Chapter378Rescuing Raynaud, Surviving In Dire Circumstances
The team members nodded in agreement. They knew Raynaud's injuries couldn't wait. They immediately contacted the spaceship and arranged for Raynaud to be sent back to Alfa Planet.
On the spaceship, Liliana stayed by Raynaud's side, constantly praying for him and encouraging him. She hoped he could survive and get back on his feet.
After some time, the spaceship finally arrived at Alfa Planet.
Raynaud was rushed to the medical center for urgent treatment. Liliana and the other team members anxiously waited outside.
Inside the medical center, the lights were bright, and various advanced medical equipment were operating rapidly. Doctors were busy moving between patient rooms, providing emergency care to Raynaud.
A chief surgeon told Enzo and the others, "His injuries are extremely serious. We must operate immediately. We will do everything we can to save him, but you should also prepare yourselves."
Enzo's heart tightened when he heard this. He looked at Raynaud, unconscious, filled with guilt and worry. He knew that if it weren't for Alfa Planet's honor, Raynaud wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries during this competition.
Enzo pleaded, "Doctor, please, you must save him!"
The doctor nodded. "We will do our best. You should wait outside for now."
Reluctantly, Enzo and the others stepped out of the operating room and anxiously waited. Time seemed to drag on, with every second feeling like an eternity.
Liliana said,"It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked him to block that sword, he wouldn't have been injured." Her voice filled with self-blame, tears welling in her eyes.
Enzo patted her shoulder. "Don't say that, Liliana. Given the situation, anyone would have made the same choice. Raynaud got hurt protecting us. He's our hero."
The other team members comforted Liliana, urging her not to blame herself too much. Still, their own worries and anxiety hadn't eased at all.
Eventually, after what felt like an eternity, the operating room door opened. The doctors stepped out, exhausted but wearing faint smiles of relief.
The doctor said, "The surgery was successful. Raynaud is no longer in critical condition. However, he will need some time to recover and rest."
Hearing this news, Enzo and the others let out a collective sigh of relief. They thanked the doctor and asked about Raynaud's treatment plan moving forward.
The doctor explained Raynaud's condition and recovery plan in detail, emphasizing the importance of closely monitoring his health and conducting regular check-ups and rehabilitation.
Enzo and the others listened carefully, promising to follow the doctor's instructions. They knew Raynaud's recovery would take time and patience, but they would be there to support him until he fully recovered.
In the following days, Liliana and the others took turns caring for Raynaud.
Under their careful attention, his condition improved significantly.
However, just as Raynaud was about to recover and be discharged, an unexpected piece of news arrived. The competition was about to resume!
"What? The competition is continuing?" Enzo was shocked when he heard the news. "But Raynaud hasn't fully recovered yet!"
The messenger nodded. "Yes, the competition is indeed continuing. This is the decision of the Star League, and we cannot change it."
"What should we do?" Patricia asked Enzo, "Maybe you can think of a way to find someone to replace Raynaud for the competition?"
Enzo asked,"I'm thinking of having Cruise Main replace Raynaud. What do you think?"
After a brief pause, Enzo's gaze grew determined as he spoke. "Cruise Main is indeed a good choice. He's powerful, and he works well with us. But we need to ask him first to see if he's willing to step up at this moment."
Matilda volunteered, "I'll talk to him."
Enzo nodded. "Alright, Matilda, go speak with Cruise Main and see what he thinks. Meanwhile, let's also prepare for other contingencies, just in case."
Matilda nodded and immediately went to find Cruise Main.
Matilda said,"Cruise, your master wants you to replace Raynaud in the competition. Are you willing to do that?"
Cruise Main responded, "Of course I am. I've been wanting to take on those punks from other planets. Oh, by the way, Charcot is also going to compete. He called me."
Matilda asked curiously, "Charcot? Which Charcot?"
Cruise Main smiled slightly and explained the phone call from Charcot.
It was then that Matilda remembered who Charcot was.
She looked at Cruise Main and said, "Cruise, I'm sure your master will be pleased to hear that you're willing to do this. But there's not much time left for preparation, and the competition is about to begin. I hope you can work well with the other four teammates and not cause any problems."
Cruise Main said, showing great respect for her, always addressing her as Ms. Matilda."Don't worry, Ms. Matilda."
Cruise Main continued, "I'll do my best. This is the honor of Alfa Planet. I'm determined to make Alfa Planet a respected name in the Star League."
"Respected? What do you mean?"
Cruise Main replied,"The president of the Star League."
Matilda asked, laughing,"You want Enzo to become the president of the Star League? Do you think he'd want that?"
Cruise Main didn't care about such details. He simply said, "I think my master wouldn't mind."
Matilda replied with a smile,"That's not so certain."
...
On the other side, Enzo gathered the other four team members and informed them of the rescheduled competition and Raynaud's inability to participate.
Upon hearing the news, the others' expressions varied.
Liliana spoke first, "Alright, Lord Enzo, what should we do?"
Enzo looked at everyone, his gaze firm. "We must continue to fight, for the honor of Alfa Planet, and for Raynaud."
He turned to Jordan. "Jordan, as the captain, you need to lead the team, keep everyone steady, and leverage our team's strengths."
Jordan nodded, determination flashing in his eyes. "Don't worry, Lord Enzo, I'll do it."
Next, Eno looked at Bruce Brown. "Bruce, your shadow magic is one of our most powerful weapons. At a critical moment, be decisive and strike."
Bruce Brown smiled slightly. "Understood, Lord Enzo. I'll wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
Kehl gripped his longbow, his eyes burning with focus. "I'll use my archery to open up opportunities for the team and provide long-range support."
Enzo patted Kehl on the shoulder. "Good job, Kehl. Your precise shots will be key to our victory."
Finally, Enzo looked at Liliana. "Liliana, you are the core of our team. Stay calm, and lead everyone in coordinated efforts."
Liliana nodded, a trace of sadness in her eyes that quickly turned into determination. "I will, Lord Enzo. For Raynaud, for Alfa Planet, we will win."
Enzo looked at them all, warmth welling up inside. "Alright, let's prepare and face the upcoming challenges."
The others responded in unison, "Yes, Lord Enzo!"
At that moment, Matilda entered with Cruise Main.
Feeling a bit relieved upon seeing Cruise, Enzo said, "Cruise, you're just in time. We've decided to have you replace Raynaud in the competition. Are you willing?"
Cruise Main nodded without hesitation. "Of course I'm willing, Lord Enzo. For the honor of Alfa Planet, I'm willing to give everything."
Enzo patted Cruise's shoulder. "Good. I trust in your strength, and I believe you'll work well with the other team members. We are a team, and we'll face the challenges together."
Cruise Main said, "Yes, Lord Enzo." His eyes were filled with determination.
Enzo turned to the rest of the team. "Alright, time is tight. We're heading to the competition venue immediately. Stay calm and perform at your best."
The team responded in unison, "Yes!"
...
In the Temple of the Seven Gods.
The leaders of the Rage Temple and Lust Temple heard that Enzo and the team were about to leave Alfa Planet and head to the Star League for the final battle.
They immediately came over.
They called out to Enzo before he could leave.
The leader of Rage Temple said,"Enzo, you should know that this competition concerns the future of Alfa Planet. How prepared are you?"
Enzo replied, "I've made preparations. Don't worry, I'll bring back good news."
The leader of Lust Temple asked, "Then... is there anything we can do to help?"
Enzo said, "Guard Alfa Planet. I have a feeling that once we leave, other planets might take the opportunity to attack Alfa. We can't let Alfa Planet fall."
The leader of Lust Temple said, nodding, "Don't worry, Enzo. We'll protect Alfa Planet and wait for your triumphant return."
...
Enzo and the team, carrying their mission and hopes, embarked on their journey to the Star League. Their hearts were filled with a thirst for victory and a longing for Raynaud. On the spaceship, Cruise Main and Charcot sat side by side, discussing tactics and strategies, making their final preparations for the upcoming competition.
When the spaceship arrived at the Star League competition venue, the place was already buzzing with activity. Teams from various planets were nervously doing their last warm-ups and adjustments. Enzo and the others quickly found their resting area and began their final preparations for the competition.
Standing before the team with his gaze unwavering, Enzo said,"Listen up, everyone. Although Raynaud cannot fight alongside us, his spirit will always be with us. We must give our all, for him and for the honor of Alfa Planet!"
The team nodded, determination gleaming in their eyes.
"Hey, people from Alfa Planet, what are they doing here? They still want to fight?"
"They've all been injured! And seriously wounded! Don't they know when to quit?"
"Do they have any substitute players?"
