This is a deformed world.
Gus had never realized this so deeply before he watched hundreds of people die tragically in front of him in a tragic form full of holes and bloody flesh.
Centipeded insects are dead but not stiff.
Even if the Steam Army really wins this so-called "strategic decisive battle", it does not mean that the Iron Fist Army will be completely annihilated and the rule of the Fist Temple will completely collapse.
The steam army can at most consolidate the rule of the south, and then the world of Boxing God will enter a state of confrontation between the north and the south.
In the next hundred or even thousands of years, fierce battles with countless corpses and blood flowing everywhere will continue, turning this world into a Shura hell.
Even if the Machinery and the Steam Cult completely defeated the Temple of Fist and brought the entire world into the age of steam, Gus already knows that steam civilization is still not the highest form of civilization.
One day, new forces will rise again and destroy everything. , sweeping the power of steam into the dustbin of history.
And in this process, how many innocent people will die tragically?
Gus didn't know.
He was very confused.
Holding the hands of the wounded soldiers who were gradually cooling down - many of the wounded soldiers were not much older than him, their green faces were particularly pale against the bright red blood, and listened to them murmuring the names of their father, mother and beloved girl. , Gus really couldn't help but regard them as living, flesh-and-blood people.
However, if Gus had to watch the boxing world fall into a bloody war for hundreds or even thousands of years, and let these living people with flesh and blood like him become meaningless casualties in the Shura Hell, he, he would never accept it. .
"What if there really was a perfect paradise where everyone could be transferred to live a carefree and forgetful life, wouldn't it be great?"
In the dead of night, when he curled up tiredly on the corner of the bed and took a nap, this ghostly thought would appear in his mind uncontrollably.
