PART 8
At the 45 lash Lyen no longer feels anything, she rolls her eyes back and then closes them. Just a moan can be heard from her mouth.
She can barely keep her head straight, just for a little longer... The second soldier delivers the 46th blow of the whip and she collapses completely,
she no longer makes a sound and her head tilts back. Lyen is completely passed out.
The soldier tries to give her the 47 lash of her, but she remains still totally unconscious, hanging only from her ropes.
Lyen, she didn't make it. Too much pain and stress to bear unfortunately. Even for a strong and trained soldier like her.
The commander:
"Stop! There's no point in continuing to hit her if she's passed out. She can't feel anything! Doctor examine her and wake her up and tell us if she can continue the flogging,
there are still 5 lashes left"
The doctor first tries to feel the pulse from her neck, feeling very little of her, her breathing is very slow, almost imperceptible.
Then the doctor uses the stethoscope to listen to Lyen's heart. Then he takes her blood pressure... very low!
"She is not in good shape, her heartbeat is weak and her blood pressure is too low, she cannot continue the flogging.
The wounds on her back are quite bad, she needs them cleaned disinfected and some of her needs stitched.
Even if we wake her up, in these conditions... after a couple of lashes she will lose consciousness again and not only that...
she risk complete collapse sir, a possible cardiac arrest. She needs immediate treatment"
The commander:
"Very well then... the flogging ends here. This is my decision. I think she has understood the lesson! Untie her!"
The two soldiers who were whipping her untie her, with one arm around the neck of one soldier and the other arm around the neck of the other,
Lyen is taken away still unconscious to the infirmary to receive medical treatment.
