If in the past Xiao Yu'er was merely a dispensable Surgeon accompanying the team, from this moment on, she has officially become part of the future Special Forces Unit roster. Regardless of how team formations will be conducted in the future, there will always be a Surgeon included. Initially, adding this position was not well-received. However, as time passed and through trials of blood and fire, the value of the Surgeon was ultimately proven.
As a participant at that time, she understood basic battlefield first aid. This is similar to those Martial Arts Masters, who carry not only weapons but also Gold Ointment. It becomes crucial to know how to stitch wounds and administer medicine while minimizing the presence of a healer. Otherwise, while others might be fine, one could end up dead. To put it bluntly, this was a skill forced upon them.
For this reason, those who have dealt with weapons for years can perform simple wound care. For a Special Forces Unit that has already minimized its personnel to the extreme, having an additional valuable combatant is far better than bringing along another medic.
Injuries that do not affect mobility are generally considered minor. Thus, they do not hinder the Troops' rapid response capabilities. Handling such injuries is manageable; bringing a medical officer along would seem somewhat excessive.
Similarly, if a team member suffers severe injuries, even having a Surgeon on-site for surgery would be ineffective. There are limitations imposed by medical equipment and the conditions necessary for surgery. Any operation that requires their involvement is often extremely dangerous and conducted behind enemy lines.
At this point, carrying a Wounded individual into action would immediately compromise the Special Forces Unit's agility. This forces severely injured individuals to choose between staying behind to cover the team's retreat or taking their own lives. This was the unfortunate choice faced by the severely injured Yu Cheng, who did not want to endanger his comrades due to his burden. It sounds harsh, but it is a reality that exists. Consequently, the presence of a Surgeon accustomed to rescue operations loses its significance.
So why does the team still include this medic?
The reasoning is quite simple: missions undertaken by the Special Forces Unit are not short-term affairs. Some missions require long treks deep into enemy territory for covert operations. The need for medical assistance during transit and upon returning from missions becomes particularly important.
Each member of this unit is a valuable asset within the military. While it may not be an exaggeration to say they are one in ten thousand, it is certainly close enough. Losing even one member feels akin to losing an eye.
Those who have a chance to survive naturally strive to ensure their comrades live as well. However, these tasks cannot be managed solely by those who only understand basic first aid; thus, the value of having a Surgeon becomes apparent. Additionally, ensuring that these combatants maintain their physical condition falls within the responsibilities of the accompanying Surgeon. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to view these skilled Surgeons as caretakers for special forces members. Their existence is akin to ground support personnel in modern air forces.
Are we digressing again? Apologies!
Back to the main point.
It was precisely because of Xiao Yu'er's choice that Luzi added the position of Surgeon to the future Special Forces Unit. Regardless of whether anyone understood or not, as the founder of this unit, he did not need to explain to anyone why he made this decision.
Naturally, King Qin would not inquire too much about the details regarding the number of personnel and other aspects of the Special Forces Unit. All I need from you is to get things done clearly; as for other matters, you can handle them yourself! Whether this Troops consists of ten personnel or fifty, it doesn't matter!
If it weren't for Xiao Yu'er worrying that Luzi's body couldn't withstand it and choosing to join the team; if it weren't for the impassable Dan Shui River between Qin Zhao's two armies; if it weren't for the occurrence of the Shangdang Campaign; if it weren't for King Qin's order that they must cross the Natural Barrier before late December; if it weren't for Luzi having this idea of forming a new troop type that he had planned years ago; if it weren't for...
It can be seen that this is probably what is called natural destiny. History is always filled with countless coincidences, as if guided by fate. When heaven wants you to succeed, no one can stop you!
What made Luzi feel like he had found a treasure was not only because Xiao Yu'er possessed an extraordinary ability for psychological self-repair. There was also a hidden realization in his heart, nodding secretly while feeling pleased with himself. If what Wang Jian mentioned about the Azure Dragon Guard and Vermilion Bird Guard truly existed in history, then Xiao Yu'er could very well be a descendant of the Vermilion Bird Guard!
Jiang Xiaoyuer is a descendant of the Flame Emperor, which is an undeniable fact. A glance at history clearly shows that there must be many royal direct relatives within the so-called royal guard! This is a necessity for the organization and also for history! A guard force loyal only to the royal family cannot simply express their loyalty with words! When faced with life-and-death choices, it is often these individuals who step forward to turn the tide!
Ha! This brain just fears that you won't use it continuously! Even if one is dull, potential can still be sparked!
Luzi's brain was already sharp, and at this moment thinking of the Dragon Guard immediately linked him to Wang Jian's mention of personally overseeing the formation of this Troops. The reason Wang Jian insisted on this was because there were many secrets involved!
In other words, Wang Jian deliberately concealed many matters! Realizing this, Luzi turned to look at Xiao Yu'er. Just as he saw her clear eyes like calm water, he suddenly understood what Wang Jian wanted to hide!
Heritage! Bloodline!
Damn it! So that's why old Wang was being so cryptic! Enlightened, Luzi appeared exceptionally excited and suddenly spun around several times with the bewildered Xiao Yu'er in his arms. "Haha! It's just that simple! Young man! Dare to play tricks with me!? Looks like you're still young!"
Almost dizzy from being spun around, Xiao Yu'er managed to hold herself up and grasped Luzi's arm, asking, "General! Who's playing tricks with you?"
Li Xin walked over to General Wang Jian, who was standing with his hands in his pockets, keeping watch for Luzi. He happened to see Luzi in the woods, looking quite excited. Clearing his throat deliberately, he said, "General Wang! Is it possible that this gentleman's long period of unconsciousness could have an effect on his brain?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian turned to look at him and suddenly recalled the scene when he returned to the village. He remembered how Li Xin had come over to curry favor with him, looking like a dog with its tail between its legs. "What bad things did you say about me to General Lu yesterday?!"
Although he was clearly talking about Luzi, how did it turn into a discussion about yesterday? Li Xin glanced at the questioner beside him, grinned without answering directly. Looking around, he finally said irritably, "Can we talk about something serious?"
Seeing this evasion, Wang Jian became even more convinced of his earlier suspicion. "What I'm asking is indeed serious!"
Li Xin noticed that their conversation was going nowhere. Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, he suddenly focused on something in the distance and fell silent.
